Most of them have to do with the nature of fumes coming from sewage treatment plants and toxic waste dumps.

What is the main function of a gun, after all?

Hint: not to carve a Thanksgiving turkey or drive your kid to school.

Regulate heavily the sale of new and existing firearms, require the registration of existing ones, and have massive penalties for anyone who doesn't register and gets caught.

It will take a generation to see change, although declines in murder and suicide will begin almost immediately. That "it takes a long time" doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile endeavor. It took about the same length of time to build the Great Pyramid. It can be done without stepping on anyone's freedom or jackbooted thugs.

Even by Texas Republican Governor standards (i.e., Dubya, Rick Perry), Abbott is a worthless hateful little turd.
