the sick people who care more about their guns than the lives of the children or citizens, in general, do not care about the pain and devastation that these parents are enduring. vote out the politicians who live on the gun lobby money and cling to their miserable power.
Since the lawmakers and their families are well-protected and are not in any danger nothing will be done, nothing will change, and the blood bath will continue…
This absolutely dropped me in tears…
STOP WITH THE PRAYERS STOP WITH THE CONDOLENCES. SOMETHING MUST CHANGE. THIS IS ONLY IN THE U.S.
Give back the right for teachers to arm themselves to protect our children the gun free zones make them a target they know there will be no one there to stop them! Bring back mental health everyone of these shooters has mental issues its not the gun it's the person that holds it!
😭💔💔💔🙏so heartbreaking 💔
This is so hard to watch without shedding tears. She is right about money being more important to leaders in Congress than children. Power, money and NRA.
Simple Solution is ARM AND TRAIN ALL TEACHERS that = DEAD GUNMEN AND WOMEN PERIOD
I’m so sorry!!!!!!
I am broken an I didn't know any of the children I am so sorry I pray for you an all the other families may God keep you 🙏
Mr. and Mrs. Rubio. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm a Mom and it angered and broke my heart to hear the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary. I will say a prayer for you and your family.
HEARTBREAKING 😪😪😪😪
REVEAL GUN MANUFACTURERS AND SELLERS LIABILITY‼️
Texas Republican Senators John Cornyn, Ted Cruz and Governor Abbot and all US Republican Senators and House Members and Governors had blood on their hands and indirectly played a roll on all death victims of Gun Violence and mass shootings specially from high powered assault weapons and high powered magazines in the country, they continue to NOT SUPPORT a Universal Background Check on anyone buying a Gun and NOT SUPPORT a BAN on the Sale of high powered Assault Weapons and high powered magazines, Pls Vote them Out come Election Time if u want these madness to stop
FACT: Republicans care more about their "grade" from the NRA than they do the lives of innocent children. Remember that.
My heart is broken 💔 parents 😢 please parents let's keep a check up on our love ones we all can play a roll in stopping bye and just reporting suspicious activity I love you all I'm so sad it's a real fight going on and us parents have to start patrolling and protecting the children.
So brave to testify in the midst of this unimaginable grief. Lots of thoughts and prayers for these parents and all of the people tragically affected by gun violence. So hope they hear your words and finally pass laws that help protect our children.
Mother to a 7 year old (going to be 8 in 5 days), and an 11 year old. I’m tormented by thoughts of the terror the Uvalde children had to go through. & I can’t help but picture my own kids & their little classmates in such a situation…😓 It’s heartbreaking & infuriating at the same time.
I’m a teacher and a mother of three. My heart aches for all the lives lost. This mom will blame herself for the rest of her life for her daughter’s death and that isn’t fair. We need change and we need it NOW!
LawLESSNESS enforcement is what this is in practicality. Second amendment says you can bear arms, but why with automatic or semiauromatic Guns? did they have those in the old days when the USA was founded?
where is the limit? buy missiles or bombs?
this is on the cost of childrens LIVES
The US constitution is made by FALLIBLE human beings, but stop Reading it as the BIBLE.
LawlessnessENFORCERS.
Correction! Meant to say pain
I can feel their painting. Their lives wouldn't be normal again! That's what call immense pain. So sad 😭
I still think 21 yrs of age is too young, 25 yrs is what I think.
Mr and Mrs Rubio, I cry with you and every family member in Uvalde. Our Federal Government and State Governors SHOULD AND MUST act removing AR15s from all stores. I also agree with your statement concerning Our Leaders backing the big corporations rather than protecting our innocent children, adults, seniors, etc. We don't need to hear phony words from the leaders, we NEED and DESERVE ACTION.
Kudos to Boulder, CO! Let's hope more and more local governments have the wisdom and courage to follow suit. No civilian needs assault weapons. Anyone can wait 10 days. If you can't hit your target with less than 10 shots you should not be shooting, you're hopeless. If there were fewer, fragile ego, small dicked males there would be less gun violence. Sweeping Federal Laws needed to corral the paranoid, poor ignorant sob's who think they know better. The Constitution was meant to evolve with society and the times.
