Dr. Roy Guerrero, a Texas pediatrician who treated victims of the Uvalde school shooting at Robb Elementary School testified before Congress about his experience that day. Guerrero explained that he is a former student of Robb Elementary School and emotionally spoke about the need for gun reform.

#Uvalde #Texas #gunreform
Such a heartbreaking story let me in tears.
It’s sad also see the news don’t give him the respect he deserves when they mention his name only , HE IS A DOCTOR! After his name they should had put MD!!!! That is not Nice
His statement is pure poetry. ❤
Look at all the left wing bots in the comments. Lmfao.
THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY REGULAR WEIRDO PSYCHOPATHS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES IN THE USA TO HANDLE GUNS – THERE MUST BE SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH COMMUNITIES IN THE STATES FOR THIS TRAGIC RECURRING THEME – AMERICANS NEED TO LOOK AT HOW THEY RAISE THEIR CHILDREN AND THE MEDIA ND GAMES THEY EXPOSE THEM TO AS MUCH AS HALT GUN LICENSE TO CIVILIANS
In two weeks I will be a new pediatrician, taking care of patients on the front line. Will I too have to experience something like this one day?
guns dont shoot on their own now do they…blame game of fools!
We need more people like this man in this World. I continue praying for the families who will have a lifetime of pain to deal with.
Than go to Mexico..America We Have a Living Document The US CONSTITUTION SaysWE HAVE the God Given Right ..
Go Back to Mexico
Liberal feel free to Leave ,Your Fear and Tragedy do Not OverRide American FREEDOM
America needs to STAND against this Occupying Invasion of Nazi Democrats and their Foreigner Invaders
BOOO😾
I don’t think simply putting the age up to 21 to buy a gun is going to solve your problem America. FYI over 21s can do the same damage
Man…. Speechless. 💔
The gun lobby has politicians mostly Republicans in their back pockets.
The nra, i mean Republicans don’t care
I can’t fish without a license, but i can go to Walmart and buy an ar15, no questions asked? Something terribly wrong with this country
How many doors does his clinic have and does he have a permit for them?
The former homeland security suggested the only way these politicians are going to listen, is for them to see how those bullets tore thru those little bodies apart. Ukraine & media shows their dead everyday to get sympathy and support from other countries. US need an Emmett Till moment, they need a realty check on AR 15 carnage.
Dr Guerrero is a hero. As is Mathew MaCaulahy
First of all my prayers go out to all of the families that lost their children is this a terrible tragedy and this doctor has spoken with such passion and dignity
I would like to share something with those of you reading this I live in London we have just celebrated our sovereign 70 years on the throne and
there were many people booing many people protesting verbally but thankfully no guns
And here is the irony I live in a small suburb of London and I contacted my local police because of an invasion of foxes that are causing quite a lot of damage to my property and leaving faces all over the lawn and I was told that they cannot be culled
It is illegal for anybody to carry a gun to own a gun without a license and certainly to shoot any wildlife he would be in prison for doing so what a terrible irony

Even if un-activated, the domestic terrorist “(sleeper agent”) is still an asset and is still playing an active role in sedition, espionage or possibly treason(against the constitution) by virtue of agreeing to act if activated. domestic terrorist(Sleeper agents)which are political , civil, military and domestic law enforcement administrations care popular in participating in spying, espionage, sedition, treason, and assassinations.

The white male behind the doctor distracted me so much! The second time I watched this I just kept my eye on him and it’s amazing how he’s not even paying attention to the gravity of the words being said. Smiling and acting like this man is just talking about groceries or something it’s really disheartening and disrespectful.
The pink tie guy needs to be gone and NEVER allow him on camera again…WHY I’d he in view for this??
No sir. They are dead because someone decided to be selfish and do something foolish to all those kids.
Wow so powerful! God bless him! He is a true hero in every sense of the word! 🙏🏻❤️
We need gun reform laws? yes do away with gun free zones……..
And don’t forget the survivors hearing police officers outside the classroomchildnmpolkids inside the classroom to get the killer to use up his bullets on the kids incase one of them might get hurt because any police officer is more important then a innocent child and the sad thing is they believe it as well
He gave a voice to the voiceless.
Impeccable & powerful. Well done doctor, well done.
The lawmakers NEED to listen and hear what the medical providers see and have to say to a grieving parents. These doctors/nurses/first responders are the ones that see it all. Politicians really NEED to hear what the medical teams are saying. No parent should EVER lose a child in a horrific way when their’s room for change.
Amen 🙏
Gun reform will only hurt regular law abiding citizens. This includes minorities.
The man behind the doctor was so disrespecting and distracting.
amazing the republicans have NOT said just close all schools … why not just go back all the way
to the 12th century
Gun reform? Why? Does he and others want to treat stab wounds next because psychos and criminals will find ways of inflicting harm onto others, whether its with a box truck or a pressure cooker.
We need to tighten up on gun regulations, but where’s the call for mental health reform? The shooter was mentioned as someone who enjoyed hurting animals, clearly, signs of someone in need of mental health.
Who is the man to the right of the doctor testifying.
The man to the right of the Doctor was so disrespectful and distracting. He should not have been allowed in the frame. He was talking and smiling with someone beside him, it was so inappropriate. Who is this clown?
Wow
Dr. Guerrero also needs therapy to overcome this masacre. I can’t even imagine what police and medical staff saw that day.
Those politicians will not do their job. They are blind and deaf, their only motivation is the comfort and comodidades from the gun’s business. I don’t think they are willing to change that.
Need police reform
If this false flag scenario were true then all responding officers would be charged the OMISSION of a crime. Dereliction of duty, and involuntary manslaughter. So dont peddle this BS to me and small portion of our world that knows this was a shooter drill excercise that the Feds/fruck-ups are trying to use a guise to take away the “””AR-15″”. Thats desperately the first villian that the leftist socialist shitebirds are going after.
Let’s make friends for benefit
An 18-year-old is not mature enough to have a firearm. Unfortunately, whoever wants to cause any harm will always find a way. There are a lot of traumatized children for different reasons. Something must be done starting with people who have children and don’t take good care of them because they are too busy or simply choose not to. Mentally ill people are destroying our society 🙏🏻—no respect for life.
That’s a poor argument. Sure, he could have “found a way” but why make it easier for him? Gun restrictions won’t solve all the gun violence in our country, just the way restrictions for buying cigarettes or limiting where people can smoke won’t stop people from becoming addicted to tobacco. But passing common sense gun control will make a big difference.
why isn’t the gray headed man wearing a mask ?
Full respect for him that stands up for the kids.
Roman Catholic holocaust are Satanists and want to strip you of your rights and bow to their idols. They are against free speech, the right to bear armaments and have flooded this country with deadly drugs that have killed millions.
I know doctors see a lot of stuff, sick people, injured people, etc, but I don’t know how even a doctor can get over seeing the dead bodies of innocent children with their heads blown off. I can’t even wrap my brain around it.
If the police had done their job
That the great mayority of of th US population can’t change anything relate to guns tells you a lot about our so called democracy. We should not have to beg politicians, we are the mayority.
Zzzzzzzzzzz.
Omg I can’t imagine
It’s greed. The NRA owns these people. Until they are voted out this will continue. It’s unbelievable and a sickening. All they care about is the fat checks.
Hes seen things..
What does gun reform even look like? Does it look like the war on drugs, failure? More business for the Cartels?
I say put more guns in the hands of the people that know what safe gun handling and people will no longer go after soft targets
Such a powerful testimony.
Are we missing the central issue? Why don’t we see that there is no way out as long as we accept the pursuit of power as an absolute necessity? Isn’t it the same situation in which we assume the 2 amendment to take precedence above all? If something has the force of absolute necessity, can it yield even when it’s devastating? It has to be pursued by every means necessary especially the process of deception, cover-up & violence.
Bless him for testifying. The way to stop this madness is to vote Republicans out of our government, nothing can change until that happens. God help us do that ❤️🇺🇸🙏
Well done doctor. Now it’s time for Republicans to join Democrats in passing legislation that will save lives.
children would have been alive had Uvalde police would have shown a little courage.
Great speech, Dr Guerrero.
The people who produce weapons have blood on their hands.
The companies who make weapons are mass murderers of thousands of children,
and have blood on their hands.
Anyone who buys and sells weapons has these children’s blood on their hands.
Mitch McConnell has blood on his hands.
The survivors had to lay amidst bloody decapitated friends’ bodies for 72 minutes!
The doctor did a terrific job explaining himself. The sad thing is that it want make a difference. Politics and greed has completely dehumanized the way they think. Simply put they don’t care.
The only way we can “turn swords into plowshares” (see Bible) is to eliminate all weapons manufacturers and military immediately, so capitalists will say “but millions of Americans won’t have JOBS”! And right there proves why we must destroy capitalism, work for an oppressive WAGE or starve! Capitalism must be destroyed! Get it?
And capitalists are now eliminating all jobs with automation!
Capitalism produced communism!
Turn from your evil ways, USA!
NRA has their hands in these politicians pockets. At some point if they really cared… things would’ve changed already. Unfortunately, I don’t think things will ever change with guns in this country. At the end of the day, these things aren’t affecting them so they don’t care.
when your IQ is so low you think Criminals follow Gun Laws….
Do something cowards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did the parents not be there in person the American people who lost a child are listen by zoom so un-American but this guy does nothing makes sense he loves telling people what to do weird we ain’t giving up our 2nd amendment
What law is going to stop gun violence?
His message couldn’t be any better…. It was very clear and heartbreaking!!!
These words are powerful, shame to all the politicians…..
Very well said. How can any politician not be moved by this?
I hope young people are listening and can help make a change in this country. They are the future. The last 20+ years the lawmakers and political agendas of elected officials has failed our children. We need better.
It’s so messed up that you have to beg for these people to do their job like they don’t know better, or care enough to bother…
Impeccable speech Doctor but congress won’t listen, neither will they take any action.
When will the Uvalde police will be accountable for their ineptitude behavior?
If you aren’t biased and look at actual facts more guns are the answer twenty teachers all with full 30 round mags locked and loaded could certainly squash any attempt to bust up a school and it’s quicker than trying to find every gun cause remember there’s a very lucrative market for anything illegal in America and the cartels in Mexico would be more than happy to supply them
URGENT MESSAGE!!! PLEASE PASS ON!!!!! FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT RECONCILED TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF YEARS IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. THE BIBLE SAYS BEFORE THAT DAY THERE WILL BE A GREAT FALLING AWAY FIRST. DO NOT FALL INTO FALSE DOCTRINE. READ THE BIBLE THE SOURCE! SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND CALL ON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR LET THE WICKED FORSAKE THEIR THOUGHTS AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS FORSAKE THEIR WAY LET THEM TURN TO HIM AND HE WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON THEM FOR HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON! REPENT THE DAY OF THE LORD DRAWS NEAR! IT IS NOT TIME FOR FIGHTING OR STRIFE IT IS TIME TO SNATCH SOULS FROM THE FIRE. THEIR WILL BE WHALING AND KNASHING OF TEETH WHERE THE FIRE IS NEVER QUENCHED AND THE WORM NEVER DIES. DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELIST! PASS THIS MESSAGE ON! PRAY FOR REVIVAL AND SALVATION OF SOULS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!
So disheartening to see people say his speech will change nothing. Thousands of people are listening to him. He has a lot of influence, as do other advocates who are brave enough to use their voice. We just convince ourselves we are shouting into the void, which is exactly how the topmost in the status quo want us to feel
Enough said
MK ULTRA
The Second amendment in simple words: “The people who are members of the WELL Regulated militia have the right to bear arms and protect their town from invaders. Their rights shall not be infringed.”.
It’s not All citizens. Stop twisting the second amendment NRA and Republicans!
**GUNS only became available to the public because the Republicans won in the ROBERTS COURT in 2008 to legalize ordinary citizens to own a gun. 5 votes to 4. So YES, THE SECOND AMENDMENT CAN BE AMENDED. THE REPUBLICANS DID IT.
Sadly teaching and kids want to learn but at what price? Their lives, school used to be fun Politicians had the audacity to go on vacation now, put some new blood in their Get rid of the Geritol generation find people who believe in God 1st cuz it’s a few who say what they mean and mean what t they say. Lord! Keep a hedge of protection round ther children law enforcement and law abiding citizens in Christ Jesus name Amen
I bet this type of shooting happen at a private school, things would change
Make them see the pictures as the doctors, emt’s, and families see them. Words can only do so much for people in power. let them live through what they have saw. let them see it not just soley hear it.
You are a American and the right to carry a weapon. Pass the background checks and carry then maybe you can stop this from happening again.
Heart wrenching. Thank you Dr Guerreo
Valiente y sincero!!
Necesitamos más como él.
What a powerful speech. Compare this to the pathetic words from Ted Cruz, his fellow cowardly colleagues and the repulsive NRA. Like many, I am in tears hearing this. I live 10 miles from Dunblane in Scotland where sixteen 5 and 6 years olds and their teacher were blasted to death by guns in 1996. Britain took action. Why must children die because politicians cling to a ludicrous Constitutional Amendment written more than 200 years ago. Can someone tell me what part of a “well regulated militia” these mass killers belong to ? Am I missing something ?
😭😭
Sad that cat videos get more views than this.
Not guns. People. Write lawmakers to regulate Hellywood gun movies, Violent music vids/lyrics, Vid gamers.
I’m horrified this was just horrific why uvalde cops waited 77 minutes is just unfathomable 🤬😡🖤💔🥺
Wow, an, unemployed, troubled young man legally buys 2 rifles, magazines, and ammo, spending thousands of dollars! Then sadly he decides to take innocent young lives. Our prayers are with the families and surviving victims.
And prayers for the police involved, because listening to an active shooter continue to murder children, and know that if they had at least tried to rescue them, some might have survived! That would be a tremendous mistake to carry
And now to finish. Why is the first thing lawmakers want to do is take away my right to protect my family, land, possessions, neighbors and community
Yea but the uvalde police department failed on those innocent babies!!! They didn’t do anything to save them!! They need to get fired and sent to jail!!
Several years ago a school shooting occurred at the high school I attended. Except this shooting was done by the school resource officer (also a local police officer) who shot and killed a deranged man who entered the school, following a student who was late getting there. The school immediately went into lock down and the resource officer confronted the man who was armed with guns and intent on using them, in the hallway. She tried at first to diffuse the situation but when she was unable to do so she shot & killed him before he could endanger anyone else. The school was Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN. The officers name is Carolyn Gudger, and in my hometown she is a hero. She is the perfect example of what a school resource officer should be. A courageous woman who did her job, putting her life on the line for the students/faculty she was hired to protect. I was very disappointed that there was not a lot of media attention surrounding this incident, except for locally of course. I just really wanted people to see what a difference having a well trained, courageous police officer who takes their promise to protect and serve seriously on campus can make in these situations
Doing a good JOB is one thing.
Military or Constable. Gunny has a weapon and a Duty. Constable’s and Deputies have way too many rules.
