The U.S. Senate did not take up a single piece of major gun violence prevention legislation last year or so far this year, according to an analysis by theTexas Republican Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, both advocates of Second Amendment protections remaining in place, have long opposed even basic gun safety reforms, the analysis found.
Speaking at the National Rifle Association’s annual conference in Houston Friday, just days after the Uvalde massacre, Cruz double-downed on his stance on gun rights in America. “This is a sign to us that we need to do a lot more than we have done in the past,” said Cornyn, during a brief question and answer session with reporters prior to the ceremony.“I hope we will try to look in a clear-eyed way at what happened and ask this question: ‘what can we do to fix this problem?’” said Cornyn.
Cornyn was firm in his assertion that guns must remain out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.He also said the shooter may have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and lengths of isolation at his home during which he played violent video games., which would have opened the floor for debate about the latest string of mass shootings.
