I'm EMBARRASSED: Texas #2 in nation for new gun purchases, behind CALIFORNIA. Let's pick up the pace Texans. @NRA http://blog.chron.com/

He must be happy now. Texas leads the nation in gun deaths.

Man, wish the Gov. hadn’t said that as none of these gun deaths would’ve happened. Paul, you’ve convinced me with this brilliant and completely logical comment.

Gotta love the @NRA at the end of the tweet.

Why would he be happy? What an incredibly stupid thing to say

Yeah, that's really not the best look. Other things have aged better.

He was "embarassed" by being number 2 behind California. He assumedly is happy now that Texas leads the nation in gun purchases, even though there are 10 million more people in California.

Meanwhile, California leads the nation in gun safety.

Using CA.gov stats.

I see you’re back to guns as Weds looms.

Has anyone heard anymore about the Epstein list? Seems like that story got ghosted.

Nice try, but you specifically mentioned gun deaths when you said he must be happy. If you're going to say something as distasteful as you did, it's not a good look to try to deflect and double down. The day after a mass shooting you say the Gov of Texas must be happy? Solid look there, Paul.

Okay, getting back to what I think was pretty clearly Paul's point...

Since encouraging Texas to purchase more guns than anyone else so they can become the #1 state in gun ownership, they have now become the #1 state in gun deaths. How about addressing that??

"Hope you're happy" is an often-used figure of speech after self inflicted consequence. If someone is supportive or insistent of doing things a certain way and then things predictively go incredibly wrong, you'll often hear someone say "Hope they're happy." You don't have to agree with his point, but it's not as if he didn't clearly make it. Can you at least address what his point actually was??

This guy in Allen apparently was into Nazi stuff in a big way. (assuming this is all about him, which it appears to be from the hand tattoo.)
