As I have said before, tragedies like this would not happen if we made tougher for people to get cell phones. The NCPA (National Cell Phone Association) has blood on its hands for not supporting legislation that would call for common sense laws such as a waiting period to buy a cell phone, a battery that would only allow a cell phone to last for nine minutes or less and background checks for private parties selling cell phones to each other.
I'd be curious to know more about this guy. In the past, a Texan could probably be assumed to be a good ole boy, taught from a young age how to respect guns by his daddy. But today, Texas' landscape has changed, just as Oregon's has. A big influx of folks that aren't the old Texas conservatives is bringing the anti-gun crap into that state as well - and the Houston area is certainly one under that changing influence. Just Google their Rep - Sheila Jackson Lee - she's a fine example of what you can find in Houston. My guess - he's a white, suburban home-boy wannabe that got a hold of a gun for the first time and decided to post his gangsta shot on the FB and GangstaGram. Sad but remarkably stupid.
Close, but not 100% correct. His name was Deleon Alonzo Smith.I'd be curious to know more about this guy.

And the muzzle of the gun most likely pressed firmly to his head.one finger on the trigger, one finger on the 'camera'...
Is it wrong to laugh?
