Republicans' statements on causes of Uvalde shooting. Have I missed any?

Republicans’ statements on causes of Uvalde shooting:

1) too many doors
2) unarmed teachers
3) “woke”’culture
4) critical race theory
5) mental illness
6) video games
7) rap music

(Yes. Those last two came up again!)

Anything. But. The. Gun.
