Austin as America's Only Safe Place (Debunked)

Tim jokingly declares Austin the one safe place in America, then immediately Googles it live and finds recent local shootings undercutting the joke.
- Tim outlines the absurd logic of never leaving your house: homeschool your kids, use delivery services, and accept that delivery workers will be killed bringing you nachos.
- Everything should require airport-style checkpoints and metal detectors; nobody should ever wear shoes.
- The recent shooting was 90 miles west of San Antonio, about three hours away—far enough to not count as Austin's problem.
- Half of the deadliest U.S. shootings occurred in Texas, undermining the entire Austin safety premise.
- Tim notes the contradiction: supposedly liberal gun-law areas post signs prohibiting guns indoors, confusing someone carrying in North Carolina who thought those same rules applied everywhere.
- Why can't someone bring their gun to the opera, given the supposed gun freedoms in these states?
