it is a neighboring district of one of my colleagues, representative jeff leech. who represents that area. but i will tell, leo it is close enough to where my daughter has friends from high school that work in that mall as well as my family and i. we shop there. church members shop there, i had a constituent reach out and tell me that her daughter was at the mall yesterday. but she is safe at home now. >> representative, this is yet another -- this is happened so many times. i give the numbers at the top of the show. 199 mass shootings just this year. this is only the 127th day of the year. what are your constituents saying? at the people in your district. the folks in neighboring districts. >> people are concerned, naturally. people realize that we have been in a pandemic, in an epidemic. but this is part of that epidemic. we're in a serious crisis when it comes to gun violence. we need real reforms. people and constituents aren't asking for us to -- they're asking for us to raise the age, to fight for universal background checks. to make sure that we are looking

jeff leech. you may remember him from last night. he was the state representative who actually serves this city of allen, texas. he coauthored the 2021 texas carrie bill. leach, last night, said thoughts and prayers after making it easier for people to have guns in public. first, this guy, greg abbott who in 2015 said he was embarrassed that texas was the number tuesday in the nation for new gun purchases and demanded that texan start arming themselves as quickly as possible. abbott put out the empty statement of thoughts and prayers as well, and said the attack was evidence of a mental health crisis in america. greg abbott, that guy, that same governor, caught $211 million in texas mental health some funding in 2022 alone. how about this guy, daniel patrick? that is abbott's lieutenant governor, who was one of the pioneers of the door control movement. remember that one? it was asserting that guns were the issue at the heart of school shootings in our country, the number of doors these school has is the real danger. if only we could

. >> to secretary castro's point about representative jeff leech, the state representative at that districtwhose website boasts him being indoors by the nra, the fact that nobody identified, even mentioning the gun to the public, i think in itself is telling. i think that you can convey a message of sympathy and say that this was a mass shooting that was carried out by a weapon. perhaps the journalist in me is that they did not want that to be mentioned, they don't want because they know where the conversation is going to go, that if you are a mass murder, a shooter, who is able to kill seven or eight people and injured several more, while you are being engaged by a police officer, according to the police, he probably at a pretty sophisticated weapon of war and not just a handgun or pistol. >> yeah, they don't want to mention -- >> go ahead, doctor andrews. >> yeah, they don't want to talk about the fact that it was a gun or a shooting. there was a shooting at my workplace this week. the email we got was that they called it a gun discharge. they don't the call is shooting. that is insulting
