“He has not kept his word to my family and to any of these families.” Families of Uvalde shooting victims rallied at the Texas Capitol on Saturday, criticizing Gov. Greg Abbott for a lack of action on raising the age limit to purchase automatic weapons.

Abbott’s office didn’t return a request for comment Saturday. According to hisWhen Javier Cazares asked Abbott to increase the minimum age to buy an automatic rifle, he said the governor evaded the question.

Abbott’s response was familiar to the families of other Texas mass shooting victims. Those survivors spoke in support, and solidarity, of the Uvalde families. Rosie Stone recalled Abbott’s similar inaction after her son, Chris, was killed in the 2018 Santa Fe school shooting. With Republicans in charge of all levels of state government, Stone said the power to be able to do something is in their hands. Limiting access to guns, though, has long been a non-starter for the GOP.

hoodInterpreter Vote for the leadership you deserve, it’s time to move Abbott out of the Governor’s mansion. As for the other guy “Turn your Badge in!” 🎀

Leftist rag tries to blame the Uvalde shooting on GregAbbott_TX . Typical leftist bullsh*t

TX GOP are paid off by the Energy and Firearms Sectors that failed their State while they legislate QAnon talking points as a distraction

What action do you want Abbott to take that will prevent parents from producing future killers?

Any gun control advocates on here okay with the Ruger mini 14 Ranch rifle without the 'scary' cosmetic features of an AR15?

MARCH FOR OUR LIVES thrives on mass school shootings to promote gun control. They reject giving poor kids the same security as rich kids of our gun control leaders who attend safe protected schools

DebraVaello That’s because GregAbbott_TX doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about the kids who were killed. He doesn’t care about the families who lost loved ones. He just doesn’t care.

that wouldn't do anything. That known nutter to police should have never been on the street. Most mass killers are known to thee letter agencies or have a very violent history known to officials. But they don't do anything and they are not automatic weapons.

CAFA1968 Liars are like that.

RANewsTX 🤔 Automatic weapons

GregAbbott_TX doesn't care. He's actually worse than doesn't care, he really believes the murdering of children is just the unfortunate cost of doing business.

Automatic weapons? Or semi-automatic?

Greg Abbot does not care. He's had 7 mass shootings on his watch. How many chances are Texan's willing to give him?

Why would he violate the Constitution?

To the families: our hearts go out to you!! Taking rights away from law abiding people won't stop criminals and won't ease your unimaginable pain. This is a local and mental health issue. I find it outrageous how it's being used by BetoORourke. Student safety is a local issue.

GregAbbott_TX repmayraflores

He never said he would change the age for gun ownership. That’s so cute that you think he did.

Of course not, he's beholden to his big donors not the voters. His vote is bought by murder.
