Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training...CNN: "Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs"

[rightwinger]

And tall buildings, trains, ropes, medicine cabinets....

But for some reason, when given a choice, most turn to their trusty gun

September 2014, Missouri lawmakers passed SB 656 allowing specially trained school employees to carry concealed guns on campuses. It also allows permitless concealed & open carry by any resident 19 years of age or older who may lawfully own a gun in cities or towns with bans against it.

Moron....law abiding gun owners who carry in public aren't shooting people...you dumb ass.....

The reason murder is going up in St. Louis is the democrat party is letting repeat gun offenders out on bail and out of jail and prison...you idiot....

Soros-Funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner Refuses to Charge Killer of 7-Year-Old Child Despite Suspect's Confession

Last week a suspect was arrested in the fatal shooting of 7-year-old Xavier Usanga in north St. Louis last Monday evening.

According to KSDK Usanga was shot and killed while playing outside of his Hyde Park home Monday, according to St. Louis Metro Police Cheif John Hayden. An 18-year-old man standing nearby was injured in the backyard of the Usangas’ home, in the 3500 block of North 14th Street, just after 5 p.m. Monday evening.

The suspect confessed to the shooting that killed 7-year-old Usanga.


But when they brought this confession and evidence to the St. Louis City’s circuit attorney’s office Kim Gardner threw it out.

Gardner said based on current evidence she was not able to determine who was responsible for the child’s death.

Again… The suspect confessed to the crime but that was not enough for this radical lunatic in the Circuit Attorney’s Office.

Democrats in charge since 1949

Rise in Murders Has St. Louis Debating Why

Jennifer M. Joyce, the city’s circuit attorney, or prosecutor, an elected position, complains that in St. Louis, the illegal possession of a gun is too often “a crime without a consequence,” making it difficult to stop confrontation from turning lethal.

At the same time, deeper social roots of violence such as addiction and unemployment continue unchecked. And city officials also cite what they call a “Ferguson effect,” an increase in crime last year as police officers were diverted to control protests after a white officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in the nearby suburb on Aug. 9.

Now, an overstretched department is forced to pick one neighborhood at a time to flood with officers. Last month, Chief Dotson even asked the state highway patrol if it could lend a dozen men to help watch downtown streets; the agency declined.

When the police discover a gun in a car with several passengers, including some with felony records, but no one admits to owning the gun, criminal charges are often impossible, Mr. Rosenfeld said.

In addition, according to a 2014 study by Mr. Rosenfeld and his colleagues, a majority of those who are convicted of illegally possessing a gun but not caught using it in a crime receive probation rather than jail time. Gun laws and enforcement are stiffer in many other cities.

Violence down in St. Louis but homicides hold steady. Are tougher penalties for gun crimes the answer?

But many challenges remain, official said.

The department is still down more than 130 officers.

Witnesses to crimes remain reluctant to come forward for fear of retaliation, making it difficult to close cases. And a lack of state laws to deter gun crimes has forced the police to turn to federal courts to indict some suspects.

On Tuesday, Edwards made a new pitch: He wants to see the mandatory minimum sentence for armed criminal action raised from its current ceiling of three years to at least 15 years for nonfatal shootings, and 25 years for fatal shootings.

You are a doofus.........if the democrats stopped releasing violent gun offenders, the gun crime rate would go down....normal people carrying guns doesn't increase the gun crime rate, you dumb ass.....

Yes, by definition they are law abiding gun owners until they decide not to be

Nope.......criminals are criminals from early on in their lives....guns do not turn people into criminals......

One of the dumbest things you have ever posted

Owning & carrying guns don't do shit unless the law allows us to shoot criminals. All that has happened is criminals can now easily carry a gun un-checked, shaken-down or arrested until they fire it.

Are you this stupid in real life, or just when you post.

When the police stop someone who has a gun, you dumb shit, they can run their name in their computer.....if they have convictions, warrants, or mental health holds, you dumb shit....they can arrest them if they have a gun....you moron.....

Dear Retard: It's illegal to stop someone to background check them in Missouri because they are carrying a gun! Police must wait until they see them use it to commit a crime first.

But can you show causation.
Looking at your graph it has been in a steady incline since 2004.
While it did jump after the law passed can you honestly blame open carry?

It'll be interesting to see if Texas has an increase in gun violence since pretty much everyone has a fire arm.

As long as there are people demanding training, those people should have some skin in the game.

There's already a tax on guns and ammunition under the Pittman-Robertson Act that should find that sort of thing.

That tax is for wildlife programs. You do not understand the difference?

Hey shitbird, when they stop the idiot for any other reason and run his name they can arrest them. The cops know who the gang members are you dumb ass and when they catch them for speeding, or drug dealing or robbery they find the gun and arrest them you doofus. The problem isnt catching the criminals you moron, the problem is idiots like you keep releasing them over and over again.

No you cant. I posted the reason their murder rates went up and it had nothing to so with normal people carrying guns. The democrats are
Releasing gun criminals over and over again.

I couple of years ago I was pulled over by a Texas State Trooper for a random paperwork check. I tell him I have a firearm in my pocket. He asks if I am legally allowed to CCW. I say yes. Never asked for my permit or the firearm. He asked me back to his car to go over the paperwork (pre-covid)...and there I sat next to him with a .380 in my pocket and he didn't worry one bit about it.

The Pittman-Robertson Act is designed to raise money to promote gun safety. You should have done more thorough research...

"It was also mandated that half of the money from each of the new taxes be used to educate and train hunters by the creation and maintenance of hunter safety classes and shooting/target ranges."

"Cannot read for comprehension"? ..lol. WTF does that even mean? You probably oughta stop with the insults.

Why stop with insults? It is because you know you are stupid and it hurts your widdle feewings?

Reading for comprehension is a skill taught in school.

The simple sentence: "The dog has spots" is very easy to read, but they are just words strung together. If you do not know what a dog is, or what is meant by "spots", you really did not understand what you read.

You missed the fact that no mention was made of your bill ever becoming law. You cannot read for comprehension.

Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training. Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs | CNN

A new pro-gun law in Texas that went into effect Wednesday allows most Texans who legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit or training, a measure that experts say will make it more challenging for law enforcement to protect the public from gun violence.

We should have left Texicans to Mexicans.
The war in Alamo to free that state was a big mistake.
That State and its population should be all kicked out of USA and send them all back to Mexico.
