        Stop wasting time on Trump, pressure belongs on 2018 midterm candidates.

        You can be sure that Trump's people are busy checking with the NRA to find out what kind of phony "show" controls they can propose as cover to get past this.

        Well now that even the NY Post calls for Trump to act, he just may do something.

        As usual, US cries for action before an investigation has had the chance to determine what actually happened. There are several videos out there from purported witnesses that suggest the "Nikolas Cruz" story is not all of the story. Have these been officially investigated yet?

        Of course you overlook the fact that this is just one of MANY shootings. Does Las Vegas ring a bell? What did Trump do about that? Or how about all the other school shootings?

        Las Vegas is still not adequately explained either. There are some VERY strange things about that night. What do you WANT Trump to do? A miracle? You are talking about a country with a long history of gun culture. There are no other countries like this in the first world.

        Trump overturned a law Obama passed that prevented people with mental illness to get a gun. The Republicans have refused to ban people on the terrorist watch list to get a gun. Trump could fight for background checks including mental health issues applied to 100% of ALL sales.

        This guy was not diagnosed with a mental illness, nor was he on the terrorism watch list.

        Right. That's why trying to predict who may snap isn't the only answer. It's the easy availability of guns. License ALL users & sellers & require yearly renewals to pass background checks. ALL guns must be locked up & owners legally responsible for them. Many things can be done.

        The USA is a whole country FULL of people living on the edge. Millions could snap at any time. And probably will if the government tries to take their guns off them, THIS gun WAS locked up - until its owner took it out of the locked cupboard.

        The real answer is to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Maybe someday if these slaughters continue and get bad enough it may come to that. A lot of people will be murdered before then.

        The only “good” outcome (if we can call it that) of this incident is that most these victims will be voting next year. Hopefully they don’t forget & do better than their parents did. This should motivate them to turn Florida blue. #ParklandFlorida #GunControlNow
