Greg Abbott BOOED By Angry Mourners At Uvalde Shooting Victims’ Memorial

Texas Governor Greg Abbott was dealt a healthy amount of boos and jeers from mourners and protestors during his appearance at the Uvalde school shooting memorial outside of Robb Elementary School. Abbott has played an instrumental role in loosening gun restrictions, funneling funding out of mental health services, and backing down on any sort of menial gun control methods.

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was met with boos Sunday as he arrived at a memorial site for victims of the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, which sparked a nationwide wave of grief and anger over lawmakers' persistent—and industry-funded—inaction on gun violence.

"We need change, governor!" yelled one member of a crowd gathered at Robb Elementary School as Abbott, a Republican who just two days earlier delivered video remarks at the National Rifle Association's annual convention, arrived at the site.

"Shame on you, Abbott!" others shouted at the governor, who has overseen and approved the GOP-dominated state legislature's further weakening of Texas' gun regulations in recent years even in the wake of deadly shootings.

The Texas Tribune noted last week that "in the last two legislative sessions, Texas legislators have loosened gun laws, most notably by passing permitless carry in 2021, less than two years after mass shootings in El Paso and Odessa took the lives of 30 people."

Annual child gun deaths in Texas have more than doubled during Abbott's tenure."
