Texas State senator wants to allow school shooting victims to sue state

[DougC]

From the Bearing Arms blog: "If someone is a victim of a school shooting, should they be able to sue the state for somehow allowing that shooting to happen? As things currently stand, they can’t, and that stands to reason. The state has no duty to protect you as an individual. They can’t protect you as an individual."

Read the blog to learn more of what state senator Roland Gutierrez would like to put into law.

I have no interest in paying state to protect and then paying again when state fails.

Big lawyer case. Nope, just paying for votes. Stupid people want $ for anything that happens to them.

Yep, and many elected officials see those dollars as available cash to be distributed. To them or their constituents.

Should be allowed to sue the individuals though.

While I support the idea of personally suing the individuals who make schools and other places gun-free zones (guess the murderers couldn't read the signs), this bill would just be a cash cow for the anti-2A groups....

Texas house has a lot of scum in it. Senate is about as bad.

 

[TXAZ]

Sen. Roland Gutierrez has a great idea, IF the bill includes civil and criminal liability for every politician who lies in any way to constituents.

 

[Sam7sf]

People disgust me. All people do after a tragedy is look for a cash grab.

 

[Bozz10mm]

The bill is about gun control. If it were to pass, the state would have no option but to pass much, much more restrictive gun control laws.

San Antonio district people need to contact Roland Gutierrez and put him on notice

Another commiecrat posturing for votes.

Gutierrez es un todo pendejo. His district is in a very liberal area of Bexar county.

He is a lawyer who is probably hoping to make some money off of these people.
