Uvalde families are getting involved in local and statewide politics after demands for gun law reform were ignored by Gov. Greg Abbott. | SergioMarBel

Jazmin Cazares, the sister of 9-year-old Robb Elementary School shooting victim Jacklyn Cazares, marches with other community members in Uvalde on July 10.“I come from a small town, and you know, it had issues — bad roads, we were always the last to get anything,” Cazares said. “I always said when I grow up, I want to change things. Then afterwards, never thought about it.

Cazares is now one of many parents in Uvalde who have gotten political after they said lawmakers ignored their pleas for change.Fueled by Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision “To me, it doesn’t seem like he cares,” Cazares said. “We are demanding accountability, and he’s just not doing anything.” “The thing about Hispanic moms is you may not know much about our culture, because we are often quiet or treated invisible, or ignored,” Villescaz said. “But you just don’t mess with our kids.”Pete Arredondo, the disgraced chief of police for Uvalde schools, ended up resigning from his position as a City Council member in July.“The only woman, the only mujer, the only madre on the City Council in Uvalde,” Villescaz said.

In a statement to The Texas Newsroom, Abbott’s spokesperson Renae Eze said, “Governor Abbott continues to work on solutions focused on the root of the problem: mental health.”A sign of Mothers Against Greg Abbott outside a home in East Dallas.

BetoORourke KUT It’s not the guns fault it’s the guy who pulled the trigger and those that did not go in to stop it.

KUT

BetoORourke KUT It’s not “gun violence” it’s violence. The gun was just their tool. They have used other tools as well (see: OKC Bombing)

KUT Defund NPR

BetoORourke KUT What happened in uvalde wasn’t the governors fault. It was the inability of the uvalde ISD to do nothing to safeguard that school. It was the responsibility of the uvalde police department to act in the situation and they failed to do so. Abbott doesn’t run the city of uvalde

KUT Standing with Uvalde, Abbott and his cronies could care less.

KUT The Democratic party

KUT They should be demanding the police department be held accountable for their lack of action during this event.

KUT And still he's leading in polls. Texans hate immigrants more than they love students

KUT 😳University of North TEXAS Just Had a JOB FAIR- Sept 2022 & ONE of their OWN Students was DENIED Entrance Student Tried To Attend Job Fair but WAS ARRESTED For Trespassing, on the OPEN CAMPUS Even though he had his STUDENT ID via YouTube

KUT 😳University of TEXAS in AUSTIN Just Had a JOB FAIR- Sept 2022 & ONE of their OWN Students was DENIED Entrance Student Tried To Attend Job Fair but WAS ARRESTED For Trespassing, on the OPEN CAMPUS Even though he had his STUDENT ID via YouTube

BetoORourke KUT But BetoORourke didn’t fight he advocated for defunding the police. Remember that!

BetoORourke KUT Robert Frances supports illegal immigration which supports drug and sexual traffickers. Support Robert Francis and support drugs and sex traffickers Day 23 +154 will die today of fentanyl deaths: 3,542 Mass shooting equivalent: 885

KUT NPR should change its name to DNC.

KUT They’re demanding that we adopt their stupid views. No.

BetoORourke KUT Ole liberal left NPR!

BetoORourke KUT

KUT do what only serves your bidding tell lies about things you have no clue about that's why you will not be governor you don't have any clue what people want

KUT AR-15 style rifle was used by 18 yr old in Uvalde & Buffalo, bought legally. AR 15, a lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on Colt AR-15; only purpose for killing people. Do we really need assault weapons on our streets? VoteBlue22

BetoORourke KUT So proud of Uvalde folks...KUT is npr in Austin...Texans everywhere are taking notice.

KUT I'd rather know why the people you say will protect us if we give up our guns waited so long to get him.

BetoORourke KUT Home Heat, Gas double+, Crime, DA's free violent, overrun Border, shortages, Prices, Coming food shortages, IRS, Afghanistan, Ukraine, violent left ok'd, liberty loss, ESG, election ?'s, 50% of Americans attacked, covid abuse, FBI, CRT, damaging children, Want more of it in Nov?

KUT Still don’t get it there is no such thing as “Gun Violence” you have to have someone pull the trigger this makes it people violence. Quit misleading people !

BetoORourke KUT Ok now we know your position on gun control, but what is your strategy for managing the southern border. I think Texans deserve an answer 🦗🦗🦗🦗

SeanFlan45 KUT

KUT News with a narrative. Next.

KUT GuN lAwS Keep putting blame on the one thing that would have had ZERO preventative effect on the incident. That's a great way to ensure future tragedies.

BetoORourke KUT Remember Francis has zero meaningful accomplishments, except for wearing a dress and getting arrested. He supports policies on energy, crime, inflation, taxes, defund the police, borders, lack of school choice, 2A, etc that have FAILED in blue cities and states. Beto=Bad for TX.

KUT Grieving family members have long been angered by left wing politicians for their soft on crime politics and defund the police extremism, with much less cheerleading and fanfare from NPR “reporters.”

BetoORourke KUT GregAbbott_TX ,GovAbbott Give a read Greggy boy it's the reason you dropped 2 more points in the polls Abbott - 45% down from 47% Beto- 40% Undecided - 11% 300k new voter's in 6 weeks all after the draconian Abortion laws AbbottFailedTexas

KUT Because a special session this close to the election (and the next regular session in January) would accomplish nothing but electoral posturing. NPR is clueless about how the Austin capitol works.

BetoORourke KUT The Demonrat liars have fooled 99% of their voters……

KUT Why are the same Uvalde residents giving Uvalde law enforcement & school administrators a free pass for not doing their jobs?

KUT Abbott hangin' with a Proud Boy leader with Nazi tats. Vote4Beto

KUT A special session should be called on poor parenting & mental illness. That will help to prevent violence.

KUT Go Beto! BetoORourke

BetoORourke KUT Beto ORourke is a liar. He also believes in defunding the police and is on board with BLM and Antifa along with keeping the borders open. Did I forget to mention that he also has an arrest record? This man SHOULD NOT be our next Governor.

BetoORourke KUT Let’s vote Abbott out. Vote for Beto!

BetoORourke KUT You're going to beat Abbott. The clip of his pathetic backtrack on abortion should be in all Democratic ad campaigns. And the recent near shooting at the high school football game. Roll up your sleeves, don't give an inch.

BetoORourke KUT GregAbbott_TX is owned by the NRA & they want many maximum body count events

BetoORourke KUT Are you for gun control? Who should be in charge of the guns? Do you trust the government? Answer those three questions while staring at yourself in the mirror and youll realize that its NOT about saving lives when 93% of all shootings are done w a handgun and they only want ARs

BetoORourke KUT God gives you a mind to think for yourself. By now we should know what is best for our family. The Devil come to you in all different forms of life .Everyone that represented God is not always what you see .think about.

BetoORourke KUT The way this man is treating these families is disgraceful. He should be on his knees apologising to them.

KUT We need a special session on why the cowardly Uvalde ISD PD chief stopped officers from taking the shooter out before all those children were murdered.

BetoORourke KUT Fire GregAbbott_TX ! He does not fulfill his job obligations to the people of Texas

BetoORourke KUT Lest ye forget.

BetoORourke KUT Vote Beto 😘

BetoORourke KUT How about being the police to do their jobs

BetoORourke KUT Meh. Common sense minded people know it isn’t the gun, it’s the evil person holding it. GoAwayBeto

KUT There is one big reason why Abbott will NOT call any Special Sessions: Our Secretary of State is appointed by Abbott to oversee his own reelection bid *but-not-confirmed*. Because the timing of the appointment, he can stay unconfirmed until the next session. If Abbott...

KUT Beto for Texas 🌊

KUT AbbottFailedTexas

KUT Good for them! Don't back down!

KUT I don't have any family members 😭💔😭😔

KUT The current gun laws aren’t enforced, why would new ones be any better? Besides the fact that the second amendment rights say we have a right to bear arms. Guns are inanimate objects, people who want to do harm still will and only the law abiding people will be affected

KUT This is why everyone should vote Democrat this Nov! Republicans do not care about people! They have shown who they have become. They yell about immigration but have yet to do anything to reform it.

KUT The police did nothing for over an hour and the killer was stopped when a man, armed with a privately owned shotgun, took personal responsibility to defend his community.

KUT SOROS backed Beto is constantly using the tragedy for political gain. Posting photos of the school children and their families. Earlier Abbet wanted to meet with the parents. They said no. Then Beto got involved and now it’s turned into a political Show. NPR is liberal news

KUT That’s where change often comes from, grieving people who’ve been ignored by elected officials. I did it myself once - sitting sheriff beaten by 130 votes out of over 200,000 cast because I worked my ass off to get my family’s story out to voters.

KUT Abbott is not king. He’s supposed to represent all the people, not just those who voted for him. He fails miserably at that.

KUT Your children are an acceptable sacrifice to ensure that Republicans have access to any firearm they choose.

KUT Texas should vote him out.

I thought about those children and their families just this morning! 🙏 with them 💯

SergioMarBel Truly a tragic event but we’re not giving up our gun rights over the actions of criminals; ever.

Ex-NY governor compares Dems upset over migrant buses to liberal anti-integrationistsPaterson insisted he does not support actions by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to send migrants to liberal jurisdictions like New York and Martha’s Vineyard. He's not wrong... You want them you get them.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Intergration and logistics concerns are two different entities. Where do these nicompoops hail from. Go to any red state or red city, you'll learn the true meaning of anti-intergrationism - where blacks, latinos and natives are rejected as shit in white suburbs, on a daily basis
