La comunidad de Uvalde azotada por el horror de este evento es predominantemente latina. Según todos los relatos provenientes de la presencia masiva de periodistas que llegaron a la ciudad sureña de Texas en los últimos días, son personas trabajadoras que buscan una vida mejor: el sueño americano. Algunos tienen raíces profundas en México, un país donde enfrentamientos entre narcos han cobrado muchas vidas, pero donde no existen estos tiroteos masivos que experimenta Estados Unidos. La conclusión es que las armas de ambos países provienen del mismo lugar: Estados Unidos de América, donde los fabricantes de armas presionan para que los ciudadanos tengan acceso a portar armas.

The Uvalde community struck down by this dreadful event is predominantly Latino. By all accounts coming from the massive media presence that descended on the Texas town in recent days, they are humble, hard-working people, raising families and chasing a better life—the American dream. Some have deep roots in Mexico—a country where violence exists but that does not have the mass shootings that the U.S. experiences. But the bottom line is that both countries’ guns come from the same place—the United States of America, where gun manufacturers lobby to give citizens the access to carry weapons.
