U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio was in full-alarm mode Tuesday on the second day of a two-week swing around the state during the spring recess.
He warned that President Donald Trump‘s scheduled meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jung-un is potentially “dangerous and counter-productive.” He warned of China’s “unprecedented” and steady attempt at displacing the U.S. as the world economic power. And he warned the National Rifle Association that if it doesn’t focus its energy on reducing mass shootings, the Second Amendment could be at stake.
“I would argue today that perhaps the single, biggest threats to the Second Amendment are these mass shootings because if it weren’t for mass shootings and gun crime you wouldn’t see this outcry,″ Rubio said at a meeting with reporters at his Tallahassee office in the Florida state Capitol. “It’s awakening the conscience of the country.”
He called Trump’s visit with Jung-un “counter-productive because it will be used just to give him a platform to look important,″ adding that he doesn’t know “if the meeting is ever going to take place or not.
Rubio said he was “doubtful” that Jung-un was interested in denuclearization.
“I am very doubtful that he will ever surrender his nuclear weapons because, for him, that is his life insurance,″ Rubio said. “That is what keeps him in power. Because he is fearful of becoming [deposed Libyan leader Muammar] Gaddafi and fearful of becoming [executed Iraqi president] Saddam Hussein and he’s a young man. He’s got to figure out how to hold onto power for 50-60 years.”
He said Jung-un benefits from the meeting more than Trump because the dictator “lured an American president’ into a meeting and it helps him in his quest “to be accepted as a global power.

It’s the DC water. That, and/or maybe the little fellow has given up being elected to office as a Republican.
To think that Jong-Un “lured” President Trump into anything is beyond ludicrous...
As far as the NRA and mass shootings go, the NRA could give excellent ideas about safe schools...
First, get rid of the ridiculous “Gun Free Zone” signs...
Then arm a few willing teachers...
Little Marco is in danger of losing his seat.
He is wound up tighter than a church clock.
Buahahahahaha: Little Marco! Hey, Little Marco!
And to think there were some serious conservatives who thought Little Marco would of made a great president!

Rush, for one.
It could be worse. Mine are Dianne Feinswine and Kamala Harris. Plenty of froth from them for your foamboy.
If the politicians try to repeal the Second Amendment, they are attacking The Bill of Rights. If this occurs, it is the duty of We the People to remove that government.
No, he’s a perfect Republican, as this is what Republicans do.
You’ve hit rock bottom when you take your marching orders from a teenage Hogg.
Stuck on stupid....
Remember how he was the darling of conservatives when he was saying all the right things? And Hannity was convinced he was the man to be president? I’m convinced we should wait a minimum of 3years before we jump on someone’s band wagon.
Little marco got my vote last time, NOT next time.
I didn’t want to say his name because I’m starting to like his show again, but he was one of the people I was referring to!
I remember NRO was favorable to Rubio when he first came one the scene. They always liked Sessions, too. And Bolton.
The purpose of the NRA is to protect our rights, not engage in social engineering.
It is the job of our government to find the most effective ways to reduce crime without infringing on our rights. Since we are [ostensibly] a free country crime will never be completely eliminated, and we can never be completely safe from being targeted by criminals. All we can do is continue to demand that our right to defend ourselves be respected.
The idea that there is some kind of "right to be safe" or "right to feel safe" is a fiction foisted upon us by totalitarian leftists who wish to control every aspect of everyone's lives.
And Hannity was convinced he was the man to be president?

Well, I know he’s not President, and I have no doubts about the “man” part. Maybe it’s that lisp.

Woah! I meant “I have my doubts” not “I have no doubts.”
Don’t you hate it when your fingers type the exact opposite of what you really mean to say? LOL.
well you could be like me and have two Democrats...oh, wait...
Ben Sasse is another one whom conservatives were putting the future presidential tag on, and look what happened to him!
He’s wrong, wrong, wrong.
Rubio is a risk to the USA and needs to work on reforming McConnell and his minions.
Oh, and to come down on illegals and foam parties.
