Is the National Guard on its way? Are the red states sending theirs in to help?

Oh no Texas. I thought you all didn't put up this stuff and everyone would have shot them?

Where's the good guy with the gun?

Texas Penal Code § 46.03

I know common sense has no place in internet debate, and reactionary bullshit reigns, but it's illegal to carry a firearm into a place that sells liquor.

Honestly, I think you're simply adding to the point being made. There's places guns aren't allowed that are super common in every city, and someone still got shot there? This will only lead to more places having gun bans (since we won't actually do anything meaningful for gun control).... meaning more places that criminals are the only ones carrying guns around shooting people.

... That's just common sense though.

Where's the good guy with the gun?

I'm confused.. Why didn't they use their panic button and call in the drones?

Okay, I know we get lax with our wordings, but calling cleveland a suburb of houston is ridiculous.
