CNN town hall in wake of Florida school shooting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Ben Nelson (D-FL), Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL), NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch and Broward county Sheriff Scott Israel answered questions from survivors of the school shooting at Stoneman Douglas high school shooting, teachers and parents of the victims.
Gotta admit Rubio has balls to stand in a room, surrounded by thousands of people who despise him and everything he stands for, without any allies. It shows he is willing to essentially be crucified for the sake of trying to establish conversation.
VERY few human beings have the courage to do something like that, and I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for him.
DJApok It's a shame the audience didn't want to actually have that conversation. :(
DJApok agreed. I'm a Ted Cruz n Trump are my guys but Rubio was ballsy yes.
I personally like him but in this situation he and the NRA are in the wrong there’s no deny it we will win
@DJA Nothing to do with "guts"; just the calculation that the next time he runs for president, he won't face an opponent calling him a coward for not showing up. He knows that him showing up will stick in memory more than how embarrassing his performance was.
He was only alone cause he’s so called “allies” didn’t want to come it doesn’t matter what the audience did what mattered was the people who were on stage they wanted to talk and were listening and that’s what matters
I will give Rubio this, at least he had the balls to show up to this town hall meeting and answer question. All the other republicans are hiding in Washington
Ryan I totally agree. I'm a liberal, for sure, but I respect the guy for showing up when he knew he'd be the least popular guy in the room. I feel like he did a good job of practicing what he's preaching re: the need for people from opposing stances to communicate and compromise. I'd love it if he'd be for a ban on all assault weapons (as well as a good and proper definition of what should be considered an assault weapon), but I was happy even to just hear him say that he might be changing his stance on high capacity magazines..... Baby steps, I guess? At least they're baby steps in the right direction, though...
He is their senator he really has to go, would look terrible if he didn't go.
Too stupid to realize that Rubio is a goddamn SENATOR OF FLORIDA. You demoturds are goddamn stupid I swear.
Rick Scott was particularly gutless
Really? Such a low standard?! Trump did most debates, do you give it to Trump too?
I`m watching this debate about a year later and what`s left of it? Literally nothing. Does anyone even remember? American politics seriously makes me wanna throw up..
yea man, lke fr tho.. people dont want gun control still...
More gun control wont make a difference. Guns are already everywhere. You think people are just going to give them up? LOL law abiding citizens are the ones getting fucked. Criminals will always get their hands on firearms. Criminals dont obey gun laws. Thats why it will NEVER change.
@@maxxmatlock212 but gun control can help prevent others from getting guns like the dude who got 47 guns at the las vegas shooting LEGALLY and the parkland shooting... it will make a difference and it should be there
Dominik Baumgartner instead of taking guns AWAY they decided to give teachers right to carry guns at school that’s like a STEP BACK
@@shreyassaride194 first of all the shooter had 23 guns, and no matter how many guns he had, a person can only fire one or two at a time. there are already background checks on a federal and state level when you buy a firearm. more laws won't matter, as is evident in other states that have more restrictive gun laws. we already have over 20,000 gun laws on the books. we need less regulation so people can defend themselves against these types of threats more effectively.
the first kid looked dead inside and it broke my heart. siblings are rough with each other, i just hope he got to tell his brother he loved him before he died.
That's what I was thinking.
What a lot of people in the Comments Section don't realize is:
Those kids just survived an attack on their school.
A few days, prior to the airing of this video.
Of course they'll feel this way.
He looked dead inside because they think it’s totally fine to drug small kids and bring them up in single parent homes that is the problem learn some responsibility don’t sleep around don’t have kids if your unable to feed them yourself. These are the problems that need solved long before gun violence.
@@jonk6137 Huh? Who drugged him, how do you know he is in a single parent home. Very random
@@jonk6137 You sound stupid
@@johnnyjoestar7143 his mother died when he was young but he has a step mother
We need to stop dehumanizing people who have different opinions.
No, they need to stop having inhuman opinions.
KingZ whats the inhuman opinion?
I said it to trigger you SJW's GET REKT.
KingZ Shut your gob and attempt to bring peace to THE EARTH
Guys chill. The audience was not respectful. We must be respectful for them and lead a civil discussion in their place
Did I go down the rabbit hole? Why are they shouting down the VALID point that major mental health red flags were IGNORED?! You can't keep firearms away from every psychopath but a lot could have been done to address this particular gunman.
Ev Ye one of the survivors in another interview said "we weren't surprised when where TOLD who the shooter was. Not at all" that just means the expected it and didn't do a damn thing. I don't think the problem is one specific thing, it's a little bit of everything. It's not black or white, or red or blue. It's an array of colors and there is so much more to the story and the problem. It can't be solved with yes or no answers. And it kept pissing me off that the crowd was shouting things and wouldn't let them finish, and I understand the victims are upset but they need to let them answer or they will accomplish nothing. I have so much respect for Rubio because he didn't start yelling and throwing a fit when people wouldn't listen to him. And the guy in the middle, he was dodging every question and kept answering with "let's just get the guns off the street" even if it had nothing to do with the question. At least the other two actually answered (or attempted)
The shooter was reported to both the police and the FBI. It's them who didn't do anything.
Ev Ye 👏🏻
True story. Not a single damn thing changed with gun control
Couldn’t have said it better myself
@@waterblog If the teachers had guns, would the shooter have killed any of those kids? No. This would be like trying to shoot up a gun range.
From what I can tell its that in america you have a right to own a gun its not a privilage like driving a car, it is a right. That have to change if you want to see real gun reform
Now 2024 nothing Happens 😢only bla bla bla
This video was made two years ago... and NOTHING has changed. That’s UNACCEPTABLE
did you think it was? literally nobody there gives two shits apart from the victims, not CNN and definitely not the politicians. Your political system has gotten worse, most of them are sprouting Q Anon nonsense or playing party politics.
Because nobody presented anything good
Because all movements in the wrong direction die out.
That is in large degree down to the debate not ebing about the attributes of the gun, how to prevent ILLEGAL guns, how to prevent criminals from getting guns.
When the aargument is to ban assault weapons and then giving the reason that a non assult weapon is used or looks a certain way?
Are all subaru Impreza rally cars, or ar ONLY rally cars, made for Rally actually rally cars, should we than ban a car for LOOKING like one?
What is worse, being shot by a 5 round revolver or a 15 round semi automatic, you are just as dead, and I am sure your family is just as sad.
As to a school shooting, the shooter is determined, this means that if he has o gun at home he goes and gets a gun illegally, now how does making a law so that prevents a shooter from having a gun at home prevent hime from getting one illegally.
Scenario: I have been having thoughts of shooting up my school, I am determined, BUT there is LAW out there preventing me from having a gun at my home?
Does this prevent me from going to shchool and shoot everyone? No in no way does it prevent this.
Since I am determined I now seek out criminal elements and buy a gun. I then take the gun to school and shoot people.
The solution: is to really not solve the problem, by demanding a law that serves no purpose.
After all bank robbery is illegal................do people rob banks? But how can they it is illegal?
Crminals do not care about the law, ergo making a gun law will not in any way prevent people from getting an illagal gun.
Also by the argument that becuse someone used a legal gun to kill a dozen kiids, this was BAD, but the same argument will then by default also say that had he brought an illegal gun and killed the same dozen then everthing is ok, after all it was not a LEGAL gun, and maybe it didn't "look" a certain way
Stop commenting on your soy boy alt David Hogg.
Sheriff Israel...your deputies stood outside when these young people deserved an immediate response from your staff. You should be ashamed!
And removed from your position.
Plus, in that rebuttal by Sheriff Isreal said (in his 39 years of law enforcement) that he and his deputies have taken weapons away from mentally ill people in the past. Well, his department visited Cruz's house 39 times...why didn't his experience enact the same response? If the Sheriff is so good at protecting people, he had ample opportunity to do so in that case. I call foul on the Sheriff and his political agenda.
Glenn Quagmire agreed this is just a further Testament that you need to own guns to protect yourself cuz the police are incapable of doing it for you why trust your lives to them when they failed the simple task
Two people wearing "police" type uniform WERE in the room with kids when shooting took place. Was shown on video from phone but has been taken down. No reports on claims of second shooter by students. WHY??? Plenty of time for these stage productions, but no time for real reports?????
He should resign if there is any accountability any more
they didn't go in because there was no shooter.
Didn't like Rubio during the election but he has some big balls going to that....
scott ellam not so big he can't realize that weapons are indeed dangerous
Yeah... I still hope Florida votes him out though
Props to Rubio
If he behaved, like this in the election
I think he would've done so much better
Not really the NRA probably told him to look into those magazines.
“Be the voice for those who don’t have one” that gave me chills
You know that is a slogan from the pro life movement right?
Yes law-enforcement failed why won’t they realize that
Kevin Shauger yeh seriously that’s what pissed me off the most if your gonna blame anyone, blame them. It’s pretty obvious their just using this to push their own agenda I hate this so much
In one mass shooting. What about the other 100’s of mass shootings ?
@@haer8570 Yup they failed in most of the other shootings you hear on the news also, you won't hear anything about when the police do stop a mass shooting those kind of stories don't get ratings and views.
Because that's not the narrative. The narrative is guns are the problem.
That's an easy question. The answer is... Drum roll please.... It doesn't fit their narrative. Yw👍
The crowd is only hearing what they want and not listening objectively.
it's what happens when you invite kids and immature adults
Skaarf Is A Badass. Well the kids are the victims. They have every right to be at this gathering.
I think you are right. However, remember they were just victims of a terrible tragedy, and are understandably not particularly looking to hear other viewpoints at that time.
Remember they aren't the only ones seeing this. You and the other 750 thousand people who saw this video also heard the logic and reasoning spoken that night.
Very Disrespectful on the part of many of those minors AND the adults who enabled this CNN setup. True mob mentality where emotionalism supersedes rationality. Loesch needed a private security team just to get in and out of the building.
Too many liberals in the audience. Get conservatives in there to balance it out.
Wooowww...... Deflect much Sheriff Scott Israel? You guys dropped the ball. PERIOD.
But also that NRA bitch was trying to make him responsible for every police officer's failure in the entire US. Seriously? HE didn't fail to enter the building. And HE suspended and investigated the guy who did. Yeah, he fucked up. But it's real convenient to try to blame him when the heat is turned up on you and you know your organization specifically pushed to end the very legislation that you are now claiming would have helped prevent the tragedy. Bitch knows damn well they worked to soften mental health provisions in the background check and reporting laws. Sooooo manipulative and dishonest. That's why everyone was booing her. She was just mean spirited and rude and full of crap. Trying to butter up that young student at the beginning. Greasy as hell.
Janessa Welch I'm shocked to see so many anti-gun types applauding a cop lol.
At least both agencies took responsibility by admitting it, when is Trump going to do the same? He blocked Obama-era background checks on the mentally ill.
Like the Terror watch list the NRA HAD to fight the laws because they did not allow the restoration of rights once you recovered OR if you were on the terror watch list by mistake... the NRA is very consistent and by the books...."NO guns for nut-os"
Like the Terror watch list the NRA and TRUMP had to fight the laws because they did not allow the restoration of rights once you recovered OR if you were on the terror watch list by mistake... the NRA is very consistent and by the books...."NO guns for Wackos"
2 years later nothing has changed
except Bill Nelson lost reelection.
NRA is going down
state law was passed, but its not enough
@@kmc3851 what is NRA?
Kaitlyn Bennet has left the chat
how are these people not roasting the local law enforcement for failing to properly protect them after they had so many red flags about this person?
Right.
Because liberals don't wanna research anything they wanna blame the gun not the people who did it or the people who didn't prevent it
Because of woke culture. The law enforcement guy said what people wanted to hear "guns are bad" who cares what the real problem is go along with the narrative and you get rewarded. Also the questions were all obviously written by CNN and given out to people before hand so of course none of the questions are going to stray from the narrative CNN is trying to push.
They all had their eyes fixed. Comments prepared. The father who lost his daughter, after his questions, when Rubio was speaking, the audience attacked and he smiled. 🤔
Oh that's easy to answer. Because it doesn't support their narrative. Yw👍
Tbh I really respect Rubio for his courage to go to this event. He knew he'd be roasted by 1000s of people, and he still went and held his ground. This crowd is also really toxic, it seems like they only came here to talk about what they wanted, and refused to hear what the other side had to say. Stuff like this is the reason why American and it's people can't push back criminal behavior, and bring about positive change.
Beastlypelican45 it's not courage, it's literally his job to listen to and represent the people of his state
no po his job is to make legislation. He did not have to be here. I personally have no clue why he did. He was the only republican member of the senate out of the 50 members
Tropics 317 His job is to represent the people of the state of Florida. This is how you represent them. You go to them. You listen to their views. You discuss. It's in the job description. This isn't bravery. He said it himself.
Beastlypelican45 you are a fucking idiot
What the hell are you taking about .. 1000s of people who lost someone by bullets of a AR-15 .. how can this country even discuss or argue about this? these type of guns are to kill people .. not for sport or collection .. I am just ashamed that people hide behind the 2nd amendment and play with kids and other lives ... Look past this country at the world .. and see how they manage this ..
I’m a conservative high school student. Let me say that guns aren’t the problem. Our society has done a terrible job of promoting personal responsibility.
Joshua Young I’m a liberal highschool student. you can’t remove mentally ill people, but you can remove guns.
Liam Murray I like the way you think
A.J. Fuller

Did #GOP senators and #trump keep their promises??
On #gun control???
By the ways Rick scott looks like a MESSED up nazi infantry dude 🤮
The people yelling in the crowd are just being detrimental to everyone.
Getrundina Melow I understand that. All they did was kill time for others to have a chance of speaking and possibly address whatever they were yelling about. Go to counselling, therapy, loved ones etc., not at a forum to attempt political reform. What they went through was terrible yes, but yelling and being a nuisance was disrespectful to all who want action.
I think they have every right to yell. Get fired up America!
No what was stupid when somebody proposed an idea like better background checks, better mental evalutions to keep the insane from obtaining firearms.....crickets. A person just says "ban ar 15s!" And everybody just loses their minds!
This is a circus... They can't even finish their words before the whole crowd starts to scream like wildlings.
That audience is on the intellectual level of the Jerry Springer studio audience. Logic is not their area.
Ronaldo Williams I'm starting to see why the kid wanted to shoot up the place. Bunch of liberal pansies who let their minds get controlled by their emotions. No common sense at all. Democrats bank on these emotional jerks and play on their emotions every chance they get. Future votes for the Democratic party
Exactly even the kids speaking were interrupting her
Ronaldo Williams they were bused in and rehearsed this will disappear closer to the mid term elections when the liberals realize the backlash..just as with the black lives matter and occupy wall street totally ceased!
did Hilary and bill show up? were they invited ?obomba Michelle? did he mention they declined ?.
Can people be real about this issue that NRA do not control what people do with a firearm
Theaterishish Ava the NRA aren’t “giving away” guns to people. They are a political pro-gun organization, meant to represent gun owners. That’s it.The NRA is not responsible for the background checking of weapon purchases. The NRA does not provide, nor advise/direct what weapons people buy, nor how they use them.
They are simply an organization of people who are pro-gun, wether for hunting, sport, self-defense, or training, or whatever other reason. No one at the NRA *wants* a school shooting. Just look at the video, anyone representing them gets crucified simply because of some inaccurate assumption that being pro-gun means being pro-murder.
@@goofyguuk1966 now you see the lack of knowledge of these people who want to change what they know nothing about.

Come on, have you seen some of their ads.
No “weapons of war” or “assault rifles” were using in this shooting. These people need to be educated….
Sorry, the design of the AR was for military use, they were turned into civillian versions with the exclusion of a trigger pack enabling burst or full auto. Nothing else differenciates the two (which are not impossible to attain), the ammunition difference hardly matters when you have zero body armor protecting you. You can buy a mod 0 kit and anything else to have the exact same product as you see on any special forces (military) image - with aftermarket suppliers giving you access to parts of very high quality.
Anyone who ignores this needs to be educated.
@@MT-lv3ls so they’re not weapons of war, no army would give their army a semi-auto rifle…. Thanks for reinforcing my point 🙏🏼
@@dfjdskf9234j4fisd You do know that no army today trains in full auto, it wastes ammo and is inaccurate. Go and use full auto in the Army, you will get hit so fast you'd swear they full auto'd your ass it got kicked so damn quick.

The reaction of the people in the audience keep pissing me off. I want to hear the conversation, not their reactions.
This is what I call the two minutes of hate scene from 1984.
It’s a pep rally.
Honestly this thing would have been a half hour shorter 🤣
Lisa Bella
What are they cheering about? It is a free country and they can do what they want but when they cheer and boo it becomes more like a football game. If they really were traumatized I’d expect them to listen to the conversations and not sound so much like a mob. It’s ironic that the farther in time we go from the shooting the more we find that government incompetence at all levels was by far the biggest factor that allowed this shooting to happen.
Lisa Bella
I said it is their right. It’s just hard for people like me to take them seriously with an obvious mob mentality. Do you think during a criminal trial people in the gallery people are allowed to boo and cheer? I think I can understand what is going on without your help. If you like this style of interaction good for you. Many find it distasteful and I find it less than serious.
What about psychological services? Clearly, our society is fractured. We need stronger families. Let's look at the root cause. What is causing people to kill? Let's figure that out!

As a democrat, I can say Rubio did a great job speaking in a whole room against him he tried even with all the boos..this is what starts change dialogue
Alex Rivera Respectfully, my fellow American, I disagree. What starts dialogue is being able to listen to your opponent without interrupting him or calling him a murderer. This was a dog and pony show, not a debate. These people did not want to debate.
Richard Rychetsky I don't know what show you're watching Rubio is not being truthful if you know anything about guns you know about gas recoil and there's difference saying that I don't believe guns the problem but I believe in being truthful
kiss keep it simple stupid of course Rubio is being truthful, you might not agree with his solution but basically half the american people do. Show some respect dumbass
I really liked how you told him to show respect and then called him a dumbass.
Rubio changed his stance on several issues in order to please the crowd. I suppose this is what most politicians do, but I was embarrassed for him. They all still wanted to burn him at the stake in the end regardless.
I don’t like Rubio but I commend him for basically going into a room all the people in it against you and still give good answers
Philippe Hunt yeah, they were after him and I think he raised a lot more awareness around some issues people were previously not aware of. I think he killed it, but he also got caught up by some of the students because he didn’t have a clear answer
He's their senator. That's his damn job.
He gets paid multiple hundreds of thousands a year to work essentially 3-4 months a year. No, he gets no credit for that kind of shit.
Nick Jermichalesactionjackson and Hillary Clinton gets millions a year from law firms, oil companies, and foreign countries and people try and claim she’s brave for writing a stupid book where she blames everybody but herself for her 2016 loss
This is why we can't find common ground. Good God, you people are so blinded by party allegiances. You'd probably be pissed if he didn't show up. Why is it that most liberals I encounter act like spoiled children throwing temper tantrums. He's something that will surely piss you off and I don't care, it needs to be said.
We should not be basing policy off the opinions of children. No one denies that they've lived through tragedy and I'm sure everyone empathize with them. But their experience in this matter does not substantiate their opinion over mine and I've been researching political topics for well over 2 decades. I'm sorry, needs to be said. The fact you liberals are putting these kids in the forefront as the voice of our country is disgusting and as soon as you call it as such, they turn around and say we're cruel. You're all being duped and exploited by your political masters yet again. You people really are slaves to this system.
We stand with Marco Rubio and Trump!!!! We support the NRA 100%
Brought tears to my eyes for all the families that have to endure and suffer through tragedies like this...and here it is years later and another shooting in Texas....after watching this video I got very upset and infuriated that many changes still need to happen!!! Do something already!!!!!! For the sake of the children and their futures!!! Do something already!!!!

Its amazing how easy it is to make people tools of idiocy and theft of public life and wealth. You parrot what your masters say because you think it's the smart or right thing to say. My NRA book describes taking cover. Not running into a gun fight with a pistol against an AR. When you see events on TV or in the street this has always been how law enforcement has handled these situations and still is. Pure hero fantasies to expect otherwise. More lives will be lost and teachers will be targets, have to leave their kids to go get shot instead of locking doors, and the kids wont be able to get near teachers because the teachers, all of them regardless of concealed weapons or not, will be potential
perceived threats by the shooter. Thank you to Trump for saying that teachers are going to shoot the hell out of them. Trump slaps a bullseye on their back gives them a p shooter and says go get'em while saying we can save money on security. Trump is a sociopathic ventriloquist dummy for the NRA. 700,000 more teachers with guns in schools is the plan he is promoting. He talks like a common person but I really hoped for a smart president.. Are we going to start ridiculing and firing teachers who don't run fast enough to their likely death with a handgun against an AR? They will be the new targets to blame when children die an expected to engage even while officers are trained not to. Officers shoot unarmed compliant people very quickly at one end of the spectrum and there are heroes like you want them all to be but that isn't their training. If you want guns pulled from anyone who has a complaint made about them or seems a little off, lets get that into law and start ripping back some of these 300 million guns out there. I am sure law enforcement would love to make the streets safer for themselves.
I didn't see a solution in what anything you said. Just a giant list of improbable things that have to all go right to get to your fantasy ending after kids have been shot. Schools have long open hallways that are easy for a shooter with a rifle to control despite the imagined perfect response scenario. Nobody has said what teachers will be expected to do specifically yet but Trump said they would save money on security so that sounds a lot like running towards the gunman. Going into the school for LEO's isn't as simple as get 'em and they are too late to get there anyway. Plenty of other ways to set schools up to lock down a shooter, protect students, evacuate students. locking doors, corridors, safe rooms, patents for desks with armor. Im not suggesting a huddling mass of unprotected children. Non lethal weapons distractions. smoke. Use you brain you seem to have one but you have to put that peanut to some wider thought than a hero with a gun fantasy. And just so we're even, Moron. lol
You say government "FAILED" then go on to excuse the people running the government from responsibility. How does your brain work like that? There is no hope if the people in charge don't believe in government or that they have no responsibility. The groups you've named and Trump are in charge and refer to half of Americans as enemies ( Trump, the NRA, the 2nd Amendment, Conservatives, Constitutionalists, Christians, patriots, guns nor their accessories,) but they aren't responsible for failures you say? Leaders in power who only blame other people and more than half the country is weak. Patriots don't call half the country enemies. I have saved all kinds of people and I don't care who they are. You can't even have a conversation without hate, blame, and lies spilling out to maintain your perfect irresponsible stance. The NRA had congress remove the law in 2017 that required the SSA to report to NICS people so severely mentally disabled that they couldn't manage their own social security checks. The NRA and therefore its GOP talking parrots do not want the things you say they do. Hipaa does not get in the way of mandated reporting of abuse, a threat to self, or others Like NRA Dana Loesch claimed. I could go on and on but since you are just picking sides and absolving the people in power of responsibility there is no point.
Here we go the false accusation of a fabricated insult I never made to a person to try to discredit me. This is why it is dangerous to have a discussion with people like you. Your mind creates all sorts of perceived insults and victims who's honor you'll have to what avenge through more lies about me? Sounds like a good guy of course you imagined I said something bad about him to begin with. Your thinking is delusional and you should not have a gun if you do. We are done discussing. I won't be reading anything else you write because you are dangerous and for my own mental hygiene.
Rubio was the only one up there not repeating himself for every fucking question
Anyone else coming back after the Texas school shooting just to see how it was in fact nothing but talk
It's 4 years later. What has changed?
so let me get the liberal logic correct...the fbi is notified that a guy wants to be a professional school shooter, they do nothing at all, and somehow guns are the problem? maybe liberals need more education possibly??
paul thomas as a devout conservative will you help legislate that education? Because after Republicans have made every attempt to cut taxes in the last 50 years, there's not enough money for even adequate standards of education. It's a joke on account of Conservative voters.
CHRIS TALKS CRAP you can’t blame shitty schools on Republicans that is so dishonest and ignores so many other factors besides funding
@@iheartlreoy8134 Sure. But Republicans, unless they are big-time philanthropists, do next to nothing to help. They're the anti-education, anti-labor union, pro- mass shootings party.
paul thomas true
Guns are definitely part of the problem moron
I really wanted to watch this town hall meeting - to actually hear ALL the thoughts and opinions - but, no, this was NOT a town hall to discuss how to make our schools safe; it was a bashing of any idea that wasn't of an already held democrat position. What a sad waste of an opportunity for an honest, thought provoking , discussion of ideas to make our country a safer place to live. I commend Senator Rubio for having the courage to stand on that stage and speak - when he was actually allowed to do so, without being rudely interrupted - about some solid ideas that could be implemented in order to make all of us safer. Congressman Deutch, who, sitting on that stage, took every opportunity to sneer and show distaste for anything Senator Rubio had to say, was an absolute representation of partisanship, and as such, is a prime example of why real and needed changes, through legislation, cannot be passed in this country.
Susan Warren well said
Agreed
I was a junior in high school when this happened, and although it was across the country, it shook everyone here. I watched my normally stoic criminal justice and civics teacher break down because of what happened in Parkland. She's the one who taught us the constitution front to back, she supported the second amendment, but she told us she never wanted it to get to the point where teachers needed to be armed.
I wish I could vote for Marco Rubio, He is a awesome guy to show up to this set up town hall against the 2nd amendment.
He's part of the problem.
This cop is saying what he needs to say to get applause lmao.
Pretty much all of them are.
LMFAOO i thought this same shit
Except Dana. She was just talking sense. Sounds like the NRA has the answers and are willing to help but politicians don't want to give up power.
That sheriff is a total D-Bag panderer- his department dropped the ball
He's a corrupt NYC POS that moved south.
i don't get it. These children want to be taken seriously yet they continue to interrupt and speak over those they are questioning. That isn't a conversation at that point. Nobody is going to listen until they actually learn how to speak to people and hear the other side.
I agree
When they ask a politician on live television a question and the politician deflects it, I think they have the right to re-emphasize what they are asking.
The students, by and large, were respectful and asked the audience to be quiet enough to foster conversation so that they could form rebuttals.
Taking the question Rubio was given about NRA funds as an example; Rubio did not answer yes or no, instead hoping to paint himself in a better light. It was perfectly acceptable for him to be called out for not answering the question's point.
victoriacocoz they interrupt because they’re not given answers, they’re upset. They lost 17 of their classmates for god sake. Of course they’re going to be impatient, they want answers. People such as Rubio and the NRA representative don’t directly answer the question but completely avoid it. They weave their argument to make u believe they’re answering when in reality they change the topic to avoid the question.
victoriacocoz they avoided the questions
Ceiel Phantomhive They were given answer just not the answers they wanted to hear. They want Rubio to say yeah were going to ban all guns and start rounding them up from all Americans tomorrow, but thats not what republicans were elected to do. Republicans believe in the 2nd amendment. If they want to hear that they need to go talk to their liberal democrat politicians.
Disagree with Rubio all you want, he's the only one that was actually answering questions, explaining his stance, and giving details to the bills he supports. The others just kept repeating "something needs to be done" ok but what?other than banning the guns, what else? the first kid asked what is being done to specifically make the school safer, there was no answer other than "we will collaborate with the local law enforcement" who literally waited outside while these kids were getting killed.
Watching this again 4 and a half years later, and a week after the sentencing of the Parkland shooter. I will start by saying this… in 1993, when I was a senior in high school here in Brooklyn, NY, a student was stabbed and killed in the hallway. Even though it was an isolated incident, metal detectors were installed pretty much immediately. We had to go through them every morning as well as having random scannings. As kids, we all felt like it was an inconvenience, but as an adult I feel like the school 100 percent did the right thing. Unfortunately, we live in a time where every single school in this country should have every possible preventative measure installed. And don’t even get me started on the gun issue!! On another note, I give all the credit in the world to the family members and students who got up on that stage a week after the shooting!! I probably would have been curled up in a ball in my bed.
That is what the NRAs shield programs does. Thanks for agreeing with the NRA.
@@dru70292 I wasn’t even going to respond to this but I have to… all I did was write about my high school experience and that schools should do the same for their own safety… ESPECIALLY if these monsters like the Parkland shooter will still be able to get AR 15’s!! So obviously that’s the OPPOSITE of what you responded with!
@@randinatkowitz2487 Yeah and you mentioned metal detectors at schools, which is what the NRA recommends. So you agree with the NRA.
@@dru70292 why don’t you reread my original comment?? We wouldn’t need metal detectors if we didn’t have guns or knives brought into schools in the first place!!! Kindly don’t make assumptions about what I’m saying!! Because you couldn’t be more wrong!!!
@@randinatkowitz2487 Guns and knife are already banned from school.
If you are advocating for metal detectors then you agree with the NRA. Sorry you can't handle that fact.
"18 year old kids should not have a rifle". I agree, 18 year old kids shouldn't be able to enlist in the military.
The crowd is obnoxious. If you want to actually have a discussion, you need to let your opponents speak. You're not going to get anywhere by screaming whenever your opponents make a point.
I just had this same argument with someone...Make the legal age to own an “assault rifle” 25, but only if our government agrees and excepts the legal age of enlistment is 25 as well...but we all know that’s never going to happen.
AmericaTheBlind I'd prefer, if we are changing these numbers, to be 21. Or, move the drinking age to match at 25. Same with tobacco, gambling, driving a car, etc.
Oh, and voting, too.
That’s fine...I’m down with 21, but it’s asinine to say a child who knows nothing and ignorant to life can go fight a war for political and financial motives at 18, but can’t buy a gun or drink etc. Whether its 21 or 25 the age should change...even though I don’t think that’s going to change what’s happening in our society, and eliminate these mass shootings.
How do you expect to have your argument heard if you don't give the person your trying to change to finish a sentence? It's disgusting.
Sinfull that's because it's not a platform to argue. It's there to virtue signal and give the angry mob a face to hate.
The whole thing was scripted anyway
@@pylotlight I see you've never been to any sort of debate or debate class ....you always write your shit before hand
Ron DeSantis giving Scott Israel the boot was one of DeSantis’s best moves.
Let's pass a law that makes murder illegal. Problem solved.
Rubio , you got the Balls man..
mayank patel He's actually selling out. Little by little eroding our freedom for a little security in exchange for money.
+John Smith And you erode my freedom to own a firearm that has protected my family multiple times? Everyone wants security, but who gets their security taken away? that's the issue here.
My opinion is that we should not push the gun control debate at a national level. Push it towards state level and maybe even local. That way people can decide the rules in THEIR town and state. You think Texas wants to get rid of their rifles? You think the people in Chicago (you do not want to be walking there at night) want to throw out their handguns? However, I'm sure some states would like to ban guns entirely, and that's fine. It's their state rules, and their people can decide.
The gun issue is way too big for the national government to handle. Divide the issue into smaller and more easily manageable chunks with each state and town deciding their own rules. The people who like their guns can keep it. Those who are against it should ban it. Those who think stricter regulations are sufficient, so be it.
However, this solution is another obstacle to go through. Changing the 2nd amendment to cater towards this solution will be a long and difficult process, but I strongly believe that this will ease tensions on both sides.
Jim Kim look man. I don't want to restrict access to firearms to law abiding citizens. But i don't want people who should not have guns to get them. So i think we should change the second amendment to say the rights to have access to arms shall not be infringed.
I think if anyone want a 2nd class weapon. (Ar-15, HCAR , Ak-47 etc) they should get a referal by a psychiatrist to say that they have evaluated you a non danger to others or yourself. As well as firearms training and the guns should be locked up. Its not treating you like a criminal its like a drivers liscence. Like a car a gun is a tool but like a car there should be precaution and not everyone should have the right to operate or own one.
Jesse brunelle I completely agree with you. There should definitely be stricter regulations on the process of acquiring a 2nd class weapon, and I believe that the process to acquire weapons like the ar-15 is way too easy, especially for those who have the intent to harm.
However, at the moment, those who voice that assault rifle bans won't solve the problem and that preventing criminals from getting them is the solution are being drowned out by the (understandably) high emotions the victims are running on now. Not to mention that anti-gun media are doing their best to spread their opinion among gun protesters. Neither side is willing to listen to the other, and that's what's extremely worrying
Jim Kim this is sadly. The case for every aspect of our politics. Creating gridlock. Lobbies and partisan media (FOX, MSNBC ETC) Have put our democracy under pressure and suppressed our voice as americans. Pinned us againts each other and enabled outside hostile powers. (Russia) to exploit this system to create even more division... scary times we live in.
Why don’t we STOP pointing fingers, and resolve this issue...
Freedom 1 we’re all ears if you have a plan.
Your all in my pryers. I pray for safety and healing in this world. From Australia 💛
It’s unfortunate that a large percentage of the public cannot think critically.
I don’t think this audience was purely anti gun or one sided.
I think it was a room full of hurt and grieving individuals which over anything we should acknowledge and show some sympathy for.
Yes of course but it’s not right to point fingers at ones who don’t deserve to be accused.
Rubio has fair points but people just keep hating. He’s not as bad as people make him out to be, that crowd was really toxic.
Bazz "toxic"
Rubio basically said that he would rather take money from companies then save human lives
So if someone gave you millions of dollars to vote on laws in their favor you mean to tell me you wouldn't do that? Ok so if getting rid of ARs is not the solution then why don't he stop taking the NRAs millions to at least appease his constituents so they don't look at him like he's doing the NRAs bidding? Another thing is that countries like Japan 🇯🇵, Australia 🇦🇺, and the UK 🇬🇧 have tight gun laws and mass shootings are non existent. So that very fact shows that Rubio can do more to represent Florida so to say he can't do much is nonsense and the fact he take the NRA's money makes him look even worse. Especially at this town hall with the words coming out of his mouth.
Toxic is being bought by the NRA as opposed to protecting the people.
I'm not sure these stupid brainwashed zombies qualify as "people"
They applauded the loud mouth sheriff that didn’t do his job by protecting them kids. Remember kids 39 complaints went to the department and they didn’t do nothing about it.
10:29 well, unfortunately here we go again 4 years later.
Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
iDIMi he also said I was a bitch and hit me on the playground when I was 7
wtf lol
was he right tho
You are the moron. They knew all about tyranny. That was the whole fucking reason for the second amendment. An unarmed society is a society of slaves to their government, not free people. Free speech is the first and the second protects the first.
No moron. The people "who are unarmed" are not slaves to the government as long as they live in a nation where they can be if they chose to. You liberals don't listen or understand. And you go from one extreme to the other. Talk about being a dumb cave man. If people don't want to be armed, that is fine. It's a personal "choice". It doesn't make them slaves. I do not advocate that "everyone" should have a gun. Actually I am happy liberals don't like guns. Most of them are angry violent people that rely on emotion too much. And would be risky gun owners because they can't control their aggression and hate everyone that disagrees with them.
When the whole society is unarmed " because the government makes it illegal" to have a gun. Then you are in a society of slaves. You dip shits just don't get it. A free nation is an armed nation. An unarmed nation is a nation under the control and authority of their government. Just like in Stalinist Russia or NAZI Germany. FREE people have the "RIGHT" to own a gun. You are too stupid to understand a basic concept like this. So I am glad a fool like you doesn't like guns.

Wow right? Would be fun to watch.
I am watching this now after the Uvalde school screening. UA-cam recommended. I just started watching, this is powerful. CNN and other media needs to hold these forums more often and ask the elected officials questions. Let these elected officials hear from all people in their communities, not just listen to their supporters.
Yess me too it’s a shame because these kids were begging lawmakers to let their school be the last massacre. Unfortunately it fell on deaf ears because 21 lives were lost in uvalde.
They talk and talk and nothing happens

To close every loophole you have to ban every semiautomatic gun

Sheriff Israel sat there, on this fucking stage, and tried to say that the shooting was the NRA's fault... When he ALL READY KNEW that his office and other Law Enforcement entities failure to act was what caused this. You cannot complain that there are not enough laws regarding gun control when you are not enforcing the laws WE ALL READY HAVE that would have been MORE than sufficient to keep this, and other incidents of it's kind.
Virginia Tech: Mentally issues established, nothing reported/investigated.

"Do you believe guns should be banned?" Yes? Cool! you're in!
Trump refused to come, the Governor of Florida refused to come and an NRA spokeswoman came.

Stanley George
Nazi is an acronym for National SOCIALIST German Worker's Party. (In German) Obviously a self-declared socialist worker's party is very clearly left-wing.
Contrary to popular belief, fascism can be most accurately defined as the political belief that the state is more important than the individual. This belief is what allowed fascists to justify pursuing "racial purification" of humanity. They considered the individual rights of those they killed as less important than the greater good that they fervently believed would come to humanity through the supremacy of a certain race. Essentially, fascism focussed on community, rather than the individual, which is undoubtedly a hallmark of the left wing.
Also, the right-wing is always considered to be more focused on religion than the left, and fascist states were bitterly opposed to religion. The Nazis actually set up a religion called positive christianity which incorporated racial elements and the swastika, and was intended to gradually move Germany away from Christianity toward "mystical Darwinist vitalism" based on ancient Vedic (aryan) rituals. Mussolini was forced to cooperate with the Catholic Church to some extent because the Italian people were overwhelmingly devout Catholics. However, on a personal level, Mussolini was always very contemptuous of religion, and often privately referred to priests as "black flies".
Finally, when fascism was on the rise throughout Europe, it was the ideology of young liberals, based on bold new ideas like eugenics that conservatives shunned.
Mussolini, like Marx and Lenin, saw the party as the vanguard of the working class, a force from without the system that would usher in change. Mussolini was in fact a member of the socialist party of Italy, although he broke with the party on the issue of neutrality during World War I. It was later that Mussolini thought to combine socialism with nationalism, and form a new party. He called the combination “fascism.” A fasces is a bundle of rods, each individually weak while the bundle is strong. Mussolini’s counterpart in Germany called the combination “national socialism.” In Germany, where they like long words, this became “Nationalsozialistische.” In America, where we like short words, this became “Nazi.”
Adolph Hitler was in many ways like Mussolini. Hitler, like Mussolini, was a great admirer of Marx,and was originally a member of the socialist party. Hitler, like Mussolini, served in the army of his country during World War I, and both rose to the rank of corporal. Hitler, like Mussolini, said that the members of the working class were not easily drawn to revolutionary socialism, but were responsive to a combination of socialism and nationalism.
The new national socialist parties of Italy and Germany clashed with the communist parties of those countries. This was a clash of rivals both of which were revolutionary socialist and had the will to power. Then, when the traditional conservative, liberal and democratic socialist parties were in decline, the national socialists rose to power with the support of certain industrialists (we would say “crony capitalists”).
The main difference between Hitler’s form of national socialism and Mussolini’s concerned the meaning of “nationalism.” Hitler thought of nationalism along genetic lines, while Mussolini thought of nationalism along cultural lines. American progressives were, at the time, sympathetic to both points of view. Woodrow Wilson was definitely in the racist camp. Theodore Roosevelt in the cultural camp. Family planning, abortion and forced sterilization were part of the agenda, along with establishing labor colonies for the undesirable elements of society and using public schools to indoctrinate the next generation. In Oregon, the KKK was successful in outlawing private or religious schools until the Supreme Court ruled that to be unconstitutional.
Then came, with the end of World War II, knowledge of the horrors that the Nazis had unleashed upon the world. Certainly, American progressives did not want to be associated with that. So, there was a whitewash of history.
The connections of American progressives with the KKK, forced sterilization, experimentation on prisoners, advocacy of labor colonies, internment of Americans of Japanese descent, and admiration of fascism had to disappear from history. Even more, fascism and racism were redefined as right-wing, instead of left-wing.
that is a GOOD piece of DEFLECTION that has NOTHING TO do with this issue in this society. If the Nazis were so leftist why were they supported by "Conservative right-wing christians?" And why start those death camps for people who were ethnically different? Why so much racism like the KKK? Don't tell me that the KKK is a leftist group? Both are racists and conservative "good christian" right wing shitbags! Just because they used a good idea of nationalism regarding taking care of fellow citizens basic needs does not automatically make them "leftists." Nazis/Hitler hated the Communists Russians.
And by the way, GET THE F*CK OUTTA' HERE WITH YOUR UNRELATED BULL$H!T!!!!!

1. First of all, yes you are correct that the formal name of the Nazi party is the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, however most historians, and really anyone who actually understands the definitions of fascist and Socialist, agree that the name speaks to the image that the Nazis wanted to project, and not what they actually espoused. They wanted to attract workers and lead them away from the Communists, so they projected an image of egalitarianism and individuals' rights, and not the image of raw totalitarianism that they intended to act on. So in actuality, the Nazis rebranded themselves to win power, and were so NOT "clearly left-wing."
This guy, an actual teacher and historian does a better job of explaining the misnomer. www.google.com/amp/www.indy100.com/article/nazi-socialist-right-wing-white-supremacists-history-twitter-mikestuchbery-7900001%3famp
2. There is no community under fascism. Fascism preemptively tears down community before it can interfere with the interests of the party in power and the state. Saying that fascism focuses on the community is crazy naive. A fascist state makes sure your neighbors are the first ones to turn you in.
4. You're correct in saying that Mussolini was a leading figure of Italy's socialist wing, and that he opposed the Socialists' objection to war, however you conveniently leave out that he was kicked out of the party for this very reason, and that by the time he became known for the personality we remember him for, he was completely against socialism, fought against socialists and covetted authoritarian power, which goes against the foundations of socialism.
5. It's just so wrong to see Nazism as a form of, or an outgrowth of, socialism. Not only was Hitler not a socialist himself, nor a communist, but he actually hated these ideologies and did his utmost to destroy them. A good source that talks about this is Richard Evans book, The Coming of the Third Reich.
6. Again, national Socialists and Socialists are not the same thing! Everyone say it with me now. National socialists want superiority. They focus on ethnicity, more specifically race, to build pride in one's people and nation. National Socialism is an oxymoron that gets bundled together with socialism, whose aim is equal distribution of the world’s resources among all its peoples, only in name and not in ideology.
7. Progressives weren't the only ones who approved of Japanese internment, many other ideologies were also on the train, however I agree with you that eugenics is an unfortunate detail in America's history of progressivism. Just one of the many consequences of social darwinism that somehow attracted people in the 1920's. Although, the fact that you're associating fascism and the KKK removing religion from schools with today's progressives is so utterly stupid. What does someone think when a Republican politician today says "we're the party of Lincoln?" They think the comparison is retarded, because it's so out of touch.
Nice try with the misinformation campaign, though.
so cringey to watch at times
I fucking hate that Cameron kid and the dad that stood up to talk to Rubio at the beginning, I fell bad for what happened to them and I know they are emotional right now but they are both just idiotic leftists who literally think Rubio is as bad as the shooter. These are the people who the media is pushing as the “revolutionaries” of the movement.
that's what happens when you have a generation that eats tide pods to lead your "revolution"
Hey Donny, stop trying to belittle the future of America with uneducated remarks. these children are standing strong to fight for what they believe in and use their voices. you have no right to take their voice away.
GhostofAlanGrant Nope. Those kids spoke with an eloquence and dignity that I would not have if I were in their position.
Laura McNeill I'm what way did I attempt to take their voice away? Did I start a petition? Did I attempt to persuade my congressman to ratify the first amendment? If children want to play in the realm of adults fine, but by god they will then be open to the exact same scrutiny you and I both enjoy out in the world of open ideas.
The sad thing is that there is no psych eval or questionnaire or anything that will effectively identify everyone who may do something like this. Some of these mass shootings were done by people who were the last people you would have ever suspected.
Guns is not problem but school ragging and harassment is big problem
I don’t agree with Rubio but man did I gain respect for him for doing this!
The teacher is asking for id badges, bullet proof glass, metal detectors... She's on to something right there...
My school doesn't require that. You want to know why? Because it's the firearm owners who need id badges.
do you know how much that would cost?
You understand how much that shit costs? And for every school
Tim Hossain nra is offering school shield grants to schools 🤷🏽♂️
My issue with this is finding out that one of the student survivors of this shooting who was supposed to be part of the question and answer refused to go because he said that a CNN producer replaced the questions he wanted and to ask with one that they gave him instead..!?!
Senator Rubio is correct if you want to ban every gun that can do what the AR-15. Did that's every semi-automatic firearm in the country because all semi-automatic Firearms function the same
Then it will lead to civil war
Turning 19 magically makes someone sane.
The change is from 18-21, and, on average, there is a difference.
I love how these same people applauding the sheriff for wanting less guns in the hands of citizens and more power for the police are the same people that just a few weeks ago were crying about police brutality and the cops having too much power.
thats exactly what i was thinking. they think cops are pigs unless they insult an NRA member
The thing that people like you don't seem to understand is that nobody thinks all cops commit brutality. See most people can separate groups of people from the actions of a few. I completely disagree with that sheriff on giving police more power to commit people to mental institutions though. I can see so many things wrong with that when the comes to the "bad apples" who will misuse that authority. That should be left up to psychiatrists.
Actually, I take that back. There are people who mistrust all cops due to a long history of bad experiences. That doesn't mean those people are in this room though.
Thank God Cameron didn't have that question thrown back in his face when he told Rubio to tell his friend he will live to serve in the military. I was terrified he was going to be told not to tell someone what to say.
I can imagine it's been so hard with the trial happening right now. I'm praying for all of you every night. ❤️

Sheriff Scott Israel should be held responsible for this !! he knew of this kid's behavior. his department was called on him over 39 times..
the FBI had multiple tips..
the whole school joked about him being a mass shooter... there is no excuse. 1 domestic violence call is all it takes to get a regular person from owning guns for 7 years.
why did they not have him do a psychological evaluation after being called 39 times?
don't let Scott Israel shift his incompetence unto gun laws . IF he ENFORCED EXISTING LAWS ,THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
Pete Holmes He was all for blaming the NRA...until Dana stepped on his toes & he was like “no one’s to blame but the shooter”🙄
wlfrnfdjf You right tho
Didn't know all that.
Hell, the high school cop wouldn't even confront the shooter, and was suspended without pay, and then resigned after that. How embarrassing for law enforcement all the way around. Now I know no one wants to die, but I thought that was part of the job description, "when crap hits the fan, you go into battle."
But hey, everyone says we should just get some teachers to arm up. Cause armed and trained deputies don't want to face taht kind of fire, but teachers should, or hey, maybe some volunteer veterans or National Guard troops. Nobody wants to face the reality that a gun is not a shield or a kevlar vest. A gun won't keep you from getting shot. Armed guards are not the answer.
If teachers should just teach then policemen should police, sheriff. Meaning they should go in there and engage the active shooter. Sheriff.
Goddam I’m not a crier, but when I saw the picture of Alex in the shakko (the band hat) I burst into tears because that’s the first time its really hit me that this could happen to me and all of my friends. No one is safe anymore.

How is it that they want to avoid 18 yo having guns but an 18 yo can join the military and shoot a gun overseas? 🤔 not buying it.
Willa Wonka Your problem is you’re expecting them to make sense or have any form of foresight.
in military you get instructions on how to handle a fire arm and to respect it when you have one on you
schouvler15 😂 good point, they’re doing the usual
Quille Sanders honestly... if all of that happens I’ll probably be super old and have lived my long life or not have a chance in comparison to a nuke. Between now and then I can at least do my part and try to be a more connected, understanding and healing individual those are the changers in the world, not some money hungry politician. Like Ghandi, Oprah, people who pushed envelopes for women’s suffrage etc it’s bigger than just politics, you can’t fight anger with anger, you need the opposite. At least that’s what I think. 🤷🏾♀️
Willa Wonka... Which is exactly why they DON'T want to change the age from 18 to 21... makes no sense.
There are 140 million guns in rural america. Given that number, the number of homicides in rural America is EXTREMELY low. We know the story in inner city. Shhhh.
You mean Democrat ran cities? Most gun deaths happen in their city's then anywhere else.
And EXTREMELY high compared to countries without gun rights
Doke Goderie = Fake Announcement.
Small price to pay.
Paul Nehlen should be here.
So, how screwed up should that make me feel when I search for "mass shooting" on youtube thinking I will see some information about the El Paso and Dayton situation just to see another town hall meeting with exactly the same freaking content but about Florida a little over a year ago? Can anyone tell me how screwed up that is?
As a democrat, I actually think Marco Rubio spoke very well in the beginning. I do give Rubio credit for having the guts to simply show up at this forum. At least one Republican had the guts to show their face to that group of people.
The problem is, four years later….. and the number of mass shootings in general have gone up. So where is the action, besides for the actions that the shooters have taken?
even the host looks disappointed with how it turned out
Banning all guns would work out great just like how prohibition and the war on drugs have worked so well in history
Comparison is absolutely baseless. Unlike the substances you've mentioned, guns are neither used for relaxation, nor are they addictive. General populace doesn't just use the black market to buy guns on a similar scale, as evidenced by countries without free access to any of them.
Killers will be creative and find other ways to get the job done once they take guns how bout they take away cars. Cars are not a need but sure nice to have around just incase, just like a firearm.
Arthur Raine and I really do like shooting my gun it does relax me.
Peter McGuine you're a bigoted fuck
Oscar Avalos why is that?
Lots of ignorance displayed in this video.
Wow, I have such respect for Dana to totally keep her cool in the face of these screaming people, who are doing nothing but making illogical, impractical demands based on emotion ALONE. I would have been hard-pressed to not let it show on my face how deplorable that level of ignorance is. 1:29:20 AMEN.
Melanie V S Fuck the NRA! They don’t care about the future of our kids. They’d rather whine and complain about their guns. What you are saying makes no logical reason. These kids want to make sure NO ONE has the fear of being killed while at school. In Australia, there was ONE mass shooting. After making an effective gun reform, since then, there has been NONE. This just serves to prove the US needs an efficient gun reform. People in the military should be allowed to keep their guns, and the “Fix-Nix” bill should be passed in order for a stronger background check. These kids started a revolution and no one can stop them. Let that sink in.
Most of the nra people make emotional decisions because they LOVE their guns
They're the fascist. Indoctrinated by the liberal education systems media Hollywood movies tv shows etc. Very similar on how the fascist in Nazi Germany came into power. They were indoctrinated by their schools and when they heard about Hitler that became their saint.
@@benda6675 they treat them like holy remnants
I mean.. they were high schoolers and parents that watched their friends and children's lives get ripped away from them within minutes exactly a week prior to this debate but okay. Get back to me when or if that happens to your kids.
