A woman prays at the Governor's Mansion following the mass shooting in Uvalde. Senate Democrats have called on Gov. Greg Abbott to hold a special session to address gun safety.We offer our deepest condolences to the families and community who lost precious loved ones in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School last week. Losing innocent young children and their teachers is incomprehensible.
• Implement “red flag” laws to allow the temporary removal of firearms from those who are an imminent danger to themselves or others.• Regulate civilian ownership of high capacity magazines.In Sutherland Springs, 26 people died. At Santa Fe High School, 10 people died. In El Paso, 23 people died at a Walmart. Seven people died in Midland-Odessa. After each of these mass killings, the same politicians have held press conferences and roundtables promising things would change.
“Thoughts and prayers” are not enough. Lamenting the fact that “evil” walks among us is not enough. Laying the blame at the feet of a broken mental health care system — that state leaders continue to underfund severely — is not enough.We need evidence-based, commonsense gun safety laws. Without a doubt, if at least some of the measures noted above had been passed since 2018, many lives could have been saved.
We are not trying to take away Second Amendment rights. Instead, we are asking for reasonable laws or restrictions that will create a safer Texas for all of us. Taking action requires bravery. The proposed solutions are not new. We cannot wait for another tragedy to occur. Texas has the power to protect its people; it is time we do so.
