We Cannot Replace These Precious Lives, But We Can Replace Those Who Refuse to Protect Them

Washington, D.C. – Following the devastating shooting of Uvalde elementary school students and educators, U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) released the following statement:

“When Abbott, Trump, and cohorts are celebrating the gun lobby on Friday, too many families will be mourning their loved ones. So long as weapons of war are more accessible than a driver’s license, endless massacres will occur. So long as Republicans serve the gun lobby and two Democrats facilitate their obstruction, we can educate and seek accountability, but we cannot stop the killing. We must turn anger into action, replacing those who refuse to protect our children. We cannot replace these precious lives, but we can replace those who refuse to protect them.”
