   Gun rights not at risk in wake of school shooting, Texas governor says   
      
   Greg Abbott launches talks on school safety but vows to protect '2nd Amendment   
   rights'   
      
      
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was set to hold a series of meetings Monday on how to   
   combat school violence, three days after a 17-year-old killed 10 people in the   
   fourth-deadliest mass shooting at a public school in modern U.S. history.   
      
   The attack at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Tex., came a little more than   
   three months after a 19-year-old shot dead 17 students and educators at a   
   Florida high school. That incident intensified a long-running national debate   
   about gun rights and    
   sparked a student-led movement under the slogan #NeverAgain.   
      
   Abbott, a Republican and staunch supporter of gun rights, said he would talk   
   with educators, parents and elected officials about ways to improve school   
   security without infringing on the right to bear arms, which advocates say is   
   protected by the Second    
   Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  (.....)   
      
   Mike Collier, a Democrat running for Texas lieutenant governor, expressed   
   skepticism that the talks would bring significant change.   
      
   “Dozens of Texans have been killed in massacres just six months apart ...   
   and our state leadership feebly announces ‘roundtables,’” Collier said,   
   referring to the November shooting of 26 people at a church in Sutherland   
   Springs, Texas.
