you said you need to be at least 21 to buy that kind of weapon. you re not taking it off the table completely? presently you can buy one when you re 18. we think you should be 21. i represent texans point of view and what texans point of view is very firm on this, i m in the majority on this, we need a background check system that works, you saw that a background system with this horrible person would have prevented him from getting his hand os on those gu. and you need to wait until you re 21 to buy it and red flag laws. majority of texans think take those steps and take those steps immediately before our kids come back to school in the fall. that s what we should do. what about what the governor of texas has presented? greg abbott pushing for the idea that more mental health resources are needed in communities like uvalde to try to address this issue, do you agree with him? certainly we need more resources for mental health. the state of texas, led by republicans, have not do
