    Use a gun to commit a crime: ok

    Use a gun to prevent a crime: go to jail

    I mean, I’m really surprised that violent killings DON’T happen more often, statistically. We have how many people in this state for instance, 26 million or something?
    The statistics actually help restore my faith in humanity despite interactions at a personal level. The statistics show that violent people are a tiny minority.

    You are forgetting that words are violence, and the micro-aggressions!

    I have very, very little faith in humanity. Not due to violence, mostly in the inability of people to stop being retarded before we devolve in to a socialist shit hole on a global level leading to poverty, crime, and probably multiple revolutions before things settle down again. Things will probably look much different if we (the human race) make it another 100 years.

    Wonder if he will sponsor a Bill to make any use of a firearms in a crime an automatic death penalty. Now there is some common sense legislation.

    Yep. It's a cycle that happens continuously throughout history. Things regress, really goto shit, and then get better than they were before.

    Honestly, I have a little hope for the near future because it seems current high school students are more libertarian and conservative than they have been in awhile. I think we hit bottom with the class of 2000-2010 folks.

    Translated correctly, the term "common sense" when applied to gun laws means "Do it MY way regardless of the Constitution and the will of the people!"

    I see some hope there, but I'm not sure it will be enough to turn things around.

    Common sense to me is, I don't need a law to tell me that is not a good thing to do. I hope everyone I shoot with uses common sense.

    But yes, they use the term "Common Sense" to infer to those that don't have a clue about something that it is a needed law. If I feared guns I guess I would go along with whatever someone would say is common sense without actually trying to understand what the law entails, and that's who they play on.

    There is no question that mental health plays a significant role in these attacks, and certainly, adequate mental health funding and accessibility shall be a key component to any solution to this complex issue.

    If he knows that mental health plays a significant role in these attacks then why waste taxpayers money on this fruitless venture?! You can’t legislate crazy. How about states provide the necessary information to NICS to start with? How about giving longer sentences to criminals and plea down on gun crimes. How bout that?!

    Eff this guy!

    I fully believe it is due time for what I consider the ONLY "common sense gun control": get MORE guns into MORE hands of law-abiding citizens and removing the handcuffs of the gun-free zones that are scattered numerously across this country! Allow us to defend ourselves against the criminal element; the government has shown numerous times that it cannot.

    Disarm law-abiding citizens.

    Do nothing to prevent prohibited people from getting weapons.

    Common sense ain't so common after all.

    Today, I am respectfully asking the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house of Texas to empanel a blue-ribbon Commission on Gun Violence In Texas. The primary charge of the commission shall be to determine the root causes of gun violence in Texas and to propose legislation to address these issues, to be adopted in the 86th Legislature. The secondary charge of the commission shall be to publish the findings of the commission and disseminate through education and conference the proposals of the commission.



    The panel will be chaired by an appointee of the governor, with the co-vice chairmen appointed by the lieutenant governor and speaker of the house. The commission should include four senators (two from each political party) and four members of the house (two from each political party) and four members who shall be a law enforcement specialist, a mental health expert, a member of the clergy and an ethicist (in each case to be chosen by a majority of the appointees of the chairman and vice chairman).

    There is no question that mental health plays a significant role in these attacks, and certainly, adequate mental health funding and accessibility shall be a key component to any solution to this complex issue.

    But, to be perfectly clear, the commission shall focus on ALL possible causes of gun violence in Texas including lax or deficient gun control laws and regulations in Texas. No shibboleth shall be off limits.
    THERE NEEDS TO BE COMMON SENSE GUN CONTROL REFORM IN TEXAS! If we expect a change in the outcomes, we must consider all inputs. The time is now to DO something. Whatever that may be.

    Grandstanding. Must be up for re-election. He needs to join his the Dimm's party. Drain the Swamp. Just another useless committee wasting our hard earned tax dollars.
