More good, responsible open carry gun ownership and use - only two killed, including child

ARLINGTON, TX — You know it had to happen sooner or later: A member of Open Carry Texas just murdered some half of her family. Do you feel a bit of that kind of warm glow of comforting smug? A bit of the old and golden “I told you so” schadenfreude flowing through the veins like intellectual and moral heroin? It’s okay…you’re allowed it. Feel better? And now…that moment is passed. Because an innocent girl is dead, brutally murdered at the hands of her psychotic, gun-fetishizing stepmother.

Ain't gundamentalism just grand？

Also, the "child" was 20. **Disclaimer: The story is still awful, but my fair state is full of far more recent gut-twisting stories of idiotic "good guys with guns."

Let's be honest, you live in this state too. We can find a crazy gun owner news story dated within the last 24 hours if we open the paper this morning.
