Uvalde: Arredondo denied leave of absence; mayor accuses DPS of lying, says school will be torn down
FOX NewsJUL 2022
It's not a coincidence that Texas, home to some of the most lenient gun laws in the country, has suffered a string of mass shootings. This incident is far from the first time that armed officers haven't been able to prevent school shootings, and unless legislators adopt stricter gun control laws, it won't be the last.
Blaming gun ownership for this tragedy is a mistake. Police didn't follow active-shooter protocols and the school wasn't sufficiently secured beforehand. The answer to preventing school shootings is better training and hardening schools' protocols and protections; not gun control.
