In an average year, 4,122 people die and 7,726 are wounded by guns in Texas. That means more than ten Texans are KIA and nearly 20 WIA every day, like a warzone. These casualty counts are similar to the Vietnam War.

This tragedy is just like Abdul Rahman Waziri, the Afghan who fought alongside USSOF in Afghanistan, who was assassinated by a neighbor in Texas a few weeks ago.

Texas Firearm Licenses in 2021: 1,006,555

In Texas, 45.7% of adults say they live in homes with guns.

By contrast, the entire country of Canada, with 40 million people, suffers less than 300 homicides by firearms per year.

The greatest lies ever told:

Tax cuts will create jobs and tinkle down.
The check is in the mail.
I will still love you in the morning.
and
An armed society is a polite society.

Texas is a lawless, nationalist limb crippling this nation.

The energy magnates who parasite this nation will experience Texas justice, imo.

Thankfully, there are so many "protective" guns surrounding them.

Mordred for being gay.

Not the same thing as "fatally shot."
