Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and other Republicans resisting calls to toughen gun laws after the Uvalde school massacre think they have identified the real issue behind the rise of school shootings: too many doors.
Cruz in interviews this week repeatedly called for schools to install armed officers, even though the 18-year-old Uvalde shooter reportedly "outgunned" three armed officers before killing 19 children and two teachers. Cruz then argued that law enforcement could have stopped the gunman if there was just "one door."
