I am a lifelong sportsman. I grew up in Texas, hunting with my dad.
I’m not sure if I learned how to ride a bike or shoot a gun first, but
it was close either way. In addition to creating lifelong memories
shooting and hunting with my father, I was educated on gun safety from
a very early age. I was taught well, and became a very responsible gun
owner and enjoyed sport shooting and hunting into my adult years.
But then something started to change. I don’t quite know what
happened; it just seemed that firearms started becoming faster, more
powerful and more plentiful. Mass shootings became more common and
much deadlier.
Then, in 2012, Sandy Hook happened.
I had recently become a father, and like every other father I hugged
my kid just a little tighter that night. Then I walked into the living
room and started to cry. All those children, not much older than my
daughter, murdered. Humans have a unique capacity for being truly
awful to each other, but a more senseless tragedy cannot be imagined.
It’s not that I’m opposed to gun ownership or have become anti-gun. I
just could not in good conscience be any part of an industry that
refuses to take basic common sense measures to address the problem we
now face today.
That night, I called a few of my friends who I knew to be responsible
gun owners and gave away the guns I owned.
I’m not trying to advocate that we take guns away. In fact, I want my
guns back. But I was raised to be a responsible gun owner and until we
can pass common sense gun laws, I just don’t feel responsible in
owning a gun.

Someone who associates criminal use of a firearm, homicide, with
the legal use, hunting, self protection, target practice and THEN
comes to the conclusion that 'common sense gun laws' is a wolf in
sheep's clothing.
Mr. Thompson is neither a hunter, shooter or even a firearm owner
(as per his own statement about giving away his guns).
Someone that jumps on the gun grabber band wagon lacks 'common
sense' and workable understanding of the gun grabber's purpose in
life, which is the complete ban on firearm ownerhip.

I would consider living. The rest of the state, maybe excluding San
Antonio, is a completely benighted backwater. The big problem with
Texas is Texans.

And probably not taught at all about safety pertaining to fake guns.

probably a fabricated piece of propaganda designed to bolster the lie
that "most gun owners support common sense gun laws."

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Austin. It figures. If ever ther was a need for a nuclear explosion in
Texas, that is where it should be.
