'What we need are legislators, senators, representatives and members of Congress with enough courage to say, 'I care more about children than I care about guns.''
A fourth-grade teacher and two 10-year-old kids were among those killed in a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday.
"This was a horrific act of violence," said Rep. John Garamendi."What we need are legislators, senators, representatives and members of Congress with enough courage to say 'I care more about children than I care about guns.'" The suspect who committed the shooting bought an AR15-style rifle just days after he turned 18. There are many concerns about his mental health and how he was allowed to purchase a firearm. That is what lawmakers in the Bay Area want to prevent from happening again.
"We have to say this will never happen again," Garamendi said."We know what to do. We know we have too many guns on the street and we know people with mental illness have these guns."
