DALLAS — The May 24 mass murder at a Uvalde elementary school seems to be a call to action for Texans of all political persuasions. Elected leaders on both sides of the aisle say change is necessary and a sense of urgency is shared. But a clear divide is emerging over what kind of action to take. 'Blaming doors for killing 19 kids is a ridiculous excuse to try to avoid the real problem,' said State Rep. Julie Johnson, a Democrat from Farmers Branch. Johnson and fellow House Democrat Rafael Anchia, a representative from Dallas, attended a forum hosted by Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD on Tuesday.
