Except that it isn't. Texas has relaxed gun laws which Abbott seems to be proud of. Do those relaxed gun laws make it easier to commit mass shootings? It is certainly possible and might even be probable. You can disagree with the connection but its hardly as black and white as you make it seem with the statement "blatant lie"....

Just to point out..... They relaxed gun laws in 2019. They changed it so people could carry firearms in church (if the church allowed it) and passed constitutional carry in 2021.
However in the same time they voted to increase school marshalls, fund more mental health counselors in schools, 100 million to make schools more secure, created panel to study kids mental health, created safety panel, created domestic terrorism task force, executive order to improve reporting of suspicious activity, LEO training, and made it a state jailable felony to lie on your background check form when trying to buy a gun
And just to clear things up from your article...
"Texans have already been able to carry rifles without a license."
I guess you are right though. I can imagine before that law was changed people would plan on murdering innocent people and kids but when they realized it was illegal to carry a firearm they changed their mind.
