The San Antonio senator tried to introduce an amendment to restrict online sales of assault weapons.
Sen. Roland Gutierrez addresses the media during a press conference where he introduced more gun safety legislation alongside families of who lost loved ones in the Uvalde and Santa Fe mass shootings at the capitol in Austin, Texas, Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 14, 2023.In Dan Patrick’s eight-plus years as lieutenant governor, it had never happened. No Texas senator had dared to appeal one of Patrick’s parliamentary rulings.
In recent months, Gutierrez has filed a series of gun safety bills and found himself stymied at every turn. So last week he threw a Hail Mary pass.'Not one more': Uvalde, Santa Fe families join hundreds of activists at Capitol gun safety rally Speaking with the barely suppressed combination of rage, frustration and anguish that has characterized so many of his public pronouncements since the Robb Elementary attack, Gutierrez told his colleagues, “This amendment is not a gotcha on politics. It’s about trying to do the right thing in a space that we need to do the right thing.”
“There’s one rule to being a legislator, and that’s vote your district and represent your district overzealously.”
