    The reason I pushed for & signed open carry & campus carry wasn’t for hunting or sport, it was to ensure Texans can DEFEND themselves. I will never sign a law that limits self defense. My school safety plan can make schools safer w/o infringing #2A rights. #txlege #tcot #gunspic.twitter.com/S9VVQcaVXq

        Greg's plan. Plywood all the doors so kids can't exit quickly, arm teachers who will probably (rightfully) panic during a school shooting and shoot themselves and students, give assault rifles to mentally ill people, stand back and enjoy the fire works. Ask for more guns.

        1. Many teachers already know how to shoot (e.g. veterans). 2. No such thing as assault rifles. 3. Gun-free zones are soft targets. #2A

        The NRA line of "no such things as assault rifle", AR type weapons have no other use other than killing a lot of people quickly. Anyone that feels that they need one for defense falls into the category of crazy people you don't want owning one.

        An AR style rifle is a semi automatic rifle, it fires as fast as a handgun. You really don't know anything about firearms or you'd know that the weapons like the M4 is banned. Even though it's Unconstitutional but people don't understand the Constitution or their rights.

        The inventor of the AR-15 said it's a military weapon and he's appalled that anyone can buy one. Since he designed it, maybe he knows a few things about why it's inappropriate for civilians.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/family-ar-15-inventor-speaks-out-n593356 …

        His **children.** They know what he said about his invention and they certainly know more about his beliefs than you do. This is special pleading to a ridiculous degree.

        When the inventor invented the M16 which is the original. Civilians could still buy fully automatic weapons, so once again you're wrong. Good try though.

        Great plan. There have been at least 20 mass shootings in Texas since 2009 - more than any other state. Texas leads the nation in the number of firearms lost or stolen each year. And Texas leads the nation in the number of children killed or injured each year by guns. #txlege https://twitter.com/gregabbott_tx/status/1011258020179922945 …

        I took a class on Texas School Law. The law says that students have rights, too. One of them is that they have a right to be in a safe, learning environment. Students cannot learn in a hostile environment. Having guns in the classroom creates a hostile environment.

        You're actually wrong about that. It's not a hostile environment if a child knows that is a tool to keep them safe.

        You're actually wrong about that. It's a hostile environment because crazy or dangerous people are not prevented from having guns on campus.

        If good people are all over campus with a gun, that crazy person will be stopped before it becomes an issue. Again good try.

        Robert Adkins, you are not an education expert. The research shows kids do not learn in a hostile environment. The presence or knowledge of guns in the classroom changes the environment.

        No public outcry when they areleft in trucks too die, nor the thousands each month for human trafficking. Those separatedwere only the ones who did not go througha LAWFULport of entry. There are consequences for breaking laws.
