Varias familias de Uvalde han pasado los últimos días cabildeando por una reforma de armas en Washington, D.C. (TPRNews)
A ellos se unieron sobrevivientes y familiares de víctimas de otros tiroteos masivos, incluidos Parkland, Florida y Highland Park, Illinois.
Manuel Rizo es el padrino de Jackie Cazares, uno de los 19 niños asesinados en Robb Elementary junto a sus dos maestros. Rizo dijo que las familias se reunieron con varios legisladores de Illinois pero solo con uno de Texas: el congresista Tony Gonzales. Además de la familia Cazares, familiares de al menos otros tres niños asesinados en el tiroteo masivo de Uvalde viajaron a D.C.: Lexi Rubio, Uziyah García y Amerie Jo Garza.
En una transmisión en vivo captada por familiares y medios de comunicación, la madre dijo que muchas ideas sobre"qué pasaría si" pasan por su cabeza todos los días. Pero ella quiere que los legisladores se concentren en un solo cuestionamiento: ¿Qué hubiera pasado si el asesino en Robb Elementary no hubiera tenido acceso a un arma de asalto?
