Uvalde By a whopping 2-to-1 margin, Americans say it is “important” to “pass stricter gun laws” in a poll taken after the Buffalo mass shooting, and published the day of the Uvalde, Texas massacre. It’s a chilling sign of the times that barely enough time passed between last week’s terrifying racist attack in Buffalo and yesterday’s horrific massacre at an elementary school in Texas for a public opinion poll to be conducted. President Joe Biden addressed the nation about the mass shooting of elementary school children on Tuesday night. Fox & Friends hosts were among those who praised the speech. Tucker Carlson was not. Morning Joe blasted negative reactions to the president's remarks. And had words for Joe Manchin, too. CNN's Erica Hill broke down on air, as did Fox's Ainsley Earhardt. Texan and actor Matthew McConaughey issued an emotional call to action, and Whoopi Goldberg is fed up with thoughts and prayers. Ben Shapiro expressed support for background checks while Cenk Uygur slammed Democrats. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern talked to Stephen Colbert about her nation's reaction to gun violence - a fascinating conversation. Among American politicians, there was some less engaging debate. But back to that poll. Respondents were asked “how important, if at all, is it for elected leaders to do the following? Pass stricter gun control laws.” A full 59 percent said it was either “Very important” (41%) or “Somewhat important” (18%) to pass stricter gun control laws, versus 32 percent who said it was either “Not too important” (13%) or “Not important at all” (19%) to pass stricter gun control laws. Maybe instead of all those bold names above it's those numbers that should be listened to? Find latest Uvalde coverage here. In Other News...
