How many shootings will it take before people finally realize the problem is THE GUNS???

@AlliFlowers @ai6yr I was going to come up with a list of “recreational” activities that wouldn’t result in killing kids at a baseball game. But the list is… literally everything except GUNS.
@mls14 @AlliFlowers @ai6yr Keep in mind it's Texas...
@W6KME I have a friend in Guam. He has been talking about moving to Texas for years, and is still intent on it. I suggested almost anywhere but Texas.
There may be a cultural diaspora behind the motivation to come to Texas. From https://www.nhpialliance.org/our-communities "States with some of the largest NHPI populations include:
California (361,000)
Washington (94,000)
Texas (73,000)
Florida (55,080)
New York (52,500)
Utah (48,370)"
In the late 90s, I was really surprised to learn there is a relatively large Tongan community in the Dallas area so out of curiosity, I looked at the demographics. Aside from the West Coast, you'd be more likely to find a guamanian/chamorro community in Texas. https://zipatlas.com/us/city-comparison/largest-guamanian-chamorro-community.htm
@AlliFlowers @arclight It's hard to remember that Texas actually has a sizeable liberal majority.
@AlliFlowers @arclight It says a lot about gerrymandering and fixed elections too.
@AlliFlowers @arclight 1 person, 1 vote. It's so simple. Representative Government was always too easy to manipulate unfairly.
