Ted Cruz blames unlocked doors and not guns for Uvalde school massacre

Social media is in uproar after US senator Ted Cruz blamed unlocked doors rather than guns for the Uvalde school massacre. The Republican called for increased security, including hiring armed police officers, as a precaution following the killing of 19 children and two teachers in Texas, and refused to blame US gun laws during an interview with FoxNews.

He told the broadcaster: "Enough is enough," but Twitter users blasted his response to questions about the tragedy. MaiTai replied: "The school had both of these and this still happened."

MikeBookey tweeted: "The police were there with their guns and did nothing." While @cdbammer added: "The problem is easy access to guns. Schools haven't changed."
