Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, one of the 19 students killed in the May mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas, always wore green, high-top Converse sneakers.

But the 10-year-old left behind more than just a pair of sneakers. There are memories of a sweet, ambitious girl who dreamed of being a marine biologist. There is devastation in the family and community that knew her. And there are pointed calls from those closest to her, insisting that leaders in Texas and beyond finally do something about the gun violence epidemic plaguing children in the US, who are more likely to die from gunfire than active-duty police and military members combined.

Texas school shooting: Uvalde-born actor Matthew McConaughey calls for more gun control in poignant White House speechGun owner McConaughey seemed to fight back tears and choke up, as he talked about the victims - and told Americans that over gun control legislation, it was time to take 'a look in the mirror'. Ahhh a Hollywood celebrity - that’ll sort it out. We are a sick Country when it comes to guns. They let that Uvalde shooting happen for nearly an hour on purpose. They sacrificed some kids to tighten the laws. There’s no reason to wait as long as they did and now some of the UPD aren’t cooperating with investigators.
