Families of the Texas elementary school shooting victims have spoken out about gun control while Republican leadership push to arm more teachers.
Mom Ana Rodriguez, who lost her 10-year-old daughter Maite Rodriguez in the shooting, said that the gun laws in the state are insane. The grieving mother also slammed Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott who has said he will not consider toughening gun laws following the shooting. 'He is an absolute embarrassment to Texas,' she says of Abbott, adding that due to the state's gun laws the massacre was 'totally predictable'.
