Don’t get your hopes up. Paul got wind of our event and left the house but not before calling HPD and the Harris County Constables which were very professional, offered an escort if needed, and provided information to keep our event safe and legal.

About 25 of us went to Paul’s house in House District 129 to encourage him to DO SOMETHING. In a letter we left we said:

We are calling on you to DO SOMETHING to curb gun violence in our state. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It is time for significant legislative action. We urge you to encourage Governor Abbott to call a special session to address gun violence immediately and in time for opening of our schools for the upcoming school year.

Paul is what is called an NRA bitch. He would walk around the voting locations wearing his stupid looking NRA hat as if it would get him more votes. His votes for every gun nut bill has put our kids, parents, teachers, and law enforcement at risk.

You have co-sponsored many of the gun bills during the 2021 session including open carry, permitless carry, and permitting the ownership of silencers with no support from law enforcement. You not only have put our children, and the public at risk, you have also made it more dangerous for our police to do their already dangerous jobs. You have put their everyones lives in danger and this must come to an end.

Enough is enough. Thanks to KHOU for reporting on this event. You can see the entire segment here. We are in the 2nd half of the coverage. We left pictures of the kids and teachers killed in Uvalde for him to remember what he is partially responsible for.

There has to be a change in the way we think about guns. They are not toys. We, especially elected officials, shouldn’t play with them or cook bacon on the barrel. We shouldn’t be posing with them or taking selfies with them. And we need assault weapons off the street. NOW.

We should allow people to buy assault weapons and automatic weapons and have them transferred to a gun range for safe storage. The owner is free to shoot it there, store it there, store their ammo there but they will never be allowed to leave with the gun or bring it home. If they want to move, then transfer it to another gun range. These guns should never be in the public again.

For those with these weapons already we should have a buy back program, paid for by they gun industry. Those who want to give up their assault weapons can then buy a gun that is better for home security. Those who want to keep their assault weapons will have a time period to arrange and pay for storage at a gun range. And those who are caught with an illegal weapon or illegal ammo after this timeframe will face a mandatory 3 years in prison.

There is no other usage for an assault weapon besides shooting them for fun or killing people. It is useless for hunting. It is a very poor choice for home protection. So let them shoot. Let them own. 

But keep them off the ***damn street.

I said it after the Sante Fe murders. The math just doesn’t add up. Lt Governor Dan Patrick suggested metal detectors for schools.

Get your slide rules out and lets do the math. Lets assume each school will need at least 1 metal detector. There are over 9300 public schools and 1200 charter schools in Texas. Each metal detector costs $4000 (not including the training, periodic calibration, and maintenance). So..

1x10500x$4000= $42,000,000 for just 1 detector per school. Assuming we average a total of 3 per school and you have a $126 Million price tag which does not include the cost of training, periodic calibration, maintenance, technical support, onsite personnel. $126 Million.

Now there are 27,848 churches in Texas that would require this brain fart of an idea to keep us safe from gun violence. There are over 600 shopping malls in Texas. So do the math then realize that this is not the answer for gun safety. As I said:

How will metal detectors in Sante Fe protect our families from a gun nut at a concert? At a church? At a night club? At a movie theatre? On the streets? Only a moron would think this is a good idea. This is nothing but a Dan Patrick gimmick as he heads into an election season with teachers lining up against him. Patrick needs to go back to school and learn some math. 

Dumbass Dan Patrick.

If anyone wanted to win the type of rifle used to kill a bunch of kids in Uvalde you will have to find another raffle/auction. According to Michelle Holland the Advisory Board Chairman of the Lunar Rendezvous Festival the auction is off.

It’s as if gun ownership is a game to some.

I wrote this letter to the editor just a few days before the Uvalde shooting:
