to purchase tobacco in texas to 21. and in 2021, the texas legislature lowered the able to purchase guns to 18. this individual who killed 19 of our children a day ago was 18 when he went and purchased those weapons. and that s because the legislature lowered the age in the state of texas. and so if we don t stand up for our kids, it happened in uvalde, but these are our children. if we don t protect them, who will? and the legislature passed house bill 1927, talking about the texas legislature, that now permits permitless carry. no training. no license. no permit required. lowered the age by which people can purchase assault weapons to 18, and now 19 of our babies are gone. and families will be hurting for the rest of their lives. i applaud what beto o rourke did. the time to be nuanced is over, okay? and you can t not allow policymakers, legislatures, governors to pass bills that promote the use of guns and then when people are killed say we are praying and we are offer our
senate. they all acted with him. texas has not passed one gun safety law, has not even discussed it. we are not talking about gun control. you know that. you know, don, we are talking about gun safety. and these people are right behind all of those they are literally like the arsonists sitting and watching these kids get murdered. arsonists, don t they sit and watch something burn? they are watching these kids get murdered and doing nothing. giving thoughts and prayers. b.s. to thoughts and prayers. i am so riddled with anger, you have no idea. i mean, the tears come. i watch. i just watched them talk about all these kids. don t they care? are they ever going to care? this is not new for me. i don t re-live scott s murder
