Schools in Uvalde, Texas, will be closed Wednesday to commemorate one year since the heartbreaking massacre at Robb Elementary School, the deadliest school shooting in Texas history. The massacre left a lasting impact on the small town and devastated the families of the 21 victims, who are still grieving and fighting for accountability and gun reform. Texas lawmakers this session have taken steps to increase funding for school security measures and mental health resources, local officials says it isn’t enough.

“At the end of the day, we're not attacking the common denominator, which is guns in the hands of anybody and everybody without regulation at all. And that to me is tremendously problematic that we're not doing that,” said Sen. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio, whose district includes Uvalde. “It's the same thing we've seen session after session. The chaos that's going on in Texas is due to the Republicans’ loose position on guns and loose gun laws. More guns do not equal less crime; more guns equal more crime. You don't need to be a scientist to figure that one out.”
