Bay Area Houston

The Houston Chronicle missed a few mass shootings.

The Chronicle finally put the blame on our elected officials for the Uvalde shooting. Sort of. Because of their lack of action on common sense gun regulations the parents of Uvalde have filed a number of lawsuits against organizations that gave easy access to guns and ammo to the 18 year old who killed 19 children. They are not alone. Some Santa Fe parents have also sued. And they are winning.

Our elected officials have protected the gun industry from lawsuits much like they are protected from suits after they gave that weapon to the 18 year old. It’s time to put the blame for these shootings that have killed children, police, members of the military, Mexican Americans on them. They are responsible for these senseless killings by giving easy access to mentally ill individuals to military style firearms.

They are responsible for forcing tax payers to pay for the leveling of Ross Elementary and for building a new school. They are responsible for the suits against the police who did nothing as the shooter was killing the kids. They are responsible for those who survived the shootings but will be scarred for life requiring continued medical care. They are responsible but will not be held accountable.

Gun violence was on the ballot in 2022 and not one single elected official, responsible for the Uvalde shooting, was held accountable. Not one. So who will be responsible for the next shooting?

Us.
