Early morning light shines on a memorial for the children and teachers murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. While we can never bring back those who were lost, we must come together to support the grief-stricken community as it embarks on the long road of healing.The peaceful community of Uvalde has endured horror these past weeks that has shaken every Texan to the core.
Parents are worried about the basic safety and security of their schools. Understandably, people are angry and baffled at the injustice of a disturbed criminal’s demented final actions causing such devastation. The faces of the grieving families and stunned residents of Uvalde, with whom Cecilia and I have met, will leave deep and lasting scars on our hearts.
As the state of Texas activates its full capabilities to lift up Uvalde, we must ensure such tragedies do not happen again. I’ve directed the Texas District & County Attorneys Association to use theas a new tool to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. The law makes it a state jail felony to illegally purchase a firearm by falsifying information on a background check form.
As for new laws, Texas legislative leaders have formed special committees to examine school safety standards and to develop legislative recommendations on school safety, access to mental health care, social media policies, police training and firearm safety, among other topics. This process empowers the officials who make the law to get right to work addressing all the issues concerning the tragedy in Uvalde.
