As the nation grapples with the emotions following the school shooting – the issue is also taking center stage for politicians.
Republican Congressman John Rutherford and Democrat Al Lawson both issued statements Wednesday afternoon regarding the shooting.“Every child has a right to be safe in school. There are ways to improve school security, such as connecting students with better mental health resources, making sure every school has a school resource officer, and investing in intervention programs. Restricting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens is not the answer.”“I am tired.
“There were 21 beautiful souls stolen yesterday. My deepest condolences go to the families who lost their loved ones. I am sending light and prayer to the Uvalde community.”On Wednesday, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio was asked about the shooting and issues involving gun control legislation and background checks. Rubio’s stance is not changing.
Gun control laws have already become a campaign issue in an upcoming congressional race for the new District 4 in Florida. “I want to see the investigation first. There should be nobody -- I should say in my opinion -- no politician should be making a decision just yet because of the fact that they really don’t know what’s happening,” Aguilar said.
