Genesis Amanie Rodriguez, 22, has been charged with deadly conduct after this video went viral of her firing a gun out a car window while riding through a West Bexar County neighborhood in Texas.

Permitless carry went into effect in Texas in 2021. #txlege

1. What the actual f*k? What was she thinking and no, she wasn't

Thinking isn’t true. She was thinking something. Certainly she thought she was extra privileged.

2. Why The Surprise? This Is Texas, After All. nt

3. What does she get?

A free lifetime membership in the NRA?

4. I hope she gets ten years and has to serve at least five

Give her probation for her last five years if she spends them going around schools and youth centers telling young people bow badly it sucks losing a third of her youth doing something she never would have done until Governor Abbott and the Republicans in the Texas State Legislature enabled it.

5. Like idiots who shoot into the sky to celebrate, idiots like this one are completely ignorant

of the physics involved. They assume the bullets do no harm if they're shooting into what appears to be empty space.

7. In Mexico about 20 years ago

They started cracking down, in urban areas, on the ritual of firing guns into the air at midnight on New Years Eve. One year, it was assumed that 5 people were killed when bullets hit them from above, and could have only been fired straight up in the air.
I also remember a news story where they found a guy dead in his bed of a gun shot that had come through the wall of his apartment. From the angle, they decided that it could only have come from hundreds of yards away, and surmised that it had been fired from a field where people sometimes shot at targets.

6. What does a permit have to do with her conduct?

None that I can see. States that have permits have reckless conduct also.

8. requirement for a permit shows the community regards a firearm as dangerous...

.. and not as a toy any idiot can play with.

Government regulations convey expectations of appropriate behavior, providing moral guidance.

9. I bought a car the other day

would have been a whole lot quicker and easier had it been a gun

10. Maybe 6 months ago there was a road range incident in Tulsa (open permit less carry)

in which the participants parked, got out of their cars and had a duel, in the middle of one of our busiest streets. Cars and businesses damaged but no one hit.
School started in parts of OK this week, 2 were closed by threats of shootings. It's either a very popular rumor, or unreported truth that one of the threats came from a parent outraged over the library not pulling books they wanted banned and the target was teachers and administrators, not students. The police however seem clueless (or consenting) no arrests were made.

11. Youth, dope, alcohol, cameras, and guns with high capacity magazines.

Something stopped every one of those 20+ bullets, apparently she didn't give a rat's ass what. Perhaps the courts can teach her to care a little more.

12. How many shots does that pistol hold?

I counted 22.
