Another shooting broke out in south Dallas overnight. Someone was killed in an apparent drive-by incident; an individual fired a weapon at an individual and the cops are trying to investigate the cause of it.

OK. Now, let’s back up a bit. The Texas Legislature in 2021 enacted a law that Gov. Greg Abbott signed to make it legal for any yahoo in Texas to pack a firearm. No training required. Anyone can pack heat. Sure, they have to pass a background check and not have a felony conviction on their record.

The idea — if I recall it correctly — was to allow more guns on the streets to enable individuals to defend themselves against morons who open fire with these weapons.

What is disturbing and dangerous in the extreme is that damn few media reports we see and hear and read mention anyone firing back in “self-defense.” The shootings involve dipsh**s firing weapons while arguing with someone. We hear about the road rage incidents when someone pulls a gun and starts firing after being cut off in traffic.

If this open carry legislation is designed make us “safer” by enabling Texans to use these weapons to defend themselves and others, then why aren’t we hearing more reporting about it? I think I know why. It’s because it isn’t happening!

With that I want to offer a word of “thanks” to Gov. Abbott and the Legislature for putting us in even more danger … you morons!
