Any thoughts on why most horrific shootings (not all but most) occur in states with lax gun control?

They only test rockets at space X. Houston, Austin, & Dallas all have major industrial complexes that house companies such as Texas instruments, AT&T, and Sysco just to name a few. Looks like you might be mistaken about Texas, but that's OK we are used to out of state morons.

@AlphaCuckTX Nice job making shit up. There’s at least half a dozen other rocket testing facilities around the country including Florida, Maryland, and Hawaii. And, SpaceX is a load of fucking garbage. Military funded hack science. Looks like you might be mistaken about Texas, but that’s ok, we’re used to Texan morons.

You must live in a sad place. Full of snow flakes, liberal democrats, immigrants and dreamers. I'd say it was New Jersey, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

@AlphaCuckTX Funny coming from a conservative snowflake who gets offended by everyone who isn’t a neocon.

You can’t be a liberal and a democrat at the same time, it’s one or the other.

There’s a fair number of immigrants here, but over 85% are legal.

So no, I don’t live in a sad place. And a Texan should never call someone else’s home sad. You live in an enormously insecure stronghold of the Lost Cause, full of ideologues who don’t care about how bad their lives are so long as it’s their team in power.

I understand now. You're from California.

@BinkyTinkles I wouldn't want to live in Texas just specifically for the state board of education alone:

[quote]No matter where you live, if your children go to public schools, the textbooks they use were very possibly written under Texas influence. If they graduated with a reflexive suspicion of the concept of separation of church and state and an unexpected interest in the contributions of the National Rifle Association to American history, you know who to blame.[/quote]


[quote]Ever since the 1960s, the selection of schoolbooks in Texas has been a target for the religious right, which worried that schoolchildren were being indoctrinated in godless secularism, and political conservatives who felt that their kids were being given way too much propaganda about the positive aspects of the federal government. Mel Gabler, an oil company clerk, and his wife, Norma, who began their textbook crusade at their kitchen table, were the leaders of the first wave. They brought their supporters to State Board of Education meetings, unrolling their “scroll of shame,” which listed objections they had to the content of the current reading material. At times, the scroll was fifty-four feet long. Products of the Texas school system have the Gablers to thank for the fact that at one point the New Deal was axed from the timeline of significant events in American history.[/quote]
