New Texas gun laws make it easier to carry firearms in public spaces

So I looked up the laws

  • House Bill 1143 says a school district cannot prohibit licensed gun owners, including school employees, from storing a firearm or ammunition in a locked vehicle on a school parking lot -- provided they are not in plain view.

  • House Bill 2363 allows some foster homes to store firearms and ammunition in a safe and secure place for personal protection. Proper storage must be followed, the bill says, including putting firearms and ammunition together in the same locked locations. It also goes into effect on September 1.

Is there anything wrong with this? I'm reading these comments and it seems like people believe that the prior illegality of storing a gun locked in a car was the thing that was preventing school shootings. Jesus Christ people, this law is allowing safe storage in a locked car of licensed owners. If someone wanted to commit a mass shooting it sure as shit wasn't these being illegal before that was stopping them.
