Texas Mass Shooting Reignites Gun Control Debate and Political Blame Game

Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar argues that the U.S. needs to understand the "root problems" of mass shootings, including mental health programs to assist those in crisis, rather than simply tightening gun laws. He points out that mass shootings can happen even in blue states with strict gun laws. The shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Texas over the weekend left eight people dead and seven others injured. Some Democrat officials have called for increased gun control measures, while Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has offered resources to investigate the shooting.
