Opinion | HayesBrown: On basically every issue of national importance, Texas Gov. Abbott is a poster child for right-wing ideals. - MSNBCDaily
In dealing with the pandemic, Texas was one of the first states to rush to reopen again in March, allowing nonessential businesses to operate at 100 percent capacity. Abbottand then followed that up with an executive order banning state, county and local government entities from mandating masks. Days later, Abbott signed into law a ban on all abortions starting six weeks after a woman has missed her period.
Abbott is also prepared to sign a bill that would make carrying guns much easier. House Bill 1927 would make it so that anyone legally able to possess a handgun could do so in public beginning in September without the current background checks, safety classes or demonstrations of shooting proficiency. Is the state prepared to handle a potential surge of untrained Texans with sidearms strapped to their hips at all times? That's exactly the kind of question Abbott is uninterested in answering.
