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

Opinion: We analyzed 53 years of mass shooting data. Attacks aren't just increasing, they're getting deadlier https://t.co/WPL6Dyocyp

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

The United States currently has more guns in circulation, nearly 350 million, than any country in the entire HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

No other nation is remotely close.

And as the number climbs, mass shootings climb, and gun deaths climb to a record high.

The more Americans die from mass shootings the more guns Americans will be led to believe they need to "protect" themselves. The more gun laws make it easier for them to "protect themselves," the more we all die.

The more we all die, the more we all die.#ElPasoShooting

Did you know that the United States is the ONLY nation in the world that has more guns than people?

We have 122 guns for every 100 people.

No other nation has 100.
Or 90.
Or 80.
Or 70.
Or 60 guns per 100 people.

In fact, only 1 other nation has more than 40.

The Right continues to blame mental illness as the cause of gun violence.

FACT: People w/mental illness commit less than 5% of violent crimes & are more likely to be victims than perpetrators.

The problem is easy access to guns.#ElPaso #Dayton #Gilroy pic.twitter.com/MeabE9PtKw

Remember this video when someone in 45’s rally said to “shoot Immigrants” and rather than condemn him—45 laughed about it.😳

The #ElPaso terrorist acted exactly in accordance to 45’s joke & shot & killed 20 people.

I am highly suspicious of white people saying "Don't name the shooter or show his face" after 100 years of you naming and showing every Black face and mugshot in the papers and on the news who ever made a single mistake.

This shooter wasn't anonymous. He must be named & shown. https://t.co/qxax6vUz2q

We can confirm that this is the Wal-Mart shooter.

I just read what is being called his manifesto.

He is another white nationalist – saying that he did it because immigrants are taking over the country.
