It`s because of Greg Abbott, our current governor, who is more beholden to the NRA, the special interests, the gun manufacturers than he is to the very people he`s supposed to serve, especially our kids.

We need action at this moment or there will be more shootings unfortunately, like the one that we saw in Uvalde.

The time to stop the next shooting is right now, and you’re doing nothing. You’re all bringing up nothing.

When I`m governor, we`re going to go after those illegal profits and return them back to that cotton grower in Quanah, Texas, and the Texans all over the state.

People are angry because Greg Abbott has yet to fix the grid.

At a minimum, raise the age of purchase for an AR-15, AK-47, weapons originally designed for use in combat, designed to kill an enemy soldier at 500 feet.

This is on you. This is on you until you choose to do something about it.

He is the single greatest driver of inflation in the state of Texas. And he still hasn’t fixed the grid.

The fact that the governor of Texas is going in the opposite direction... He did so when he had turned his back on them.

I would do everything in my power to make sure that we empower the state police to help us guarantee this does not happen again in another school.

The first thing you’ve asked of me, everyone who is here, is that we not forget the names and the lives and the memories of those who were taken from us. The second thing that you have told me is there must see justice, there must be…

We could get to it right away. Some really simple solutions here.

We need a change in the leadership of this state to make that happen.

You said this was not predictable, this is totally predictable when you choose not to do anything.

The governor could call a special session about legislature right now, and get those laws passed. But he won’t.

Those families have waited day after day, week after week, now more than a month later, and still nothing.

There are heroes, elected leaders, public officials, law enforcement officers, survivors of the massacre who want the truth out.

He has beholden to the NRA, and to the gun lobby.

Our current governor has not only badly failed these families, and the community of Uvalde, but he is letting down this entire state.

The only thing the governor has done is to make it easier for people to carry guns, publicly, without a background check, without any training, or any vetting, whatsoever.

What those families deserve right now is justice, and it deserve leadership.

They haven't done enough, no.

It has been six weeks since 19 children and two teachers were taken from us and Uvalde yet Governor Abbott has done nothing meaningful to prevent another mass shooting.

94 percent of Republican voters in Texas support universal background checks, 98 percent of Democratic voters in Texas support universal background checks. Greg Abbott still opposes them.

The time to stop the next shooting right now and you are doing nothing. You`re all up nothing. You said this was unpredictable. This was totally predictable when you choose not to do anything.
