Is it me thinking this or is this governor Abbott a freaking idiot?

[kimbutgar]

These new gun laws will make a Texas safer????? I was screaming at my tV.

That said, I will never set foot in Texas ever again.

[shockey80]

1. He is your typical American idiot.

He is normal.

[Stallion]

2. This is the Worst Press Conference Ever

Thoughts and Prayer and protect the 2nd Amendment

[uponit7771]

8. +1, and hand claps and we need more guns in the hands of everyone as a "solution"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. a selected PART of the 2nd Amendment ...

They never want to protect the full 2nd Amendment:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/second_amendment

Instead, the Right-Wing Nut Job judges installed by the RWNJs have created an abbreviated 2nd Amendment that they can worship:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

As to Abbott and his ilk ...

[kimbutgar]

18. +1

[madaboutharry]

3. He said that he just signed 15 new laws

that will make "schools safer."

Another politician owned by the NRA.

[Andy823]

28. Exactly!

he say he is tired of the shootings, yet he just made it easier for people to carry guns anyplace the go. More idiots with guns is not what we need.

[Voltaire2]

4. It is their deeply held religious belief

that more idiots with guns everywhere will make us safer.

[bronxiteforever]

5. He is odious and stupid. Quite a combination!

[Gothmog]

6. Greg is indeed an idiot

[uponit7771]

7. He is an idealouge and blind spotted but you'd think someone loved him enough to tell him

[JCMach1]

9. Always pegged him as more of an asshole, which somehow makes it worse... he understands

the shit he's causing

[Rowdyag]

13. Yup..

He understands and just doesn’t give a good goddamn about the people he supposedly serves.

[snowybirdie]

10. Last competent

Governor in Texas was Ann Richards!

[kimbutgar]

15. I met her once she was awesome

[vlyons]

11. It's the corruption, stupid!

Follow the money

[Faux pas]

12. He's that

and a raging asshole, just like the hump and, it's a very bad combo.

[Liberal In Texas]

14. Repubs live in opposite world

where the answer to gun violence is more guns.

Plus they're all corrupt with the NRA lavishing money on them.

[IcyPeas]

17. Greg Abbott tweeted this a few weeks ago:

"I'm embarrassed Texas #2 in nation for new gun purchases, behind California. Let's pick up the pace Texans. @NRA"

20. Don't you wish he would get some kind of karmic payback?

What a POS. I remember seeing that tweet and being disgusted.

[Paladin]

19. Abbott is a freaking idiot---and a major league NRA suckhole.

We Texans will try to make do, without your presence.

[kimbutgar]

22. I loved Texas the times I have been there

I always thought I’d return someday and see Dallas and go to San Antonio again. But when tourists fear going to your state that is a big problem.

[Paladin]

23. Hey, I'm a native Texan, and it's been HOURS since somebody shot at me.

Seriously though, you're more than welcome to make a return visit.

[Skittles]

26. none of this is funny

NONE OF IT

[Paladin]

31. You know what's not funny?

A schoolmate of mine's mother being killed by Charles Whitman on the UT-Austin campus, August 1, 1966.

I've been here at DU for 18 years, and I challenge you to find anybody with a more pro-gun control record.

And if the continued victories of the Other Side drive me into a black humor once in a while, I suggest you fucking deal with it.

[Skittles]

32. and I have lived in Texas over 40 years

they deserve their reputation

[spanone]

21. He signed laws that make getting and using guns easier....FUCK ABBOTT

[JPK]

24. Abbott....

He's Texass' equivalent of Florida's Dick Scott.

[Skittles]

25. he is sick, gun humping NRA whore

[TeamPooka]

27. He's selling the idea that all "gun laws" are equal, even ones that let more guns into places they

should not be.

[spanone]

29. It was like an NRA press conference.
