(CNN) Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Sunday said school shootings aren't happening because of an issue with guns. Rather, he blamed the tragedies on a litany of other reasons, including abortions and violent video games.

Patrick praised Gov. Greg Abbott's plans for a roundtable discussion on how to protect students from gun violence after the nation's latest school shooting in Santa Fe, where 10 people were killed. "Everything ought to be on the table," Patrick said.
