After the horrific school shooting in Texas, some Republicans are choosing to channel their energy towards door control to deflect from gun reform
of the Republican party. In the wake of the horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas – where 19 children and two teachers were killed by a teenager with military-grade weapons – some Republicans are choosing to channel their energy towards the important question of door control.
“You want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street?” the Texas senator Ted Cruz, while standing outside Robb elementary school. “Having one door that goes in and out of the school, having armed police officers at that one door.” An ordinary person would have paused for a second after saying something so patently ridiculous and then, hit by the realization that they had just blamed the massacre of school children on the problem of “too many doors and not enough guns”, curled up into a little ball of shame. Not, though. Cruz has demonstrated time and time again that he is incapable of shame.
. “It’s 90 degrees. Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped … There are too many entrances and too many exits to our over 8,000 campuses in Texas.”
