    Greg Abbott Retweeted Robin Lennon

    Good question Robin & I agree with your conclusion. So does Texas law. It grants exceptions for children to use firearms to defend themselves and property. My plan doesn’t change that. My plan does nothing to disarm a Texan of any age from defending themselves. #tcot #txlegehttps://twitter.com/kwteaparty/status/1004581106040139777 …

    What about cases where ⬇️17 yo trained in use of weapons, home alone, hid from burglars B&E holding weapon for defense, shot when they opened door w/weapon? Such cases are very different from taking weapons to harm others. Parents/child should not be prosecuted for this. https://twitter.com/gregabbott_tx/status/1004370868938706944 …

        What is current TX law regarding storage/locking of firearms with children in the home?

        Close gun show loopholes and support nationwide backgrounds checks. Turning schools into armed camps is the opposite of a solution. Teachers are not security guards. They are already social workers, babysitters, counselors and nutritionists. Not paid enough.

        Not everyone should have a gun you piece of shit. Nutcases no matter the age shouldn’t be allowed to be near guns. It’s not hard to understand.

        And i look forward to you defining who is a “nutcase,” Nick. And oh by the way how you can legislate said “nutcases” to not be allowed near guns.

        This sounds like a good plan, Governor. Also, any provision that would include mandatory lock up of weapons at home (as some are demanding) would render a self-defense weapon useless in this case. If parents have children, they must use common sense.

        Common sense says your child is ten times more likely to use that gun to kill themselves than to stop a home invasion.

        Or shooting up their school like the 17 year old shooter in Santa Fe. Glad to know you haven't done jacksh*t Gregory.

        Train your kids on Self-Defense-they may save lives-like this good boy did. Our ancestors knew how at this age, & younger, too. Today is more dangerous to Our Children-BC of "politicians", who "BRING-IN THE ENEMY-FOR VOTES."

        For every kid who protects themselves like this multiple more kids use that gun to commit suicide.
