Governor Abbot of Texas should put out a statement something to the effect of this:
Due to the higher than normal amount of mass shootings lately I am urging every citizen who is legally allowed to carry a weapon to please make sure you do so at all times. I strongly feel that the number of these shootings will go down and the amount of people shot per incident will go down with many more trained legal weapon carriers ready to stop a threat in our state. In addition, we will suspend any fees for anyone who can pass a background check and want's to start carrying until further notice. We will also suspend fees for CCW permit renewals until further notice. We will also give free training classes in defensive weapons use to anyone who requests it and has passed any required background checks to be able to legally purchase a gun. Finally we will require all psychiatrist's and other mental health professional's to submit the name of anyone they are prescribing anti depressant type drugs to the state. That list will be kept confidential and will be only reviewed during a background check to either purchase a weapon or to get a CCW permit. Anyone who's name appears on the list will need the prescribing physician to sign off before the CCW permit will be issued or the gun purchase will be finalized.
This would be great for some governor to start. Abbot would be good, maybe even DeSantis here in Florida would do something like this. Hopefully other Republican governors would follow along. Maybe if He started receiving letters with this suggestion he might think about doing something like it.
