By now, you're aware that on Sunday afternoon, a deranged woman brought her young son and an AR-15 into Joel Osteen's Lakewood megachurch and opened fire. After the smoke cleared, the shooter, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, had been killed by two off-duty officers. A 57-year-old man had taken a round in the leg; he was treated at a medical facility and released. And Moreno's seven-year-old son had been shot in the head. The boy remains in critical condition with a poor prognosis.
It's unclear whether Moreno herself shot her child, but then, there are a lot of confusing details still up in the air about this case. The woman had suffered from schizophrenia and had multiple past arrests, and yet, mainstream news sources are reporting that she was able to buy guns legally. For example, CNN stated, "The shooter used an AR-15 with a 'Palestine' sticker on it during the attack, which she legally purchased in December, police said. She also had a .22 caliber weapon in her bag that was not used, according to a federal law enforcement source."
In a Facebook post, Moreno's former mother-in-law, Walli Carranza, blamed lax Texas gun laws for the tragedy — a claim other news sites took the opportunity to quote.
"The fault lies in a child protective services of Montgomery County and Harris County that refused to remove custody from a woman with known mental illness that was not being treated and with the state of Texas for not having strong red flag laws that would have prevented her from owning or possessing a gun," wrote Carranza. "Let it be clear that the second amendment stops where the first amendment right to life begins and it's time to remove from the US Constitution any protection for gun ownership. [sic]"

“the first amendment right to life begins”
There is no First Amendment “right to life”.
Whether Moreno was transgender and truly considered herself a man is another point of contention.
The Houston PD looked into the matter and determined that she had always used female pronouns, but then, she also sometimes went by the name Jeffery or Jeffry.
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
RE: “with the state of Texas for not having strong red flag laws.”
No.
Red flag means all women who are mad at an ex or a two timing current boyfriend or husband will send police.
Now added to being “swatted.”
No sex toys?
p
Multiple times.
This was really a man? I am sorry but I get confused by the media when they use the term, “transgender.”
“the second amendment stops where the first amendment right to life begins...”
Walli Carranza, you are obviously ignorant of what the Constitution says.
That is correct. It's worth noting that the preamble to the Declaration of Independence asserts that all men have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It may not be an amendment, but the concept is part of the bedrock of the founding of this nation.
Checks all the boxes, Tranny, illegal, known wolf, brainwashed to hate “normies”, loves hamas, media lockdown, encourages copy-cats, rabbit-holed, apologists deployed, becomes the real victim...the only thing left is to install a statue and create “tranny-psycho mass-murderer month.”
She and those news sites cite Texas' lack of Red Flag laws but this person was diagnosed as schizophrenic according to the article. After such a diagnosis someone, such as a mother-in-law, could have had Moreno adjudicated mentally incompetent in a court of law. That would have automatically put Moreno on NICS as prohibited to own or purchase firearms.
Walli Carranza failed to do that. The psychiatrist who diagnosed Moreno failed to do that. If other adult family members exist then they failed to do that.
A Jewish Rabbi ignorant of the 2nd Amendment? Clueless
Still another roadblock to Moreno obtaining a legal firearm is the fact that she is not a U.S. citizen. She was born in El Salvador,
The transgender Latin illegal alien with a long criminal record and “Free Palestine” on his/her gun.
He’s referring to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Is PJ media ignoring the trannie aspect of the story?
