CNN Already Demanding A 'Discussion' About Gun Control After Florida School Shooting

As the story about the horrific mass shooting in Parkland, Florida was still developing today, CNN didn't even wait for all the facts to come in before beginning its push for a “discussion about guns."

At 3:17 PM EST, CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem made her gun control pitch by misinforming the network's viewers, claiming that America is "the only nation that has this kind of violence." According to NewsBusters, which transcribed the relevant segment, Kayyem said:

Yet again, you cannot have these conversations with at least saying every time we are the only nation that has this kind of violence and presumably gun violence, obviously, in particular focused on our children. It is just ridiculous. My daughter is coming home from an urban high school in the next 20 minutes. It's — it’s like no other country lives or allows themselves to live and here we are, another time, having a discussion about guns as being a security issue for our children.

Instead of correcting Kayyem's egregious factual error, CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin agreed with Kayyem:

Then only criminals will have guns. And with no resistance to their killings they will be worst.

Remove God from schools, and society and look what happens.

Secondly, here we are nearly 17 years after 9/11 and we still have our children as sitting ducks. Absolutely unconscionable.

“... The President needs to ...(blah-blah-blah)”
-
Public school security is a local issue.
All it takes is for people to pony up the money.
It is already done here in many of our county school districts.

Wellllll - since the Left just ignores the laws on sedition, I’m just kind of going to ignore any “gun lores” they pass...

And our great senior Senator Bill Nelson said though he’s a supporter of the 2nd amendment growing up on a ranch and hunting with his son (neither of which have to do with the intent of the 2nd Amendment) this Student apparently had an AR-15 which fires “fire high caliber bullies at a rapid rate of fire” and is not useful for hunting. Get a clue, Bill. We have Bill and Little Marco as our Senators...Ugh.

Get enough political momentum and that will go the way of straight marriage.

Best to ask why we aren’t guarding schools better.

Sure. Let's have a discussion.

Why do these assholes keep targeting gun free zones? What could it be?

Could it be that if you are going to shoot a lot of people you will want to do it where all of your victims have been disarmed for your protection?

Actually, Fox (via Maura Liaison) was tauting it too. She said she cannot believe the assault rifle ban had expired. Like there were NO shootings during the time it was enforced? Please.

I remember in the fall of 1963 hearing the principal tell us over the P.A. in homeroom that because of Madelyn Murray there would be no more morning prayer or Scripture reading, but only a minute of silence accompanied by sacred music. Even that was later done away with. So glad the atheist bitch perished in just fashion!

The discussion should be more along the lines of deciding the point at which anti American seditionists have just gone too far.
We do have the 2nd amendment for a reason...it’s not for hunting.

You can “discuss” until you’re blue in the face CNN, but if you or your democrats buddies do more than discuss and introduce even one piece of anti-2nd amendment legislation, we’ll rain ten tons of hell down on you on election day.

The liberal scum, including the deep state traitors and the propaganda press, are terrified of armed Americans.

How are we supposed to have a “discussion” when CNN will only let one side speak without editing.

Well maybe now these assholes will drop the Porter obsession for a while. Can anyone here imagine going to a cocktail part and admitting that you work for CNN, MSNBC...?

Liberals keep insisting we disarm.

I don’t want to be at the mercy of a bad guy. I want to defend my life.

Whether or not they approve of it.

Apparently Bill doesn’t know the AR-15 is a favorite for hog hunting; which is funny because his state allows the hogs to be taken with them.
