A mentally ill man was at a press conference in Uvalde, Texas between Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick, Sen. Cruz and the Mayor of Uvalde and city and state officials. They met with grieving parents, friends and grieving citizens of Uvalde. The meeting was to comfort, heal and help this community try to move on and allocate state resources to help individuals and and first responders and getting counselling to all who need it. The mentally ill man known as Beto O' Rourke disrupted the conference after Abbott spoke and before Patrick placing blame for the school shooting solely on Abbott, Patrick, Cruz and others in the room. The screaming, out of control man was safely escorted out of the auditorium by police as the Mayor of Uvalde demanded he leave with a few choice words for him. Once again a rabblerouser bought politics into a grieving, heartbroken community.
Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws.
Federal Law
Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”

NOTE: It has been determined that those with gender confusion issues are mentally ill. All things considered, the same should apply to those in governmental positions, as well as potential candidates for public office, such as Beto O' Rourke.
