Abbott has signed more than two dozen bills supporting gun rights and consistently opposes firearm, magazine and ammunition bans.
. With the 26th highest gun death rate in the country, the state saw roughly 14 gun deaths for every 100,000 citizens in 2021— 4 percent higher than the national average. During his run for president in 2019, O’Rourke gave voice to the worst fears of gun rights advocates when he said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”O’Rourke made this comment in the aftermath of the mass shooting in his hometown of El Paso in which 23 people were murdered and 23 others injured. O’Rourke’s comments in the aftermath of Uvalde have been equally passionate, but measured and reflective of popular policies.
“What those families in Uvalde are owed, and what our fellow Texans — especially our kids — need is action,” he told us. “And we can stand on principle, hold our breath and hope that we get it done, or we can choose to find the common ground.”
