Quick Glance: Donald Trump will send more weapons to schools in the aftermath of the Texas massacre.
  • The NRA (National Rifle Association) annual meeting was held in Houston only three days after the massacre, which occurred on Tuesday around 450 kilometers away at a primary school in Uvalde.

  • "Der Grund, warum es nicht schlimmer war, ist, dass die Strafverfolgungsbehörden taten, was sie taten" he said.

  • You were unaware that the police were already on the scene, said the eldest.

  • Similarly to Trump, Abbott cited psychiatric disorders as a major cause of such behavior.

Quick Glance: Republicans' New Response to School Shootings: "Harden These Targets"
  • Following the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school, a number of Republicans have suggested that making it more difficult for gunmen to attack a school, rather than enacting stricter gun control laws, is the best way to prevent such tragedies from occurring.

  • Salvador Ramos opened fire on the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday, killing 19 students and two adults.

  • Former New York Police Department investigator Pat Brosnan, a regular Fox News commentator, stated that the school itself should be better suited to prevent criminals armed with guns from shooting children.

  • "We need to install man traps," Brosnan explained to Sean Hannity.

  • Don McLean and Larry Gatlin withdrew in honor of the dead, as teachers' unions joined planned rallies for gun reform in Houston.

  • Several musical acts who were scheduled to perform at this week's National Rifle Association convention in Houston have canceled out of respect for the victims of the Uvalde massacre, which occurred 279 miles west of the usually boisterous annual gun-rights gathering.

  • "Our deepest sympathies are with the families and victims involved in this horrific and evil crime," the N.R.A. stated on Twitter on Wednesday.
