Texas lawmakers make progress on gun control measures after recent shootings.

More than 160 activists, including over a dozen relatives of Uvalde shooting victims, gathered in Austin to demand the Texas legislature take action on gun reform. The protesters chanted "raise the age" and "do your job" at lawmakers as they headed to their offices. The House Bill 2744, which would raise the age to buy assault rifle-style weapons from 18 to 21, passed the Community Safety Committee and is now on its way to the House Calendar Committee. The bill has been a win for the advocates, including the Uvalde families who lost children in the May 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary that killed 21 students and teachers.
