Bay Area Houston

You think it can’t happen here? Think. Again.

In the 2023 Texas Legislation session House Bill 179 was filed by Representative Goodwin. It would ban all firearms at protests, public gatherings, parades, and other events. It was filed, sent to the “Community Safety” Committee and died. There was no hearings, public testimony, discussion. Nothing. Zero. Zip. It just fucking died. So guns are allowed at the next Astros victory parade.

The law to be modified currently makes it a crime to expose yourself, shout profanities, make offensive gestures, create an obnoxious odor, make threats, makes unreasonable noise, fights with another, discharges a firearm, or display your anus. The bill added “displays a firearm while attending or within 500 feet of a public demonstration.” In Houston you cannot carry an American flag on a pole and would be asked to leave the area, but you can take that same flag and put it on a loaded AR-15 and the police can’t do a gaddamn thing about it.

If this had passed you would be subject to being shot by the police if you open carry an assault weapon at an Astros victory parade or at a 4th of July Parade. If you are carrying a firearm in public, then you are a danger to the public.

By the way, Friendswood allows open carry of assault weapons at their parade and park during the 4th of July weekend. Have fun!

When will we demand action?

What will it take before we demand action on gun control from our elected officials? What will it take? Who has to die before we get up off our ass and do something? Will it take a mass shooting at a school killing twenty one 1st graders? Or nineteen 9 year olds? Or 8 high school students right here in the Bay Area? When will all you fuckin so called “Christians” put your goddamn bible down, the one you never read, and finally demand action after 26 christians were killed while praying in church? Maybe Joel Osteen might have something to say about it.

It is clear as fucking glass Greg Abbott isn’t going to get off his ass and do something about gun violence. Neither is Ted Cruz, or our own State Representative Dennis Paul. They think it is fun to pose with guns, or fry bacon on an assault rifle, or walk around like a dork with an NRA hat. It’s a game to them. It is funny and people, children, christians, police, service men, dancers, teachers, and others are dying. Real fucking funny.

So it is up to us and so far we have failed. You would have thought the voters in Uvalde would have voted Abbott off the island after the shooting at Ross Elementary. They didn’t, and they are not alone. Voters in Texas returned the very person responsible for gun violence, they guy who bragged about making Texas a sanctuary state for guns, back to office so he could continue sitting on his ass and do nothing while children and police are slaughtered.

The only thing Texans are good at is making fucking [fill in the blank] Strong t-shirts. What’s it going to take before we do something? Dennis Paul can be reached at (281) 488-8900.

I’ll give you one guess.

After the Uvalde shooting that took the lives of 19 children I met State Representative Dennis Paul on the greenbelt while walking our dogs. I began my conversation with “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU DENNIS?”. Needless to say the conversation went downhill from that point forward. Dennis Paul and his cowardly republican buddies gave that shooter easy access to a firearm and he used it shattering the lives of many families and the Uvalde community.

Paul doesn’t care who has easy access to firearms no matter who gets killed. According multiple reports this senseless shooting that took the life of a 7 year old child might have been prevented. The shooter had a history of mental problems, was going through a tough divorce process including custody issues. She has a history of criminal activity which ended in surrendering of some firearms. Yet because of easy access to firearms she was able to buy an AR15. Luckily a couple of off duty law enforcement officers shot and killer her, as well as her son.

Maybe some kind of red flag law would have prevented this shooting. Maybe some kind of change in our gun nut culture could have prevented this shooting but don’t look to Paul to make that happen. Last year Paul was all weepy about a young women, a member of the Executive Committee of the Texas Republican Party, who was shot and killed by her husband. He also killed himself leaving three young children without parents. She too was going through an ugly divorce. Paul offered thoughts and prayers.

This latest shooting and future shootings could be prevented if Paul and his fucked up buddies would get off their goddamn knees and do something. So as I asked before WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU DENNIS?

Well, how are those thoughts and prayers doing fer ya?

This shooting could have been so much worse. The shooter picked the wrong place in the church to open fire and was killed by two off duty policemen. The child she brought with her is in critical condition possibly also shot by the police. As we have said over and over again, thoughts and prayers will not stop people from killing people then they have easy access to firearms and with the gun culture we have in the United States.

Cruz has contributed to that fucked up culture. He thinks it is funny, cute, to cook bacon on the barrel of an assualt style weapon and post it on YouTube. He thinks it is cute to dress up like Fidel Castro and take photo ops at the border claiming there is an invasion of immigrants and yet doing nothing about it. Last night someone tried to do something about it and all that sick fuck Cruz could do was say he and his ugly ass wife was praying for those affected.

Fuck you Ted. You are partially responsible for this shooting as you were for Uvalde, Santa Fe, Fort Hood, Sutherland Church, El Paso Walmart, Midland-Odessa and Allen mall shooting. You have made us unsafe at schools, churches, parades, rallies, football games, and every public event.

Do us a favor and shut your fucking mouth.
