so this shock, anger and grief in the town of u val de texas after a teenager open fire and killed 19 children to teachers on tuesday, tributes of being paid to the victims who were all from one classroom at the elementary school. it was the worst school shooting in the us in a decade and prompted us present, joe biden, to call on politicians, to stand up to the powerful farms lobby, john handwritten sentences report from the time of you building another school massacre in america and more flowers to more in the dead, just before an 18 year old checks, his gunman massacred 21 people at rob elementary school. on tuesday, the governor says, well, he shot his own grandmother. any one who shoots his grandmother in the face has to have evil in his heart. but it is far more evil

for someone to gun down little kids. but the republican governors news conference devolved into political theatre when his democratic rival bed, o'rourke interrupted to denounce decades of inaction in congress and in texas. you know, he talked about that this was evil. the only thing evil is what he continues to do to the people of the state. he says this was unpredictable. it was totally predictable. and i predict this will continue to happen. syria era's mindy, as a teacher at another grade school, but her niece eliana was a student at rob elementary school. she says it took hours before she learned that elliana was among the dead. are we whatever we saw on the phone. and when i was near her or facebook or how we found, found out a tragedy, we didn't find out about her until late last night. about 1130. that's when they

confirmed salvador ramos a high school dropout who for years was bullied in school for speaking with a list, but to a r 15 style assault rifles. shortly after his 18th birthday, police say he carried one of them into the school storming past an armed guard before firing more than 230 times over the course of a harrowing hour before border patrol. agents gunned him down. i just don't understand. oh, how people could sell that table, a gun to kid to an 18 year old. like, what is he going to use it for but for that purpose, just what motivated ramos his question authorities are trying to answer now. police are still scouring that scene and looking for a motive for once, that gunman off before he apparently shot his grandmother and then came here to rob

elementary school. it was the 2nd deadline school shooting in american history, but political deadlock on gun control and a long and bloody history suggests it will not be the last john hendrick al jazeera, who've all day texas. well, there's been outrage expressed in washington, d. c. at this lady's shooting, but even those pushing for gun reform accepted that the u. s. is a long way from any meaningful legislation to restrict access to guns. and she have her tansy on the 2nd anniversary of the murder of george floyd, the black man who's killing by minneapolis, police, led to millions taken to the streets nationwide to demand an end to police brutality. president biden signed an executive order designed to prevent federal law enforcement officers from killing. but in fact, this was a reminder of the paralysis in washington. the millions who marched did not achieve that goal of new legal regulations for local law enforcement. so what hope that

another courage out pouring of grief will achieve congressional action on guns? the president can only plead that congress vote to confirm is no obligation to have the gun regulatory body in the us. here's one more step. the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, explosives, a f t has not had a sent a confirmation letter for 7 years. and throughout the day, it was clear on capitol hill that there's little expectation of anything more ambitious democrats pointed to the power of the gun lobby. specifically the national rifle association or n r a is one of the reasons. the problem in the senate is simple to many members on the other side of the aisle are disconnected from the suffering of the american people. to many members on that side. care more about the n r a than they do about families who grieve. and it's true that the n r a has funneled millions of dollars to politicians, to prevent reform, mainly to republicans, but also to some democrats. in fact, on tuesday,

the congressional democratic leadership was canvassing for henry, quite a conservative democrat facing a progressive challenger. class received an a grade from the national rifle association, denoting his opposition to gun regulation. it was a point not lost among the leading progressives in the democratic party. on the day of the mass shooting alexandria, kathy cortez tweeted, democratic party leadership rallied for a pro n r, a anti choice incumbent rober calls fundraisers. all of it. accountability isn't part of them. republicans in washington try to focus on other issues that the government mental health and what they feel is the need for even more resources for law enforcement. we need to develop far more law enforcement resources to stopping violent criminals, preventing these kind of absolutely acts. but both these explanations fall short for many turning schools into militarize fortresses, particularly in school serving minorities, may be the goal for the $1000000000.00 school security industry,

but has been shown to increase a sense of insecurity in students. we have no evidence that pudding law enforcement within schools has led to a decrease reduction in the occurrence of these events. as for many help republicans on suggesting any sort of change from the for profit health care system in the u. s. the prevents many people from seeking help. in fact, in the coming weeks, expectation isn't the new law is designed to prevent gun violence, but a relaxation of existing laws. the supreme court expected to weaken a law on carrying guns in public places. shepherd hansley al jazeera washington. well, johnny is now from dickenson in texas is rhonda hart as she's the survivor of gun violence and the mother of teenager kimberly vaughn, who was killed during the santa fe school shooting of 2018 at randa hart. welcome to our 0. we thank you for talking to the very real subject for you. obviously,
