        Hi Mr. Rutherford, happy Friday. I was wondering if you could elaborate more on how you intend to prevent gun violence and protect Florida's children. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

        Now is the time to train appropriate school personnel to protect our children. More gun laws, and more talk isn’t going to protect anyone. A gun free zone is a shooting gallery for a criminal.pic.twitter.com/5XZjZFQdDA

        feel free to hang the signs, but research overwhelmingly indicates that more guns does not = more safety. also, how would you plan on funding guns and training for public school teachers when they don't even get funding for school supplies?

        I have an entire family of teachers! They go to conferences all the time and don’t do it for the money. For nearly 30 yrs. I have sat up late at night as we did public school work. WE MUST PROTECT OUR CHILDREN 👶... Time for liberals to get out of the way!

        but who is going to fund the guns? are you suggesting the teachers should buy their own guns?

        Thanks for a discussion without name calling... In Florida I can assure you that in most schools in rural, Central & North Florida A HIGG PERCENTAGE of teachers have their CCW permits and know the basics and own their own. They are good people that 1/2

        2/2 ... good people that would lay down their lives for their children! They would go to workshops and train! Not everyone, but those that qualify. My wife has been teacher of the yr. in three schools. She would know what to do, most would. Don’t leave them helpless any longer!

        3/3... (Continued) I know that you live in New York Meghan. For you this may sound absurd. But here in North Florida, people go hunting with their ARs, they go skeet shooting with their shotguns, they go to the gun range for bachelorette parties.

        Is now not the time to talk about gun control legislation? At least sane background checks? Just thoughts and prayers again?

        The answer is right in front of your eyes. But Liberal logic has blinded the obvious. Liberal logic wants to take away our constitutional rights which guarantee our human rights given to us by God.pic.twitter.com/yQgoJ7uSVr

        @realDonaldTrump Please consider putting Representative John Rutherford, who was one of America’s finest law officer, in charge of discovering and implement real answers for protecting our school children. All Obama ever did was talk. It is time for real action.pic.twitter.com/epkFToXMfN

        Time for more than thoughts and prayers. Ban assault rifles and take action to make this a public health emergency. Sick of inaction and the NRA preventing change.

        If you seek to arm teachers most will quit. And a handgun is no match for automatic weapon.

        There are plenty of thoughts and prayers happening today. They stop nothing. Be brave and do what is right. Prayers mean nothing. Actions are what we need.

        We have roughly 300 million guns in this nation. More guns isn’t the answer. Plus, armed men shoot people on military bases. Pretty sure that isn’t a “gun free” zone. This is a uniquely American problem that we have to have serious conversations about fixing.

        There have been 18 schools shootings world wide outside the US in the last 25 years. The US is doing something wrong. But hey, let’s pretend that access to high powered rifles isn’t the problem.
