@DuaneDoogan Should be better then but there will still be major event traffic after the show. You’ll be on an adrenaline high afterwards so walking is better than waiting for an Uber. 😁 Enjoy!!!

@byMorganWright Querying!

I'm pretty sure that if I got fired from my job but refused to leave & then sent a bunch of crazy people to bash in the windows, build a gallows to hang my coworker & smear poop on the walls, and then when I finally did leave, I took a mountain of nuclear secrets with me, refused to give them back, moved them all around my gilded golf motel including into my chandelier shitter & showed them off to my pals all while lying about having them in the first place, I wouldn't be allowed to tour the country saying I was never really fired and that I deserve to get my old job back.
But what do I know.

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer this is a start. I’d love to hear your ideas on how to reduce gun violence in this country.

BREAKING: The Texas House Select Committee on Community Safety has passed 8-5 the bill to raise to 21 the minimum age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle.

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman I’ve never said the word ban in our conversation. Part of the problem is that people don’t listen to each other. How can we solve this horrid problem without communication? What is your solution?

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman That article fits a nice narrative but the logic doesn’t really work. Half the people I know are on antidepressants or anti anxiety meds. Including myself. People try to find a million excuses. But it’s the guns.

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman I haven’t ignored it. That’s where the background checks, waiting periods, red flag laws, etc come in. We aren’t the only country with mental health issues. But we have by far the most gun violence. We can’t just let kids die while we wait to fix all the mental health issues.

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman None of the above. I’m actually a registered independent. I’ve voted red and blue. But I’m a parent. And I can’t fathom that half this county shrugs every time children are murdered. I don’t have all the answers. But something. Has. To. Change.

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman The NRA that blocks every attempt to stop these tragedies from happening over and over and over and over and over. The NRA that’s perfectly fine with children being murdered as long as they keep raking in the cash by perpetuating America’s gun fetish

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman The NRA? The NRA that bought how many congressmen? The NRA that uses fear mongering to brainwash millions of Americans into believing guns are more important than lives?

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman It’s not a ridiculous question and you pretty much just answered it for me. And I never said I wanted to disarm law abiding citizens. I said at least 3 times I wanted common sense reform. If people are law abiding why would they be against background checks, permits, training etc

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman Well I hope I never have to find out. But the odds of me getting killed at a shopping mall seem to be getting much higher. You didn’t answer my question. Are you okay with children being slaughtered?

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman Actually my situation is not very different than yours. It would take police at least 20 minutes to get here. But I’ve never had the fear to make me want a gun. I’m sorry that you do. I just want common sense reform. Don’t you? You’re ok w/children being killed?

[Catherine Baldau @CBaldau]

@Mule_Whisperer @GuntherEagleman No by all means if you’re that scared keep your self defense gun. Get a permit. Be trained how to use it. Pass a background check. Keep it safe in your possession. Common sense. All I want is some common sense to keep innocent children from getting their faces blown off.
