  1. ONE ACTION ONE PURPOSE DISARM U.S.A. CITIZENS. 🇵🇰👈🏿👈🏿👈🏿

  2. Could empathy, belief in oneself, a healthy discipline and endurance, compassion for others, and disdain for any form of violence, be taught in primary school? or is that 'too much'? .. because if children missed out on learning these from their parents…
    it could also be taught that all men are equal; bullying must not be tolerated or ignored in school or at work.. don't have one standard at school, then another in the real world.. no bullying wherever.. no to violence.. no to panic attacks.. no to depression.. no to victim shaming.. no to bully rewarding.. we get what we give.. society reaps what society sows…
    oh, and stricter gun laws.. don't sell to raging people who look normal on the outside..
    and, who trains cops? can they be the best of the best, please..? bless them and hold them accountable, maybe? ❤❤🙏🙏
    Bless you, Uvalde..

  3. Interesting she referred to the gunman as a child. He was 18.

  4. 21 is still way too young. I'd raise to 25.

  5. Easy gun access mixed with mental health is a toxic mix for a mass shooting. More needs to be done to help people with mental health and gun access in communities need to be taking off the streets.

  6. Don't they know mass shootings are gonna still happen everywhere malls, schools, groceries stores,nightclubs,hotels, concerts,church's, everywhere

  7. Sad about what happened but leave me and my rights alone!

  8. Raising an age limit won't do much. I'll take it she hasn't heard about the crazy old Asain guys in cali. Guns aren't the issue mental health is

  9. Until senators kids get shot in school, nothing will change, and they are too old to have kids in school

  10. We must eliminate ALL WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS AND MILITARY ASAP!
    11 million weapons every year are produced!
    11 million one year
    11 million next year
    11 million more every year!
    I don’t care if 10 million people lose their horrible jobs!
    No one should be making any more weapons!
    There are too many weapons worldwide!
    So eliminate all weapons ASAP!

  11. Guns are not the problem. People that are Severely Mentally Insane are the problem.

  12. Are we living our own home made “troubles”??? How many more of our own children’s lives lost will we accept before taking real action against loose gun laws in our country???

  13. I support the NRA and the right to openly bear arms

  14. Forget gun control……What we needed that day were brave officers!! One last time, criminals don't follow laws. Gun laws will not work.

  15. The chances of passing sensible gun control in Texas are about the same as choosing a perfect NCAA bracket.

  16. It sucks but this kind of thing has been done over and over and nothing gets done about it.

  17. This never should have happened. It's shameful we allow this to happen here

  18. The Republican party doesn't care they are to busy with drag shows.

  19. Everybody cries about gun legislation, which is a good idea, but nobody wants to talk about the real problem which is mental health.

  20. Useless plea if you keep voting for pro-gun Republican lawmakers!

  21. No laws will prevent this. What don't you guys understand? Instead of only talking about the ones lost, you want to go political.
