Texas lawmakers make strides in gun control legislation.

TL;DR Summary
More than 160 activists, including over a dozen relatives of Uvalde shooting victims, gathered at the Texas state Capitol to demand the 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, marking a win for the advocates.
