I love America, but sometimes I find their. 'we know better' superiority complex just a tad infuriating...

"It's like @piersmorgan thinks Americans should take a Briton's view on guns seriously."

Jesus of course being a big fan of semi-automatic rifles. It's what he used to wreak terrible vengeance/judgement on those who betrayed him.

Matthew 26:31

Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

Nothing will happen while the NRA run the government.

Quote from CNN:


Parkland, Florida (CNN)The armed school resource deputy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, waited outside the school building as the shooting unfolded last week, officials said.
Scot Peterson never went in after taking a position on the west side of the building, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a Thursday afternoon news conference.

Peterson resigned after he was suspended without pay by Israel pending an internal investigation into his actions during the shooting that left 17 people dead, Israel said. Peterson was eligible for retirement.
Israel made the decision to suspend Peterson -- who was armed and in uniform at the time of the shooting -- after interviewing the deputy and reviewing footage and witness statements, he said.
"What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building 12, take up a position," Israel said of the video. "And he never went in."
So we have an armed officer on the sceen who didn't intervene and Trump is talking about arming untrained teachers to do his job instead.

Activists are demanding the National Rifle Association (NRA) reveal if it received donations from Russia, after it was reported the FBI is investigating whether a Kremlin-linked Moscow businessman channelled money to the group’s campaign to help Donald Trump win the election....
It was recently reported the FBI was focusing its attention on Alexander Torshin, a former member of the upper house of Russia’s parliament and currently deputy governor of Russia’s central bank, who is said to have a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The 64-year-old gun enthusiast is also said to be a Life Member of the NRA.

Re: Florida Shooting: 17 Students Shot dead in another Mass Shooting in the U.S

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/23/u...n-control.html

Excellent news.

Quote:
The governor (Rick Scott), a Republican, backed raising the minimum age to buy any firearm, including semiautomatic rifles, to 21 from 18, a restriction opposed by the N.R.A., one of the most powerful special interest groups in Tallahassee. The minimum-age limit already exists for handguns, and it would have prevented Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old shooting suspect, from lawfully purchasing the AR-15 the police say he used to massacre 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14.

Mr. Scott also said he would push to ban “bump stocks,” which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire faster, and would ask for $500 million for mental health and school safety programs, including requiring at least one armed police officer for every 1,000 students at public schools.

“I want to make it virtually impossible for anyone who has mental issues to use a gun,” Mr. Scott said at a news conference unveiling his proposals. “I want to make it virtually impossible for anyone who is a danger to themselves or others to use a gun.”

The N.R.A. said on Thursday that it opposes the age restriction. President Trump said on Friday that he supports it, and Mr. Scott said he had not spoken to the N.R.A. about his proposals.

Mr. Scott, who is widely expected to run for a United States Senate seat this year, also broke with the president and the N.R.A. by not endorsing putting more armed personnel in schools, an idea fiercely opposed by the students from Stoneman Douglas High.

“I disagree with arming teachers,” Mr. Scott said. “My focus is on bringing in law enforcement. I think you need to have individuals who are trained, well trained.”

The only coward is Trump for not standing up to the NRA and trying to.make a scapegoat of an individual public servant. It doesn't explain why this keeps happening again and again. Giving guns to teachers !? What planet is he on ? What if a kid steals the gun ?

Your dislike of Trump doesnt change the fact that the deputy failed to do his job.

It happened again and again under former Presidents..... what did they do to stand up to the NRA?

They are powerful and have been for a long time...because they have been allowed to get that way... I did not see past Presidents do much to curb their powerful hold...

Are they cowards too? Or are you just being your usual hypocrite self because it gives you another chance to have another pop at Trump?

And btw... That was no public servant. He apparently stood outside listening to kids get shot to death. He neglected his duty as a law enforcement official. Too right he was fired or resigned his post.

Also....Giving guns to teachers came from a suggestion from a parent of a survivor at that listening meeting on Wednesday, because guns are not going anywhere, I’ve explained why many times now. It is too late in America to ban guns, there is simply too many in circulation.
