People are still trying to make sense of what happened in Sutherland Springs, Texas on Sunday when a lunatic with a gun opened fire in a church and killed or wounded about half of the congregation.
Is it Congress, and the GOP, who readily cash those checks from the NRA who are to blame? Is it a Congress who offers only ‘thoughts and prayers’ and not one iota of responsible gun legislation? Is it the Fat Bastard in the White House who says it’s a mental health issue and not a gun issue?
Yeah ... it is all of those things and one more ... Texas Governor, and Republican ... because, of course ... Greg Abbott.
Abbott has been a puppet of the NRA for years, actively promoting that terrorist organization and gun ownership. In fact, two years ago Abbott took to Twitter to scold Texans for allowing California to beat them in the number of new guns purchased in 2015; he was "embarrassed" by it.
He’s now trying to say that was a joke, but guns, gun violence and gun deaths are apparently only a laughing matter to Abbott and the GOP. But it’s not just that one Tweet; earlier this year Abbott literally defined Texas by its guns and open-carry and concealed-carry gun laws:
And then he bragged that he expanded open carry which allowed the gum man to bring weapons into that church:
Finally, he equated guns with "freedom", well, except when you’re dead as a result of gun violence:
Governor Abbott might just as well as have been in the church with the shooter last Sunday because he’s spent years whining that California has more guns; he’s worked as governor to make it legal to openly carry weapons ... even into churches; he’s expanded gun rights; he joked about getting a discount on food if you carried a weapon into a BBQ restaurant.
Greg Abbott has the blood of 26 dead Texans on his hands and he’s probably fine with that because all this ruckus will just spur the NRA to write him a bigger check.
I wonder, though, how much do you get for dead churchgoers, dead children, an unborn baby?

Even here in blue WA - I joked with a couple and their toddler, at the grocery store, who had cut me off and I said something about having a stick (I use one now for balance because of a medication) and then I noticed he had a pistol strapped to his side...
ReplyDeleteFUCK THIS IGNORANT SOB! blood is on his hands!
ReplyDeleteYes and he doesn't give a fuck about if he has blood on his hands or not. He's got NRA money in his bank account. Why worry. That stinking republicunt!!!
ReplyDeleteThe NRA has no shame and neither do the idiots that support them, which includes many of my own relatives. Nothing happened after a class room of 6 year olds died at the hands of a gun-toting insane person and nothing will change with these killings. Americans have just have to hope they aren't in the wrong place at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteThe number of gun related deaths in Texas will continue to rapidly grow, until they eventually balance with the stupidity of Texans.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me? Gun RIGHTS? How can guns have rights? They are inanimate objects. Abbott clearly has the wrong constituency; perhaps someone should tell him guns can't vote?
ReplyDeleteUn-fucking-believable. Still!
