After San Bernardino nothing changed. After Orlando nothing changed. Hard to believe, but Robb Elementary is not the worst school shooting. Sandy Hook Elementary is. Of course, nothing changed after Sandy Hook, either.
The NRA sponsored Republican Party will not permit changes to be made.
The coverup has already begun in Republican controlled Texas. Most of the kids haven't been buried yet.
Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo was secretly sworn in as a city council member Tuesday night.
"Out of respect for the families who buried their children today, and who are planning to bury their children in the next few days, no ceremony was held," Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a
statement obtained by ABC News.
Republican Governor Abbott is calling for meetings in an effort to pretend something is being done.
"
In a letter sent on Wednesday, Abbott requested that both Lt. Gov.
Dan Patrick (R) and the state’s House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) each convene a special legislative committee to address the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde,"
The Hill reported.
The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the
massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's review of the law enforcement response, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The Uvalde police chief and a spokesperson for the Uvalde Independent School District did not immediately respond to requests for comment from ABC News.
"According to sources, the decision to stop cooperating occurred soon after the director of DPS, Col. Steven McCraw, held a news conference Friday during which he said the
delayed police entry into the classroom was "the wrong decision" and contrary to protocol." ABC.
On the Senate front matters are looking just as dire, or worse. For decades NRA sponsored Senate Republicans have blocked meaningful gun reform. It appears they will be doing it again.
CNN reports, "Mitch McConnell was asked about the ongoing talks over gun control legislation in the US Senate during an appearance in Kentucky on Wednesday.
"And his answer made clear why betting on something significant getting passed – even in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting –
is still pretty unlikely."
“We have a Second Amendment to the Constitution. We take it seriously. There’s the right to keep and bear arms in this country,” McConnell said. “And so what I’ve done is encourage some bipartisan discussions that are going on. In fact, I just had a call with one of the members of it to see if we can find a way forward consistent with the Second Amendment that targets the problem.”
That is political gibberish so typical of McConnell. He is the master at talking, but saying nothing. Clearly, his primary concern is the Second Amendment and "the right to keep and bear arms in this country,” not the 19 kids and two teacher who were murdered at an elementary school.
Republicans are expected to win control of Congress in the November mid-terms.
