Uvalde shooting pushes gun control to the fore in Texas governor’s race

The debate over gun control is taking center stage in the Texas governor’s race after 21 people, including 19 children and two adults, were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde earlier this week.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke made headlines on Wednesday when he confronted Gov. Greg Abbott (R) at a press conference, telling the Republican candidate that the mass shooting is ultimately “on him.”
