Fake news media is saddened - deeply saddened.

What a bunch of racists. Probably homophobic as well.

Not that I want to stir the pot, but if you took the normal yearly death toll in Florida (murders), and did the number business....I doubt that the assault rifle usage in these episodes reaches more than 2-percent of the deaths. I would even go and suggest that people killed by knives in Florida....would be a two-to-one average over assault rifles.

Finally, again...not to stir the pot...but Florida leads the way nationwide on the number of people killed by lightning strikes. Can’t we possibly pass legislation to lessen this number and prevent lightning deaths? It would seem like we should just pass a law that says when lightning is within 20 miles...everyone should huddle underneath a overpass, or in some public building.

I grew up in Florida. No way people down there are giving up their guns.

It’s just the nature of the terrain......

Not a lot of people walking around on the street, everyone travels by car. So there’s a sense of isolation, even in Metro areas.

No basements or attics for people to hide in, and very few 2 story houses. This makes people feel more vulnerable in their homes.

Warm weather all year round means perps will never say “it’s too cold out tonight to commit a robbery, I’m staying in”.

When a person screams for help, their voices are likely to be muted by closed windows, and drowned out by the never ending noise from air conditioners that run practically all year long.

Hypocrit legislation meant to not fight crime but for empty virtue signaling and campaigns against Trump (Russiagate, Fast&Furious etc)

When crime statistics show far more people being kicked and beat to death, or stabbed to death, than are shot with rifles, and the news media is attacking rifles, something they said they would NEVER do 35 years ago, you know their ultimate goal is not to control rifles.

Oh, you should SEE how the Miami media (protected by the FIRST amendment to the Constitution) is BEMOANING the fact that the SECOND AMENDMENT is being lawfully upheld and respected by the legislators!

Students, students, students, students, students.

When the local liberal media takes a breath away from students, it is trying to blame the Florida Department of Children and Family...NOTING ANYMORE about local law enforcement called 30+ times about Nikolas Cruz, nothing about the FBI warned TWICE about Nikolas Cruz, nothing about the lack of armed security at the FORMER SCHOOL of Nikolas Cruz (one armed officer for 3,000 students is spitting in the ocean), nothing about the drugs or medical condition of Nikolas Cruz.

Nope, the media kneels at the altar of teenagers who are being funded by Trump haters AND at their fallback mode: blame a Republican led state government department.

Glad Florida has common sense legislators who aren't going to react to events in a knee-jerk fashion. I have zero respect for people who say "we need new laws" every time a tragedy happens.

If only we enforced half the laws already on the books.

And they voted it down by two to one while the children were there protesting.

You could at the very least add a disclaimer for the lie in the headline...

The Florida legislature did not consider any legislation involving “assault rifles”.

Now that they have these kids there they should have a teach-in which leftists love and they should teach these students what the second Amendment is and why we need it. This would never happen of course.

The left is going to get kids to do what they got them to do in the 1960s and 1970s. To riot on the college campuses and now on the high school campuses. This is what they do. Get kids to riot and they make their speeches. This is their goal. To unarm America so that they can take over. With us armed, they cannot do this. So, now, teach the 15, 16 and 17 year olds to riot. Cause them to burn down their schools. Teach them young. They have been doing this for decades in the class rooms. Now, teach them to riot.

They should’ve started smaller and voted on banning assault rifles in schools.
