Two days after a Texas House committee surprisingly advanced a measure that would restrict access to certain guns, the bill now seems to have died.
A woman holds a sign saying,"Love our kids more than guns," during a demonstration in the Texas Capitol Rotunda on Monday.
But on Tuesday, lawmakers failed to ensure the bill met a key deadline, arguably leaving the measure — barring any extraordinary maneuver from lawmakers — dead this legislative session. The families of the shooting at Robb Elementary have said that if the laws around assault weapons purchases were different, the shooting could have been prevented.
“Whether that's voting, being drafted, in the criminal justice system, or the Second Amendment, that is the decision we've made,” Burrows added. “So, I don't know how the courts or us can discriminate between the ages of 18 and 21.”
