About this episode
Y’all-itics: February 19, 2023
Less than nine-months after the mass murder at Robb Elementary, Governor Greg Abbott didn’t mention Uvalde in his state-of-the-state address. And that is symbolic of the difficult struggle ahead for Texans now pushing for gun reform after losing loved ones in mass shootings. The lawmakers who represent Uvalde have introduced several of what they call “common sense” gun reform bills this session. But is there common appeal to make any changes? How about having to show ID before buying bulk ammunition? Or requiring insurance before you can buy certain types of guns? In this episode of Y’all-itics, Sen. Roland Gutierrez joins the Jasons to discuss his proposals and an innovative marketing campaign trying to win the hearts and minds of suburban parents. A father who lost his son at Robb Elementary also tells the Jasons why he doesn’t think Republicans will allow any movement on the issue this session.
