U.S. House Representative Tony Gonzales and San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg are working on securing federal funds through Department of Justice grants for additional resources.
“This is a challenge being faced all across the country. What is unique here in Texas and some other states as well is the legislature is making it easier for these weapons to be all over our streets and getting into the wrong hands,” San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said.
“I understand some people want some assault weapon bans, and some don’t want to talk about it at all; I’m of the mindset of what can we do to protect the constitution as well as keep our kids safe in school,” U.S. House Representative Tony Gonzales said. “We’re talking millions of dollars through these federal grants, that way we can hire more police officers,” Gonzales said.
Nirenberg said even with the recent shootings, the city’s prevention plan is showing promising signs. Right now, police are adding patrol to areas with high reports of crime.
