A week after the deadliest school shooting in Texas, several dozen teacher union officials, parents and other education advocates marched Tuesday to the downtown Austin office of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, demanding he support “sensible gun regulation.”
Attendees walked from the Texas AFL-CIO building to the J.J. Pickle Federal Building, where Cruz’s Central Texas office is located, screaming chants such as “Hey hey, ho ho, these dangerous guns have got to go.” People also held signs that read “Books not guns” and “Protect our students.”
