Another shooting in Murica

In Florida they have now declared pornography a "health risk", while a motion to ban assault rifles was voted down.

was it not just a motion to discuss a ban on assault rifles

That's what I thought, but I then read an article stating that there was already a bill in the works and it was proposed to bring it forward so it could be considered.

With Douglas students in the gallery Tuesday, the Florida House voted down a motion to take up a ban on assault weapons such as the AR-15 used by Nikolas Cruz when he killed 17 people at the school on Valentine's Day.

The final motion vote was 36-71.

Democratic Rep. Kionne McGhee asked for a procedural move that would have allowed it to consider the bill to ban assault rifles and large capacity magazines. The bill had been assigned to three committees but was not scheduled for a hearing. The committees won't meet again before the legislative session ends March 9.

McGhee said that means the bill would be dead unless the House voted to remove it from the committees and let it be considered by the full House.

The washington press is vehemently anti-Trump but this text conversation between a kid and his folks at the Florida shooting gave me chills.
http://washingtonpress.com/2018/02/...t-convo-son-florida-school-massacre-unfolded/

In a harrowing op-ed piece for the Florida Sun-Sentinel, Howard S. Krooks, father to ninth-grader Noah, recounted the Parkland shooting from his end, describing what it was like to be sitting at his desk at work and then receiving the message that every parent dreads with all their heart:

“Dad, I think there is a shooter at the school I’m in.” “I think it’s real.”

“How do you know it’s real?” I ask, not knowing whether now is really the time for discerning inquiry with my 15-year-old. Do I just accept this information as true and react? I figure I’ll wait — let’s see what he says.

“I hear gunshots, right outside my classroom.”

How could anyone argue with that? I begin breathing deeply just to maintain some composure. What do I say?

“R u safe?” Wow. That’s really stupid. Of course he’s not safe. He’s in a school with a mentally ill person running through the halls shooting everything and everyone in sight.

“There was gunshots and there r sirens and we hear police in the classrooms.”

“R u safe,” I say again, desperately needing to know if he is safe, or as safe as can be, as events are unfolding.

“I’m in classroom.” “Police are here.”

“Is your teacher there?”

“Yea.” Thank GHod for that, I think to myself.

“Is there a cop in the room?”

“In the school trynna to find the guy.”

“R u underneath a desk?”

“Yea.” “They’re fighting him now I think.”

What is a parent supposed to say and do in this situation? What kind of world do we live in where Americans are put in a position where they have to give their school children tactical strategic advice for surviving a mass shooting?


How’s this for some fatherly advice: “Stay low to the ground, cover your head with a thick textbook, and if anyone with a gun passes by you, do not breathe or move and make it appear like u r dead already.” “Do not breathe or move.” What? Did I just write that to my son?

My wife, Robin, had a similar exchange with Noah during the shooting spree. Her motherly advice: “Stay under the desk, away from floors and windows and do exactly what your teacher tells you to.”

This is batbrick crazy, a law was passed to make it harder for the ATF to trace gun ownership,


They are not allowed to digitise the sales records, they have to work with paper.
 
How can there possibly be people like this?

you can't underestimate the gun lobby here, there are huge swathes of the population who believe the sandy hook massacre never happened and was a liberal conspiracy to change gun laws and now some of the florida students who talked with trump today are now "hired liberal actors", you can't make it up, well you can, its the land of the stupid where at 18 you can't buy a beer but you can buy a military assault rifle.
 
Dinesh D'Souza has a face I'd like to punch. That's only partly because of his actual face, mostly it's because of the idiotic stuff that comes out of his mouth.

Actually he doesn't have a face I would like to punch. Rather I would like to see Mark Hunt or Dan Henderson punch.
 
will the teachers have to buy their own guns too, like they do teaching supplies?

it's all so transparent, weapon manufacturers fund the NRA, NRA lobby against gun control and spread FUD, people buy more guns...

in the video I posted above there is a stat on how many gun shops are in the US, more than Starbucks, more than McDonalds, more than supermarkets, in fact more, than all three of those combined, its madness
 
National Rifle Association Executive Director and CEO Wayne LaPierre launched into criticisms of socialists, the FBI and the media Thursday, as he defended gun rights from the stage of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). His remarks came more than a week after the deadly school shooting in Florida that has sparked renewed calls for more stringent federal gun laws, and increased scrutiny on the NRA.

"We share a goal of safe schools, safe neighborhoods and a safe country. As usual the opportunist wasted not one second to exploit tragedy for political gain. Saul Alinsky would have been proud. The break back speed of calls for more gun control laws and the breathless national media eager to smear the NRA."

"The elites don’t care not one whit about America’s school system and schoolchildren. If they truly cared, what they would do is they would protect them. For them, it’s not a safety issue, it’s a political issue."

"They care more about control, and more of it. Their goal is to eliminate the second amendment and our firearms freedoms so they can eradicate all individual freedoms... They hate the NRA, they hate the second amendment, they hate individual freedom."

"They fantasise about more laws stopping what other laws have failed to stop. So many existing laws were ignored. They don't care if their laws work or not. They just want to get more laws to get more control over people. But the NRA, the NRA does care."

"You should be anxious and you should be frightened. If these so-called European socialists take over the House and the Senate and, GHod forbid, they win the White House again our American freedoms could be lost and our country will be changed forever, and the first to go will be the second amendment to the US constitution"

"We must immediately harden our schools. Every day young children are being dropped off at schools that are virtually wide open, soft targets for anyone bent on mass murder. It should not be easier for a madman to shoot up a school than a bank or jewellery store or some Hollywood gala."

"Schools should be the hardest target in this country. Evil must be confronted with all necessary force to protect our kids."

"Any American school that needs immediate professional consultation and help... should call the NRA's School Shield Program. And we will provide immediate assistance and we will also provide it absolutely free."

"Evil walks among us, and GHod help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids."

"To stop a bad guy with a gun, it takes a good guy with a gun."

Before LaPierre took the stage, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch said some in the media "love mass shootings."

"Many in legacy media love mass shootings. Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy. But I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold..."

Loesch, who launched into an angry tirade against the media, also said Democratic lawmakers, in addition to the media, are taking advantage of the shooting.

"They're exploiting a tragedy for an agenda. Shame on you. We call B.S."
