Texas is trash. Yeah, I messed w you, gfy.
Hmm funny all these mass shootings aren’t happening in “blue” states 🤔
Muricans are losing it
Who cares what kind of gun it was!!! The media is just targeting the sort of weapons that we the people need to defend ourselves against tyranny. If the government uses this same weapon and then tells you that you don’t need it, that’s a problem. Just look at history
Everything – EVERYTHING! – about this from the media reporting it, to law enforcement is driving me absolutely insane. You say the suspect is still at large. WHO IS HE? Do you have a picture? A name? What is he driving? Got a plate number? Where was he last seen? He's just "some dangerous brown guy with a gun???" You have neighbors who have said that he has been in his yard shooting his gun before. What?! Shell casings found in the frontyard? That's not an issue, law enforcement? You don't think that could be problematic for the neighbors?
I can't believe that we're at a point where people in a suburban neighborhood can tell police that there is a person on their block who will shoot their weapon on a semi-regular basis, and nothing is done until people are slaughtered. Ridiculous.
As a gun owner and a veteran it sounds like a repeated failure on the part of law enforcement. Who lets a guy shoot in the FRONT yard?
How do you share news I'm trying to figure it haven't really been a huge fan of YouTube for the last 20 years
Bring back the death penalty for all violent murder cases
Who would walk up to someone with an AR shooting and try to reason rationally with them? That makes no sense he’s already acting crazy
How was this guy known for firing his rifle in his front yard and not in jail. Texans cant be that dumb right?
Of course he was!
Thoughts and prayers incoming!
Proves this person has mental problems. Since he has done this before why was it not addressed by authorities? This is the problem when people are known to have problems but everyone refuses to act. They always want to blame the gun,an inanimate object that can’t hurt anyone without the person behind it.
That's what happens when you give a Big mouth Texan a gun.
More CIA mind control
Focus on the rifle instead of the criminal…who was a Mexican national.
We should ban shoes, because if you think about it, people run to go commit felonies, they have to walk and run. Let's ban shoes
oOoOO God here come the politicians and crisis counselors. What a world we live in. The entitlement in the United States is all to real
So this guy got mad because someone told him to stop shooting his AR-15. Are people that stupid nowadays. This is Ridiculous. Hope he gets the death penalty.
Texas is purposely creating a gun slinging Wild West so that the religious evangelicals will be more welcomed when they try to come in to “fix” the problem of gun violence and moral decay. This is a long game plan. The various threads are being picked up little by little and in separate locations so the frogs don’t notice the water getting hot.
Murica!! 🇺🇸
Let me guess, this is when all of those thoughts and prayers get offered, right? This nonsense is never going to end. Guns matter more than people, just ask the NRA and the GOP.
Figures something like that in Republican run state out of all things women and babies being murdered go figure. Great job your doing there governor A$$Hole Abbott.
You know, it used to be when we heard about a mass shooting like these, the nation was shocked, stunned. But thanks to the republican party and the national riffle association, these acts of domestic terrorism are so common, they're becoming little more than just another story in the news. 😢
I hope this doesn't happen again this week
I see a dog and I immediately hit like.
This guy is exactly like 75% of all my neighbors…always shooting at something always drunk & always hunting on other peoples land.
This is uvalde but in a neighborhood. Weak lazy cops sounds like.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 156
This happened here, in the US? Can't believe it ….
#NRAPandemic Another #GunSexualsMurderingInnocents
Just cops showing us again why they're nothing but welfare queens. What a great use of our tax dollars, right?
people will keep defending his right to own and use military hardware while drunk in a neighborhood sadly. go ask the founding fathers what they meant by a well regulated militia and if they meant high capacity rifles with little regulations
Time to ban alcohol 🍸
I guess, the guy was drunk and thought that he could use his "its just another consumer product when he wants to"
The most dangerous state to live in, Texas, hands down, crazy gun happy people. Abbott has the blood on his hands and does nothing to stop it.
I wonder if it's gonna turn out that it wasn't an AR 15 again. You know like how it was said that that Trans girl targeted that Christian school with 2 AR 15s but it turned out they weren't AR 15s. You fools and trying to ban a gun because of its looks not its function because you believe the democrats when they say it's basically a machine gun but it's not it's just a regular rifle. I wish you lefties would educate yourselves before trying to ban a gun because of its cosmetics.
The victims were from Honduras,I guess the second amendment is much better than a border wall after all lol
this is not news it's just the same old s**t Blame the rebublicans
What a disgrace to gun owners
We need to raise the mass shooting level. It is set at 4 or more now.
Ban 2a
As an African, who also is naturalized citizen of this great country, i actually feel safer back home then some parts of the States nowadays. Sad RIP. Can you imagine if you didn't these brave cops dealing with all these nutcases, how things would have been
No more fist fights couple of brokens that’s it
Guns good books bad … usa nra
Texas could have Red Flag laws that would still allow people to have AR-15s but would balance that with the police being able to seize guns and force owners who do this type of thing to appear in court to explain their behavior and document their psychological maladies before potentially getting their guns back. But no… can't do that. "Thoughts and prayers."
Gov abbot thoughts and prayers next
Don't
Guns
Make
Us Safe…😐
Killing innocent people in Texas is perfectly fine. Only abortion is illegal.
