[quote=Anonymous]The hearings on Uvalde make me want to vomit.  These poor kids shot at like it's a warzone.  And before someone moans that nothing can be done, a gun control bill has just passed the House would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle (which the 18 year old Uvalde shooter did legally) and prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds (meaning that at least some of these kids would have been alive if we had better gun control policies in place).

An 11-year-old survivor of the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, Texas testified before the House oversight committee on Wednesday, as lawmakers continued to try to reach a compromise on gun control legislation after a series of devastating mass shootings.

The House hearing came two weeks after an 18-year-old opened fire at Robb elementary school, killing 19 children and two teachers, and three weeks after 10 people were killed at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.

Miah Cerrillo, a fourth-grader at the Uvalde school, recounted how she watched as her teacher and friends were shot and acted quickly to save herself. Miah covered herself in a friend’s blood and played dead until she was able to reach her teacher’s phone and call police.

In her recorded testimony, Miah said she no longer felt safe at school.

“Because I don’t want it to happen again,” she said.[/quote][/quote]
