When the Parkland shooting happened, anti-2nd amendment extremists blamed the NRA.
Now, Michael Bloomberg's anti-2nd amendment extremist group is blaming Texas Gov. Abbot, because he is a staunch 2nd amendment advocate and he maintains close ties to the NRA.
I was listening to local liberal talk radio today and one of the guests said that the gun control wouldn't have stopped this shooting because the shooter took his father's firearms.
Bloomberg's group took out a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle, but nowhere did they ask why a father did not secure his guns properly in order to keep his deranged son from going on a shooting rampage.
Letter to Gov. Abbott: 'Why is our safety less important than the check you get from the NRA?'

Letter to Gov. Abbott: 'Why is our safety less important than the check you get from the NRA?'
A gun violence advocacy group asked Gov. Greg Abbott what he was going to do to stop mass shootings in Texas in a full-page advertisement that ran in Tuesday's Houston Chronicle.
"Our job is to be good students. Your job is too keep us safe. You have failed at your job," Everytown for Gun Safety wrote to Abbott.
The letter in the ad accuses Abbott of being "cozy with the NRA" and claims Texas gun laws have created an environment where mass shootings are on the rise.
Why is our safety less important than the check you get from the NRA? We know that common sense gun laws make us safer," the letter reads. "Since January 2009, Texas has experienced at least 20 mass shootings - more than any other state in the country. Do you think that a culture of guns everywhere and our lax gun laws might have something to do with it?"
The letter comes after 10 students and teachers were gunned down by accused shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, at Santa Fe High School.
Everytown for Gun Safety is an advocacy group aimed at ending gun violence and building safer communities.
the wake of the shooting, Abbott and other government officials have met with law enforcement leaders and superintendents on how Texas can avoid future mass shootings.
The meeting occurred in Austin on Tuesday, largely in private.
"Every single time there's a shooting, everyone wants to talk about what the problem is," Abbott said before the meeting. "By now we know what the problem is. The problem is that innocent people are being shot and that must be stopped."
