Texan man shoots his girlfriend for having an abortion

Way to go Texas! Ban abortions but don’t ban guns.
That’s clearly a win for Texas on all counts.

People are going to have abortions. People are going to own guns. One does not necessarily lead to the other. Chances are anyone prone to killing a girlfriend would do it eventually regardless of the timing here. It is not causal. It's mental impairment.

Why is someone suffering from mental impairment allowed to have a gun? @SW-User

Why are criminals in possession of guns @AbbySvenz? Who says he legally had the gun? Anyone that wants to can get a gun. Sane or otherwise.

Most guns used in mass shootings were legally purchased by their user @SW-User

@AbbySvenz Mass shootings are not accountabke for all deaths. I would hazard a guess not accountable for even most. I also suspect there are way more legal gun owners that never shoot a person than those that do. People kill. Some use guns to accomplish that. Outlawing guns woukd not stop killing. What's next then. Outlawing knives? We may need more in depth background checks, but no banning of any weapon will prevent its use.

No what is next is making sure people who are mentally unstable are not able to purchase firearms. @SW-User

How do [i][u]you[/u][/i] propose to do that @AbbySvenz?

By voting for sensible lawmakers who will write and pass sensible laws? @SW-User

What particular law do you think would accomplish your goal @AbbySvenz?
