Gov. Abbott, show real leadership on gun violence | Opinion

Gov. Greg Abbott speaks during a press conference about the Robb Elementary School shooting at Uvalde High School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 27, 2022.In the aftermath of the mass murder of schoolchildren in Uvalde, Gov. Greg Abbott this week issued a call for special legislative committees to compile recommendations on school safety, mental health, social media, police training and firearm safety.

It’s not as though the governor has been shy before about telling us what he wants. He’s used the office’s bully pulpit to push forward property tax reform and a broad range of other state issues. And last year, he openly supported and signed into law a bill that allows Texans to carry handguns without a license or training despite polling showing that a majority of Texas voters don’t favor permitless carry.

OCAugustinians join me in praying a rosary for my family (Langan). We have been suffering through many infirmities and spiritual afflictions. I ask this of you in the name of Jesus Christ

He doesn’t have the cojones.

He can't do it. If he knew how, his fear of the radical right would petrify him.

Ya know what kills more Americans? Fentanyl, yet Biden & his cronies are letting people carry it across our borders in masses! And no one cares!

The only leadership he could provide is to the nearest exit in case of a shooter.

This will go on deaf ears. Energy should be spent on changing governors. Can’t you see that after all that has happened? BetoORourke

Wrong.

Never going to happen he is a pawn in a much bigger game

Y’all should take this comedy act on the road!

That’s really funny! I like reading these comedic pieces about Abbott providing leadership.😂

ffs Spend the $1.1 Billion on trained, full time personnel to serve as deterrents, and, at worst, protectors for every campus in the state. $1.25 per child, per school day. GovAbbott

It's impossible when you're bought and paid for by the gun lobby.

Abbott IS NOT CAPABLE OF LEADERSHIP

He can’t because he’s not a leader

since you boys endorse and fund that hypocrite and his guns-for-all-policy,,,, just reading this tweet raises my blood pressure.

STOP. NO

The “conservative” Dallas Morning News editorial board strikes again. Children continue to be killed. The DMN Ed board continues to hold water for Republicans who refuse to act and Abbott, who explicitly has made the situation worse. How disgraceful DMNOpinion.

Delusional to think Abbot cares about the slaughter of school children more than he cares about his political career. Uvalde is not the first mass attack and he has done nothing. He is owned by the likes of the NRA.

Did you know? In 2019, rifles were used in a whopping 364 homicides Knives - 1,476 homicides, over 3x as many as rifles Hands/feet/fists - 600 homicides, also more than rifles Handguns - 6,365 homicides. Over 17x as many as rifles But let’s ban AR15’s. That makes sense.

What a trash take. Setting it up where insane men can purchase an assault weapon minutes before they massacre small children IS NOT “real leadership.”

He has to get permission from his NRA overseers first

It is impossible for Tx to ensure a special investigation. The School chief refused to cooperate. WHY was he in charge, and not the City police? Boarder Patrol were paid with funds allocated for mental health,why? sorry I do not trust Govabbott_TEXAS

Is this a JOKE headline. Please remove lips off his 🍑

Build more prisons and crack down on urban crime. Thats where the overwhelming majority of gun violence is.

Greg Abbott was installed as Texas Governor by Oil and Gun lobbies precisely because he will act only in their interest. Once you acknowledge that, you can always predict his moves.

But then he would have to admit he was wrong.

You may as well demand that my cat learn to knit. He is incapable.

It is an Opinion piece and you can have it your way… but it is a pretty stupid opinion

GregAbbott_TX is nothing more than a performance actor. Never a leader. Who can be proud of him

GovAbbott cannot show leadership on anything. He is too far into his big donors. He gets to make no decisions because he is owned by Political Contributions. He is corrupted and too far gone. He is a mere puppet. VoteforBeto

Abbott doesn’t know the meaning of leadership.
