," : I totally agree that gun violence begs for a cultural transformation and grassroots efforts, like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, are growing and addressing this. However, there is one thing that this movement needs that was not mentioned: responsible gun owners. More need to join this movement, now.

Responsible gun owners securely store their guns and ammunition. They model responsible behavior when handling a firearm. They take training to learn how to properly handle their firearm. Many were dismayed when the Texas Legislature passed the completely irresponsible permitless carry law in the 2021 legislative session, but shouldn't have been surprised after years of gun laws being steadily loosened.

Neither Gov. Greg Abbott or Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick were held accountable by voters for their utter failures to take sensible steps to reduce mass shootings in Texas or to protect the public from the increasing instances of random gun violence. They, and many of their Republican colleagues, seem to be completely beholden to the NRA and the far-right ideology of West Texas oil men. Public safety be damned.
