GUN CRAZY (Texas edition)

 
No permit.  No training.  Insanity,

Top headline:  New York Times. 10/26/2022
Bottom headlineAmerican Progress, 8/18/2022

NYT excerpt:
The shooting was part of what many sheriffs, police leaders and district attorneys in urban areas of Texas say has been an increase in people carrying weapons and in spur-of-the-moment gunfire in the year since the state began allowing most adults 21 or over to carry a handgun without a license.
Quote from American Progress: 
"States with more permissive gun laws and greater gun ownership had higher rates of mass shootings, and a growing divide appears to be emerging between restrictive and permissive states."
