Retired Texas educator David R. Taylor reminds his readers that to be anti-abortion is not the same thing as being pro-life.
Those who are actually pro-life treasure each child after they are born by making sure they have good nutrition, good healthcare, good public schools, and a secure home.
In Texas, the anti-abortion forces lose interest in children as soon as they are born.
The Governor, Greg Abbott, the Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and the two senators demonstrated after the Uvalde massacre of School children that they were sorry as could be, offered lots of thoughts and prayers to bereaved families, but would do nothing whatever to restrict the sale or possession of military-grade weapons to civilians. The 18-year-old killer in Uvalde bought two AR15s on his 18th birthday. The AR15 is not for hunting. It’s for killing. Anyone who enables killers to have easy access to military-style weapons is not pro-life. They are pro-death.
Correct this info if It’s wrong, but I read the Uvalde mass murderer of children and teachers bought his AF-15s on the internet and had them delivered to him.
That source may have been wrong. The following CBS news report doesn’t clarify if the murderer bought the AR15s on the internet, or at a brick and mortar location.
“The 18-year-old who shot and killed 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, legally bought the weapon he used, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
“Salvador Ramos purchased two AR-style rifles at a local federal firearms licensee on May 17 and on May 20, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. He also purchased 375 rounds of ammunition on May 18, according to Texas DPS.
“In Texas, an individual between the ages of 18 and 21 can buy a long gun or rifle, such as an AR-15. With certain exceptions, an individual must be 21 to buy a handgun.”

However, these facts about Texas laws say it may be correct.
Can I buy a gun out of state? Can I sell to someone from a different state?
Sales Through FFL Dealers
“Federal law prohibits the sale of most firearms (including handguns) to people who live in a different state from where the sale is taking place.
“Dealers who have a Federal Firearms License (FFL) may sell rifles or shotguns to people who live in a different state, but only if this would comply with the laws of both the state where the sale is taking place and the state where the person lives. Texas law does not prohibit Texans from buying firearms in a different state.”

And this from Giffords . org says it is possible:
“The internet has made it increasingly easy for people who are prohibited from gun ownership to take advantage of the private sale loophole and purchase guns online.

Summary of Federal Law
Summary of State Law
Key Legislative Elements
In most states, people who are at an elevated risk of causing harm can purchase guns online, without a background check, from unlicensed sellers within the same state.
Federal law provides important limitations on the sale and transfer of guns across state lines, but every state should close the deadly private sale loophole and require that all gun sales—including online purchases—are subject to a comprehensive background check.

Anti-abortion is pro-control: to control women’s lives. Many of the same people then turn around and are unwilling to control men who shoot others. Do they get confused in Sunday school?
