    Texas Tech has developed a plan like this that has been used very successfully in Lubbock public schools. We want to use it across the state.https://twitter.com/dkrwilliams/status/997592683244900352 …

    Most every single school shooting has 2 very real common factors: young men & mental illness. Maybe the schools need to start doing some kind of mental evaluations of teenage boys. Maybe a questionnaire made up by mental professionals... just a thought @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz

        Exactly. The country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun control problem.

        Crazy people will act out with whatever they can get their hands on, if not guns, then knives, cars, airplanes. Makes sense to address the fools, not the tools.

        If you really want to do something about school shootings in Texas, call an emergency session of the Texas legislature now. We all know that the legislature does not reconvene until Jan. and you are hoping people will forget. WE WILL NOT FORGET. #SantaFeHighSchool

        Evil people use knives, vehicles, etc to accomplish their objective. Guns are not the issue! We as students didn't do evil things like that and we all had guns in our vehicles. The guns didn't change, what did?

        exactly, growing up in the 80-90's we had gun racks in our pick ups at the school in Texas.

        We have fed law called #IDEA, & there is child find provision that TX has ignored for past 14 http://years.So  now we are going screen teenage boys?Then what? It’s ok for leaders to say, “I don’t know what we’re gonna do, but I WILL make it a priority to seek a solution.”

        This issue is technically caused by the big pharma and push by psychiatry to make more people believe they have some mental illness. Some of them may already be unstable and the drugs enable them to coming the shooting.

        The reality is it’s not about guns or gun laws. It’s about mental health issues not being addressed and a godless attitude that some people have excepted.

        Texas is becoming the mass shooting capital of the world. This coincides with Texas having one of the highest gun ownership rates in the U.S. Shouldn't all these guns be making us safer?

        With all due respect, you have failed to protect Texans, Mr. Governor. And those around you have failed to protect Americans. Why do you fail to implement any gun restrictions before the shooting? Haven't the previous 21 shootings been enough for you?
