Ted Cruz walked away from a journalist who asked the Texas senator whether gun reform is needed in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting.
Asked if there need to be reforms to gun laws in the U.S., the only country in the world where school shootings happen so frequently, Cruz dismissed the question. When Stone suggested that the debate on gun laws is also where many Uvalde residents would like to go in the wake of the tragedy, Cruz added:"The proposals fromand the media, inevitably, when some violent psychopath murders people [...] if you want to stop violent crime, the proposals the Democrats have?
