Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has joined 12 other Texas mayors in demanding a special legislative session on gun reform.
The mayors of Texas’ largest cities have just about heard enough of Gov. Greg Abbott’s talk when it comes to guns. Less jabber, they say, more gumption: Call a special session.released Tuesday, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced he'd joined a bipartisan group of a dozen city leaders demanding that the Republican governor act: Do something to prevent yet another mass shooting claiming the lives of innocent Texans; Do something to keep guns away from those who shouldn’t have them.
The mayors’ petition comes roughly a month after an elementary school shooting in Uvalde, which left 19 children and two educators dead. Most Texans want to see their kids protected via “common sense reform,” the 13 mayors wrote.
