Uvalde State Rep. Tracy King (D) votes with (R) on guns.

"The longtime state representative has voted alongside Republicans on recent laws loosening gun restrictions. In 2019, he voted for a controversial program to increase the number of trained school officials who can carry guns on campus. And in 2021, he was one of eight Democrats in Texas’s House of Representatives to vote for the previously-mentioned legislation allowing people to carry a handgun in public with few restrictions — though House Democratic caucus and law enforcement groups strongly opposed it."

On the other hand, they may be willing to excuse, justify, grieve and move on without changing at all.
