There's been, what? Two trans shooters total? Three?
We have like three shootings a week in this country.

Of course the gun was an AR-15...

It's just a coincidence that 99% of the mass shooters use the same gun.

"Court records revealed Monday that the woman allegedly behind a shooting at Joel Osteen's megachurch in Houston was Genesse Moreno, a 36-year-old who had a string of previous arrests that included assault, drug, and weapons charges.

Moreno, who records show previously identified as Jeffrey Escalante, according to The Houston Chronicle, was shot dead by two off-duty law enforcement officers after she entered Lakewood Church with an AR-15-style rifle during a service on Sunday afternoon, authorities said. "

Criminal that was still able to get an AR-15 in Greg Abbott's Texas.

The gun had "Free Palestine" written on it, law enforcement sources told CNN and ABC News"though investigators are still probing whether Moreno was motivated politically to carry out the shooting or instead can be classified as mentally disturbed.

Both.

I'm genuinely curious what these shooters hope to accomplish at this point. It should be pretty clear by now that no one in this country is the least bit shocked by any number of murders or killings.

They say this person has a a long criminal history. How did they obtain the gun? Were they legally allowed to have one? Did some "responsible gun owner" purchase it for them or leave it laying around where it was easy to steal?

NRA Members, Conservatives, and Republicans all agree:
The shooters should have unfettered, unrestricted access to firearms.
It's their Second Amendment Right, and that is what matters most.

Oh that rabbit hole. Where trans is treated as a mental illness. Even in Texas they require reporting of involuntary mental health hospitalizations for adults and juveniles which gets sent to NICS.

To incarceration mechanism already exists in red states. You just have to agree with them that trans people are mentally ill and should be put in institutions.

Texas has gutted its public health system while making guns as easily available as possible.

This is what Moreno's former MIL had to say:

Shooter's former mother-in-law says system failed her grandson (the shooter's 7-year-old son who was shot in the head)

Moreno's former mother-in-law, Rabbi Walli Carranza, told KHOU11 that they asked for help many times for Moreno who she says has "a particular kind of schizophrenia that caused her to become violent."

"She threatened her husband, my own son, and we still couldn't get intervention," Ms Carranza said. "We asked for help from CPS. ... We asked for help from police and received it many times but she was still allowed to own guns."

No.

If Republicans think trans people have a high propensity for mental illness and mass shootings, they should stop selling guns to trans people immediately. Giving it time will, per Republican orthodoxy, allow countless innocent people to die. Republicans should also state which other groups of people they think share similar traits and stop selling guns to those people as well. Unless they aren't actually pro-life.

They are pro-fetus. After you are done being a fetus they could care less about you.

Once you find your way out of the womb the rest is on you.

Better get that fetus a JR-15 for the baby shower if it lives in Texas. It's gonna need it.

Republicans like it when their enemies kill people.

Just look at the comments here. They're overjoyed by this killer's demographics, just like Chicago.

Republicans even decided she is transgender because they know transgender people are just waiting to kill.

Transgender people don't need to be disarmed.
Transgender people need to be sent to camps.

No I don't. There are several pro-gun states controlled 100% by Republicans. They don't need a single Democrat or leftist to restrict gun rights for people they believe are violent psychopaths. Why won't they do it?
