Following a mass shooting in West Texas, today Texas gun laws became even more lax — allowing more people to be armed in public spaces.
They were murdered doing the most mundane of activities: shopping at Walmart, going to work, grabbing a drink at a bar, watching a movie, attending a concert, going to class. And these are just lives lost in the most high profile of cases—the mass shootings that have become the new norm in America. But every day in our country, 100 people die because of gun violence, according to theto Prevent Gun Violence.
Again and again, legislation on the state and federal level that would introduce"red-flag laws" that allow police or family members to temporarily take firearms from those deemed a danger to themselves or others, background checks, waiting periods, and a ban on assault rifles is stymied by pro-gun politicians.
