(13,420 posts)My kid opted for A & M for college. She changed majors and decided to get back closer to home just as the legislature there enacted that dumbass law forcing colleges to accept armed students. I find it ironic that Texas is OK FINE with guns but you can't buy a freaking vibrator there. (WTF is wong with those people?)
I have a lot of appreciation for the people we met there and for how kind they all were to us whenever we visited. Not so much for that bullshit gun humper attitude and the hate for women.
My sympathies to all who are grieving after today.

Court records show he was sentenced to 120 days in the Dallas County jail for violating probation. He also was sentenced to five years of probation for the robbery and fleeing police.

(82,849 posts)But certainly not enough Texans didn't want this to outnumber and outvote those who did. So what are they going to do now? Shake their heads in sorrow? Mouth further meaningless platitudes about thoughts and prayers? Or get a smidgen more active to try to make their position the position of a majority of Texans?
