PUBLISHED 5:25 PM EST Dec. 15, 2022Ten years and one day after a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School left 20 children and six adults dead, three members of the Uvalde community, who were impacted by deadly gun violence earlier this year, took their pleas to the members of Congress hoping to sway gun legislation.
Jack Brewer of Texas, who represents the America First Policy Institute, said fatherlessness should be to blame “She was my purpose for wanting to be successful and better in life. And my purpose left, so now I have to find something else, and it's hard,” Faith Mata told Spectrum News. “It’s so quiet and she had her pet cat. Her cat sleeps in her room now. And so it's like, you just know, there's something not right. That puzzle piece isn’t there anymore.”
Tess Mata's mother, Veronica, an educator at another Uvalde school, said the doctor's testimony dredged up a well of emotion. Jack Brewer, a native Texan who represented the America First Policy Institute, said fatherlessness should be to blame, and suggested discipline and religion are the answer.
