A slew of new laws easing restrictions on firearms went into effect in Texas on Sunday, one day after a gunman went on a shooting rampage

Several new laws loosening gun restrictions in Texas went into effect a day after a mass shooting killed 7 people and injured 22.

The laws:
– allow handguns in places of worship
– let people store guns, ammunition in school parking lots
– allow more armed guards in schools pic.twitter.com/BUAFE6Z8pq

As of September 1, which was the 244th day of the year, there have been 283 mass shootings in the U.S.

After each mass shooting, the GOP defends the NRA more than children, families, and victims.

Trump's response to the Odessa mass shooting during a media availability on Sunday was to thank law enforcement and say "it could've been worse." He didn't say a word about the victims or about guns. He quickly moved on to other topics. pic.twitter.com/v1NRJeFZJX

Midland-Odessa, TX Mass Shooting

Frustrating&heartbreaking that we’re living through 279th mass shooting of 2019 (We’re on day 243 of 2019, btw)

But we have the power to stop this madness

In November 2020, we must vote out lawmakers who empower killers by ensuring guns are easy to get. It really is that simple

1/ After a mass shooting left 8 dead in West Texas, a Texas lawmaker is asserting that he would not support any new gun restrictions.

He says that includes:

BREAKING: He has been arrested.

Yeah, he’s alive and well. And that’s just fine that he will face justice.

There's a distinct lack of coverage on how the #WaffleHouse shooting was likely racially-motivated.

All of the dead were people of color; the shooter was a white man with a history of white supremacy.

If we can't even talk about this, it won't ever be fixed.
