Gun Violence in Texas: Frustration and Anger Grow as Leaders Fail to Act.
TL;DR
Guns are deeply ingrained in towns like Allen, Texas, where they are handed down from generation to generation and are as much a part of an individual’s identity as any other cultural touchstone. Despite being the site of a mass shooting in 2019 and another one on Sunday, the town remains solidly conservative and resistant to gun control measures. The latest mass killing won’t change anything, according to former city council member Lauren Doherty, who lost her seat after voting against a gun range construction.
