If they feel a need to act, then do away with the gun free zones.

“Do people really hunt with AR-15s?”

This has nothing to do with hunting. This has to do with citizens protecting themselves from a liberal government who must disarm the folks in order to succeed fully.

“are facing pressure”

No they aren’t. The FL legislature just tabled an “assault weapons “ ban.

Odd how they had a bill ready so soon after the incident.

They will regret knee-jerk legislation that panders to these emotional students.

A new video game or a new version of a phone will come out next week and the Tide Pod eaters will forget all about this and move on to something else.

When it’s a valid argument that a LACK of guns caused this tragedy and these, so-called, victims aren’t mourning or suffering but enjoying instant political stardom as they try to force their beliefs upon us because their opinion is supposedly more important as they attempt to destroy our rights and make derogatory statements about our president and our nation.

Yes. http://ar15hunter.com/

It’s also irrelevant. The 2nd Amendment isn’t about hunting.

Yeah - they soubded like whiney snowflakes demanding an emotional response to help their fee-fees.

Not like intellectual young adults willing to actually debate and discuss rational solutions.

The reason we have “gun free school zones” was because congress had to “do something”. Worked like a charm, didn’t it. If that coach who put himself between his students and the killer had even a little pocket .38 we’d be telling a different story today. Emotional liberalism is the cause of all society’s problems.

Republicans have concluded that it would be catastrophic to wrap up without doing something to address the mounting outcry.

NYT did not get this from Florida Republicans, NYT Leftie Weenies are reading the FLA GOP minds. That is something the Left assures us they do well. Headshake.

How trite and silly with their little signs. Yes, let us all, by every possible means necessary, give 16 year olds the right to vote. They are paragons of critical thought!

“We protect kids, not guns?” How’s that working out of you sweetheart?

When you all were under siege, you were praying for someone with a gun to show up and bail you out. No guns on campus? You have to wait for the police? When seconds count...

Also, it is a momentary act to remove the .223 upper and replace it with a .300 Blackout and you have a dandy deer rifle. Ballistics comparable to the venerable 30-30.

Democrats should lead by example and turn in their guns and pull any armed security off of protecting them. Hollywood should ban guns from their movies.

Son the winchester. 308 rifle isn’t an assault weapon even though I don’t have that enormous magazine capacity? These people really are stupid. Assault Weapons Bamboo didn’t do much to prevent Columbine.
