      I agree with the NRA...in the sense that our schools should have TIGHT security. And I agree that the FBI made a huge error. Fixing these things should be *part* of the solution. We need overlapping solutions.https://www.thedailybeast.com/if-he-wanted-to-trump-could-actually-solve-the-gun-problem …

      ...if Cruz couldn’t have entered that school ...if Cruz couldn’t have purchased a gun until he was 21 ...if Cruz’s dad had still been around ...if the FBI had followed up on this tip... If... We can’t rely on any one fix saving us. We need a multi-pronged approach.

          Aside from changing the subject, Wayne LaPierre’s main strategy is to suggest that any gun control is part of a plan to confiscate ALL guns. He knows that if you believe this slippery slope argument, you will have to oppose even common sense reforms.

          Broward County Schools have *extremely* tight security and police presence. My sons have been at the same school for 3 years and I still have to present my ID and receive a badge at the single point entrance every. single. day. It’s the guns.

          Here's a one prong : ban assault weapons.

          Genuinely curious what the FBI was supposed to do here. Lock this kid up? For what, exactly?

          Assault rifles need to be banned and citizens that own one should be forced to turn them in to authorities. These guns have no place in our society.

          Fair to point out that there are different circumstances surrounding each shooting with lots of "ifs" BUT also fair to point out the AR-15 style weapons with high capacity magazines are THE THING mass shootings have in common. From Aurora to Sandyhook to Pulse to last week.

          "If his dad had been around". You realize his adoptive father passed away 10 years ago. How do you "fix" that?

          what an intellectually dishonest, milquetoast-ass stance to take, "drrr they're both wrong and right, here's my op-ed, pay me." stop with this bs 'practical' approach; it's not complicated to see that fewer guns=fewer deaths, you rube

          You want kids to go to a prison not a school.
