    We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.

        You are grossly underinformed about this issue, madam. I suggest a bit more research before attempting to undermine one of the most positive and influential leaders the world has seen in recent decades.

        It is truly sad how people will mindlessly follow such hateful rhetoric, so much as to attack the people who really do good in the world, just because those people are seen as "opposition".

        And yet we expect Donald trump to fix gun control and if it doesn’t happen, it’s his fault. But it’s ok that Obama failed to fix it.

        Can I honestly break this down? Obama couldn't fix this because the Republicans were against him. Trump CAN fix this because the Democrats are already on board, and he's a Republican which means he can get the GOP on board.

        Most republicans don't support gun control (given that it has little effect on reducing crime as criminals will always find ways around it, and it will do more harm than good), so the only Republican support that Trump would get from this, would probably be from RINOs.

        Are you denying a correlation between mass shooting/gun deaths and gun control laws?

        Replying to @author_grace_r @Chelmoo13 and

        Yes mass shootings are a big problem right now but a determined one would have found a way to get guns whether legal or not. So gun control won't do much, as it only affects legal gun owners and does little to deter criminals who don't care about the law.

        Just because people will find ways to do it doesn't mean we should legalize it. In that case, why not legalize all drugs? There's a strong correlation between states who have stricter gun control and gun deaths.

        Here is a fact that may be inconvenient for those demanding #GunControlNow The #NRA kills 0 people a day & receives $0 from the taxpayers each year #PlannedParenthood kills 887 babies a day or 1 every 90 seconds & gets over $500 million from the taxpayers each year

        These women don't want these babies & adoptive parents want healthy babies not compromised by drugs & alcohol in the womb. If impoverished women who don't like their fetuses have no choice but to give birth, how good will be their mothering & how well socialized their children?

        "Common sense gun laws"... Like maybe not selling 100's of guns to the Mexican cartel so they can kill our border patrol like your administration did with operation "fast and furious?" Or maybe local law enforcement just enforcing current laws that would've prevented this

        Don't forget about how Obama took away military style equipment from police departments that was used to protect our communities.

        Every piece of equipment a police officer has is for the officer's protection only. Guns, handcuffs, tasers, Billy clubs are only to prevent the officers from being hurt or incapacitated. None of it is for protecting the public.
