Ali Velshi looks at the odd inconsistencies in how police authorities are explaining exactly how Tuesday's gun massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas developed from the first 911 call to the tragic outcome, and concerns by members of the community that the extensive training to prepare for the possibility of a school shooter was not properly managed when it mattered the most. Aired on 05/26/2022.
Beto O'Rourke, Democratic candidate for governor of Texas, talks about the changes needed to curb gun violence and his certainty that those changes can be made to happen by electing new political leadership. Aired on 05/26/2022.
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell speaks to Rep. Abigail Spanberger about how the high-capacity magazines used by the Uvalde shooter were previously only used by law enforcement officers and how studies show they contribute to more deaths during mass shooting events. Aired on 05/26/2022.
For years, Republicans have argued that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why the mass murder of 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, has again proven that Republican plan will never work. Aired on 05/26/2022.
Yes, the U.S. once had an assault weapons ban. (It expired.) Now, in the wake of the massacres in Buffalo and Uvalde, some Democrats are pushing to revisit the federal ban. But Republicans are rehashing their favorite argument: that more laws simply can’t prevent this kind of carnage. Mehdi says the evidence is compelling that it reduces the number of people killed. Rep. Ro Khanna, a House Democrat aiming to bring back the assault weapons ban, joins Mehdi to discuss. Aired on 05/26/2022.

In the wake of the murders of 19 fourth graders and two of their teachers in Uvalde, Texas, many Republicans are tying themselves into pretzels to point the finger at every single thing but the problem, which is lax access to battle-caliber guns. NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders joins Joy Reid with the latest on what may have unfolded during this tragic elementary school shooting, and growing questions about how local law enforcement handled the attack.
