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.

Trump Reacts To Mitch McConnell Leaving Senate Republican Leader Position

  Donald Trump In a recent press briefing held in Eagle Pass, Texas, the political landscape witnessed a notable development as former President Trump commented on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's decision to step down from his leadership position. Trump's response to McConnell's departure was characteristically candid. He stated, "Well, I hear he's not going to be the leader, and he's taken that step. A lot of people are calling me to politic for that particular job." This statement hints at the political maneuvering that often takes place behind the scenes, with individuals vying for influential leadership roles within the party. When asked directly about his interest in assuming the leadership position, Trump responded, "Would you like to be the leader? I think I might have to choose this guy. I'd rather be governor of Texas; I think you're doing well. I want to keep you in Texas." This intriguing response sheds light on Trump&

'The Republican Case Has Completely Fallen Apart': AOC Tees Off On GOP's Biden Impeachment Effort

  Photo credit: nrkbeta/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr The Republican Case Has Completely Fallen Apart': AOC Tees Off On GOP's Biden Impeachment Effort In a House Democratic press briefing on Wednesday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took center stage to discuss the unfolding impeachment efforts against President Joe Biden. Her remarks focused particularly on the recent testimony from Hunter Biden, which she characterized as a pivotal moment in exposing the shortcomings of the Republican case. Opening her statement with gratitude towards Ranking Member Rasin, AOC highlighted the pivotal turning point in the impeachment proceedings. She likened the Republican case to a "deep-sea fishing expedition" that had taken a severe hit in recent weeks. The revelation that a critical piece of information relied upon by Republicans was linked to a source in communication with Russian intelligence had severely undermined the credibility of their argument. AOC went on to
