New Texas laws loosening gun control draw outrage from advocates after Odessa shooting.
, new laws go into effect Sunday in the Lone Star State that loosen gun restrictions — drawing the outrage of gun control advocates.
“Four of the deadliest mass shootings in the last decade have taken place in Texas,” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, a national group working to end gun violence, told NBC News. “Instead of following other states' lead and passing life-saving legislation, like background checks and strong red flag laws, Texas’ governor and legislature have made even more lax gun laws,” she said.
“The problem with the ‘good guy with a gun’ myth is that the bad guy always shoots first,” Chipman said. And with the type of weapons available to civilians, Chipman noted, people can do significant damage within a matter of seconds.where 10 people died and more than two dozen were injured. Police were able to shoot and kill the gunman just about 30 seconds after he started firing, but that didn’t stop him from taking innocent lives.
