‘People were stunned’: Uvalde families’ Texas gun safety win lasts just 24 hours

A year on from massacre of children at Robb elementary parents are pushing to raise the age for buying semi-automatic weapons

Days after a deadly mass shooting in a Dallas suburb, families of another horrific killing gathered in the Texas capitol, demanding a change to the state's famously lax gun laws.

It had been nearly a year since a gunman shot 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, with police waiting more than an hour to confront and kill him. Those children's parents and relatives hadn't stopped lobbying Texas lawmakers for stricter gun control.
