“I don’t need smoke blown up my ass. I need change,” a North Texas teacher says about gun reform, post Uvalde.
Abbott said then that the measure would “do more than Texas has ever done to make schools safer places for our students, for our educators, for our parents and families.”The Gun Violence Archive describes a mass shooting as having “a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident.”
“I can’t help you. I do not comment. On a professional level, I do not comment,” Turner said. “We do not comment on active investigations.”in the past about gun controversies. For instance, last September for a story about the danger of The group’s executive director, Nicole Golden, said even when they bring data, stories of gun violence survivors and even support from law enforcement, the political will for moving forward with “common sense” gun laws just doesn’t exist in Texas.
“Absolutely not! Teachers wear many hats in addition to educating students, but asking them now to be security and police officers is unacceptable!” Honea wrote. “Mistakes, as we’ve seen, are made by well-trained officers for situations like this.

“People … just absolutely want to see change and want to know who’s accountable for this,” Golden said. “On top of that, people hear about, read about [gun violence] in the news on a daily basis, then to face what we faced … and seeing how last legislative session went, I just think people are putting the pieces together and want answers.”
