As Twitchy reported, 14 elementary school students and a teacher are reportedly dead after a mass shooter blockaded himself inside a school in Uvalde, Texas. The shooter is dead, and his grandmother was shot. From what we can piece together, he shot his grandmother, then barricaded himself inside the school and opened fire.
We’ve been keeping an eye out for who would be the first to jump in and call for gun control, and the winner in the high-profile category might be California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
14 children and a teacher dead.
Another shooting. And the GOP won’t do a damn thing about it.
Who the hell are we if we cannot keep our kids safe.
This is preventable. Our inaction is a choice.
We need nationwide, comprehensive, commonsense gun safety NOW.

Wow Gavin, you don't even wait for the bodies to get cold before using them for your propaganda? https://t.co/T8LRgZr9Md

The Democrats control the government, slackjaw. And the gun homicide rates are higher in areas with stricter gun control. Also "Gavin" is a cringey name https://t.co/QwPwCbWx6M

I don't know who needs to hear this, but no one on the right is against taking illegal guns from people. We are all actually quite supportive of increased enforcement. You are beating a strawman.

Yep. Also, illegal guns don't confiscate themselves, & people who commit gun crimes don't prosecute themselves. "Do something" means "have police do more policing" and "put more people in jail." https://t.co/Eoed5s5k8m

Hold up … Sen. Chris Murphy is on the floor agreeing that this is a choice:
A) VERY emotional speech by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on the floor about the shooting in Texas. He was a senator-elect and the sitting Congressman representing Sandy Hook when the shooting happened there in 2012.

B) Murphy:
This is a choice!…this is the only country where this happens…Sandy Hook will never be the same..this town in Texas will never be the same.— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) May 24, 2022
C) Murphy: I am literally getting down on my hands and knees here, begging…there is a place where we can achieve an agreement (on guns)..so America will never again see a mass shooting.
