What to Know About the March for Our Lives Austin Rally for Gun Safety at the Texas State Capitol Today?

 

March for Our Lives Austin Rally, Texas Capitol
March for Our Lives Austin Rally



March for Our Lives is rallying again on the Texas State Capitol steps, this time with the parents who lost children in the Uvalde mass shooting and survivors from the mass shooting at Santa Fe High School. 

Families from Uvalde and people from all across the state are gathering at the state capitol today to call for change to our state's gun laws.

On Saturday, more than a thousand people will be gathered here on the south steps of the state capitol for a march for our lives. They will be putting pressure on Governor Greg Abbott to change the age requirement to buy an AR-15 from 18 to 21.

Something like the AR-15 that the 18-year-old Robb elementary shooter used to kill 19 kids and two teachers. The changes some families from Uvalde and others will be calling for on Saturday include raising the age to buy an assault rifle in Texas from 18 to 21, which people who lost loved ones also called for at a rally back in June.

State lawmakers cannot change any gun laws right now since they are not in a legislative session. The Texas legislature doesn't reconvene until January. But organizers of this event say that is too long to wait and Governor Abbott should call a special session.

Hogan Miller says allowing 18-year-olds to buy assault rifles just doesn't make sense.

I'm 20 years old and cannot rent a car to pick up equipment for this rally, but I can purchase an assault weapon if I want to here in Texas.

And for some of the parents in Uvalde, this law and losing their kids still doesn't make sense to them either. A March for our lives is happening today at the state capitol from 11 to 1.

Joining us at 11am in Austin, at the TX Capitol South Steps? Here are some important reminders.

  • Parking may be available at the Capitol Visitor’s Parking Garage, along the surrounding streets, and at various parking garages around the Capitol.
  • Please drink water before and during the event. We will have water for emergencies, so please bring what you need to stay hydrated.
  • Keep Austin Beautiful! Please be prepared to take your trash and recycling off the Capitol grounds back home for disposal.
  • It will be HOT! So bring a hat, what you need to stay cool, and sunscreen. Again, BRING YOUR OWN WATER.
  • Remember, the Capitol grounds do not allow signs with sticks, so if you’re bringing characters, please bring them without sticks.
  • The Capitol prevents electioneering or campaigning on the grounds, please keep this in mind!

 You can watch the complete rally right here.

Sen. John Fetterman Breaks With Democrats, Praises U.S. Military After Maduro Capture

  John Fetterman Senator John Fetterman Breaks With Democrats, Praises U.S. Military After Maduro Capture Washington, D.C. — Democratic Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) emerged as one of the few Democrats to publicly praise the United States military following a reported large-scale U.S. operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife early Saturday morning. In a statement posted on X, Fetterman thanked U.S. service members for their role in the mission, highlighting American military strength at a time when most Democrats have remained silent. “Grateful for our U.S. military personnel that handled these orders in Venezuela with precision,” Fetterman wrote. “I maintain that we have the strongest and most lethal military in the world , and today proves that even more.” The remarks quickly drew attention online, as Fetterman’s statement stood in contrast to the broader Democratic response, which has largely avoided public commentary on the op...
