that he would focus on raising the age to buy semi-automatic rifles to 21 if he were elected next month in addition to supporting universal background checks and red-flag laws, which would allow judges to seize firearms from people deemed dangerous.
O’Rourke attacked Abbott at the debate for refusing to call a special legislative session to discuss school safety and gun laws after the Uvalde shooting. He alsofor expanding gun access in Texas by signing a law allowing Texans who can legally carry guns to carry handguns without a license or training and for sending a video message to the National Rifle Association’s conference in Houston just days after the shooting in Uvalde.

May 24, 2022 19 innocent children & 2 teachers were massacred in their own school with an AR15 bought legally by 18 y.o. ABBOTT’s Reply: “IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE”. REMEMBER THEIR NAMES...SAVE THE CHILDREN
A created job for one of buddies. How is he going check the thousands of schools in Texas for compliance?
How long has the search been going on for the position?
So more cops to stand around and check their Punisher screen saver phones. Got it.
Unless this school safety director can catch speeding bullets in his bare hands, this is an empty gesture that will lead to deaths of more children.
Again how much safer could it have been? Almost every TX police force was there and did nothing. We need common sense gun laws. gunlawsnow

He should not be able to have that power over TEA.
Unless the chief implements some common sense gun ownership laws, this is not going to keep schools safer.
I don't trust a thing Abbott does......
But only because Beto showed how little, actually nothing, Abbott has done.
Abbott is a failure BetoForTexas
Not a hypothetical: did he also try to help Trump steal the election in Pennsylvania?
