It sounds like he just had a rifle and a handgun, so by Texas standards he was hardly armed at all.

Mental illness and the inability to identify and treat it is the other huge issue.

10 people one day, 14 people (mostly small children) the next. Just another day in "the greatest country in the world."

Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame
