But of course it happened in Texas, that shining example of how to solve problems through responsible gun display and ownership.

1. Bastrop

is real near my home town, despite proximity to Austin it is a hotbed of backwardness.

Some may remember it for the bad fires a few years back. Most recently it was the center of anti-Jade Helm paranoia.

There's a lot of guns in Bastrop.

4. Jade-Helm? Is that the one where Pres O declares martial law

and uses tanks to lay siege against some place in Texas? How did that work out, anyway?

5. In fairness, most of the locals mocked Jade Helm rather mercilessly.

It was actually kind of amusing. Lots of letters to the editor, mocking Abbott in interviews, etc.

3. Sorry about that,

and I wish things were different...

6. It's my home state too

going back several generations.

And it deserves shit thrown at it.

7. OMG! Four adults shot!!

What an outrage!! This NEVER happens anywhere!

Oh, wait. Just another day in gun-ridden America.

Never mind.

8. Spare us the gratuitous Texas Bashing, OK?

As tragic as this event in Bastrop is, it'll likely be eclipsed by a bigger shooting incident in another state before week's end. Gun violence is a national problem---I shouldn't have to remind anyone of that grim fact.

9. Not all states glorify

the open display of lethal weapons in their legislation and culture and walk around bragging about it. That was the point of my remark, and I stand by it. The message is if you have a problem, solve it with a gun because of the "Second Amendment, and Liberty, and Freedom" bullshit.

Yes, there will be more atrocious gun violence events in almost every state, and those of us who want to change the "guns for everyone, everywhere culture" to a "safe gun culture" will point those out as examples of how not to deal with a problem.

I realize that not all residents of Texas are gun nuts, and I apologize if I have offended you. I wish things were different -- but facts are facts.
