Another Shooting. In Texas?

A reader sent me this, noting: Fast food worker killed by a 12-year old with an AR-15 assault rifle. Texas, of course.

It certainly does seem that shooters using AR-15s are found disproportionately in states like Texas.  One might think that regions with the highest percentage of gun ownership would be the worst, but that’s not true; Texas is close to the middle of the pack.

What Texas is known for, on the other hand, is its blend of ignorance and hate, that is reflected all the way up to the state’s governor, who is almost constantly in the news for his assaults on schools, women’s rights, climate science, etc.
