Felix and Kimberly Rubio, mother and father of Lexi Rubio, who died within the Uvalde bloodbath, spoke to lawmakers about their more and more determined seek for their daughter – till they found she was among the many deceased. “Bus after bus arrived however she wasn’t onboard,” Kimberly testified.

Her and different members of the family drove to completely different hospitals on the lookout for her. “At this level, some a part of me will need to have realized that she was gone,” mentioned Kimberly. Her worst concern was later confirmed later. Tearing up, she pleaded for lawmakers to not “need to consider Lexi as only a quantity. She was clever, compassionate and athletic. She was quiet and shy until she had some extent to make.”

Closing her testimony, Kimberly mentioned, “Someplace on the market there is a mother listening to our testimony, considering I can not even think about their ache. Not figuring out our actuality will at some point be hers, until we act now.”

  1. Lexi’s future wasn’t just taken from her, it was VIOLENTLY TAKEN from her. Lexi was VIOLENTLY TAKEN from her parents. ASSAULT WEAPONS = VIOLENCE!!! BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW!!! BAN HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES NOW!!! RAISE THE LEGAL AGE TO PURCHASE GUNS TO 25 NOW!!! LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS TO BACK THESE MEASURES NOW!!!

  2. This was the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in a long time. 🥺😢Kimberly and Felix, I ache for you. I ache with you. I'm in tears, and I'm angry, over the details of the story you so eloquently and sincerely shared. Lexi — intelligent, compassionate, and a good student — sounds like she was becoming the kind of citizen every community should want. America sorely needs more of those traits.

    Kimberly, I concur with each of the specific changes you and millions of others seek. Please may your words land on compassionate, understanding, thoughtful ears for once, for precious Lexi and all the other children, the teachers, and the tens of thousands of other victims of gun violence in America in recent years.

    Politicians: Listen to her. Do you hear her pain?? Play it again. If you won't do something about guns, do something about the mental health issue you're so quick to point to — and for once rightly. It is clearly a big problem, but merely citing the problem isn't enough! It's too late to prevent this poor family's unimaginable grief, but it can prevent countless more. Take their pain home with you each night as they have to, until it sinks the hell in. Represent the people, as you were elected to do!

  3. ITS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT POLITICIAN

    IF ITS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT THEN EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD SHOULD OWN GUNS

    HOWEVER ITS NOT A GOD GIVEN RIGHT BECAUSE ITS ONLY IN AMERICA THIS RULE EXCISTS

    A RULE NOT WRITTEN BY GOD BUT INSTEAD AN AMERICAN MAN TO SUIT AMERICAN MANS NEED TO CARRY A GUN

    AMERICAN MEN CREATED THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND AMERICAN MEN IN 2022 CAN REWRITE THE SECOND AMENDMENT

    HOWEVER THEY CAN'T BE ARSED BECAUSE THEY PRETEND GOD WROTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT INSTEAD OF AN AMERICAN MAN

  4. Unfortunately these are all actors to play on your emotion like they do on a regular basis. Remember folks, once all guns are taken away from law biding citizens then America and the rest of the world will be defenseless to stop any take over of the people, these 300 million plus guns in America is our last hope of not having that happen!!!!!

  5. sorry for them. but they need to be holding the police accountable for letting the killer have free reign while preventing and physically restraining parents. bring up the mother that saved her children to later be threatened by the police to stay quiet

  6. Gun reform is URGENT! If you have to wait till 21 to buy a beer, why not wait to buy a semiauto/ assault rifle? WE DEMAND a gun reform, it's a start in the right direction!👍👍

  7. That was the most eloquent and powerful statement regarding the scourge of gun violence now sweeping our nation. Absolutely true: we can have so much compassion for these families…but do we realize it is OUR child that is next?😢

  8. Teachers and School Staff should be armed. All Americans should be armed!!!! No gun zone areas will continue to face these types of tragedies. Guns DO NOT KILL! It's the shooter who kills.

    And killers wanting to Kill will find any means and way to kill if that's what they desire with or without a gun. An armed society is a Protected society. These kids died because their teachers and staff members could not fight back to protect themselves of the children. They were unarmed.

  9. These 2 people definitely deserve the Academy award for best actors. I like most Americans have a really hard time believing any of this nonsense.

  10. Now is the time to up protection, then move legislation…….so this is out of order. Illogical.
    They can arrest parents/people for trying to save children during their lockdown, and they are trying to ban protective vests and plates, and now guns…
    Wrong order. Wake up, sheep.

  11. What a tragedy. My heart aches for these parents. But it hurts so much more because these children could have survived if it wasn't for the cowardice police afraid to do the job they swore to do. Each officer needs to be fired and charged with
    Negligence in the performance of their job.

  12. يآرب أتوسل إليك بحق إسمك الأعضم أن ترزق صاحب أليد التي ستدعــمنـــي با متابعة ورزق لاينتهي وتوفيق لانهايه 💖🕊.
