The Gun Lobby Continues to Hold American Life Hostage Six Years After Parkland
For Immediate Release: February 14, 2024
TEXAS – U.S Senate candidate and Uvalde State Senator Roland Gutierrez responded to a shooting today in Kansas City at a Super Bowl celebration parade, in which there are multiple people reported shot, including children.
“Today in America, families just wanted to celebrate their team’s big win. Day after day, this nation has to deal with the gruesome and tragic results of a country where guns are readily available to those intent on doing harm to others. Every day, another community in America is traumatized because no place is safe when cowardly politicians continue to choose the gun lobby over the safety of people”.
“We don’t have to live in anxiety and fear every day. We don’t have to see more children in caskets. Ted Cruz and Texas Republicans say nothing can be done. I refuse to accept that. We must vote for change and demand that every level of government, all the way up to the Legislature, Congress, and the White House, do something now”.
“My heart is with the community of Kansas City and I am grateful to the city’s leadership and first responders.”
