“I want you to imagine when you hear the news that your son ain't coming home ever.' Parents of children killed in school shootings gathered at the Texas State Capitol as part of a nationwide bus tour.
The Olivers plan to visit almost 25 cities in about 50 days, but may be going to more cities as mass shootings continue to happen across the country. The Associated Press reports 30 so far this year.
"We go to city to the next city to see where innocent people were shot. Do the math, think about it, it could be an eternal tour, because since we left Parkland, many mass shootings have happened so far," Manuel Oliver said. Parents and victims joined them at the Capitol on Monday on this tour stop. "I understand that this is the building where political inaction happens in Texas," Manuel Oliver said."I refuse to let my daughter just be another number," said Gloria Cazares, whose daughter was killed in Uvalde.
"We're not going away and every session that you guys decide not to do anything to try and prevent gun violence, we add more families to the people behind me," Cross said.
