Mile-long school buses head to US lawmaker's office to honor children shot dead, demand gun control

HOUSTON, United States — A mile-long yellow school bus convoy on Thursday headed to pro-gun right US Senator Ted Cruz’s home and office in Houston, the largest city of gun-friendly state Texas, to honor thousands of young victims of gun violence across the country and demand gun control reform.

The leading organizer, a gun control and anti-gun violence advocacy group called Change the Ref, said in a press release that the Thursday fleet is the official launch of The Yellow Bus Project and Houston is its first stop. According to the press release, senators and house representatives representing Texas have received more than US$14 million in contributions from gun rights interests over their careers. Among them, Cruz is the leading recipient of gun lobbyist funding in Texas with nearly $750,000 in total.
