A gunman can confront me with an AR-15 in a store but no one can confront a sitting US senator … who wont do anything to curb gun violence … at a diner. Got it.

During a press conference in Uvalde County, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said the state needed to focus on mental health and not restricting gun ownership to prevent future mass shootings like the one that happened at Robb Elementary School. He was jeered by former congressman Beto O’Rourke, who blamed Abbott for the slaying. “This is on you,” said O’Rourke, who is running for governor. 1
Mental Health America’s annual report is out, and it ranks Texas as the worst state in the U.S. for access to mental health care. With the pandemic putting a strain on many Texans’ mental health, people didn’t know what to do. 2
A Uvalde mother says she was handcuffed while urging law enforcement officials to enter Robb Elementary School during Tuesday’s shooting, according to the Wall Street Journal. 3

After the confrontation ended with Ramos dead, school buses began to arrive to transport students from the school, according to Ms. Gomez. She said she saw police use a Taser on a local father who approached the bus to collect his child.https://t.co/HgwAz3Awx6 via @WSJ

Opinion: Peeking out from beneath the wooly blanket of indignation Biggs is hiding under is a partisan wolf’s clothing.
“Biggs and several other Republican members of Congress with connections to the insurrection of Jan. 6, the so-called “Stop the Steal” demonstrations and the effort to overturn a duly certified presidential election were subpoenaed by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.” 4
Clause 3 of Article VI – The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. 5
“…but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” That’s from Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, Sen. Graham. This question was totally inappropriate and Judge Jackson gave the perfect answer. https://t.co/AvcKTZ0o8Z
