Conservative actor Adam Baldwin pushed back Wednesday as many on the left—from Hollywood celebrities to political leaders—called for gun control in the immediate aftermath of the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
“[Nancy] Pelosi again demanding gun control. Again, the shooter was stopped by people with firearms,” the actor tweeted.
“Schools need armed security and volunteer staff members with CCW,” he added.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had tweeted that ‘enough is enough.’
“Too many of these instances take place across the country. As leaders, we have a moral obligation to prevent them and protect our communities. We need more than thoughts and prayers. #EnoughIsEnough,” she wrote.
Other celebs weighed in after the shooting, with comedian Chelsea Handler saying Republicans “have blood on your hands.”
“We have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won’t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands,” she said on Twitter.
“No words, no actions, no laws are enough until we end this epidemic of school shootings in our country. My heart is with the students and parents of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School,” Ellen DeGeneres wrote.
Writer and producer Beau Willimon also blamed the GOP.
“When Will The @GOP Stop Being OWNED By The @NRA And FINALLY Do ANYTHING About #GunControl? Never. Their thoughts and prayers mean nothing. We must replace them all,” he said on Twitter.
“You want taxpayers to spend $25 billion for a wall that will do virtually nothing to keep us safer. Meanwhile you and your party take money from the @NRA to prevent common sense #guncontrol reforms that could actually save lives. Shame,” he responded to President Trump’s tweet expressing his condolences.
I was watching an interview yesterday with the Broward County school superintendent and he had mentioned it. School Resource Officers I believe he called them. They're on campus on a daily basis I think.
Just saw on Fox. There were security people on the grounds. One was killed by the shooter.
He was licensed to carry but was PROHIBITED from doing so by law!
Sad and sickening.
What are security guards supposed to do, to protect themselves and those they are SUPPOSED to be protecting?
Throw spitballs????
They didn’t, they’re not related
He’s starring in the series “The Last Ship” too.......good series.
Also was Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket and Jayne in Firefly.
“I understand there were two armed police officers on the grounds at the time of the shooting.”

I’d like to see verification of that, because if true it would be unusual.
Vaquero posted (post 2) that Fox News reported there were two guards, on campus, but they were prohibited from being armed.
Which is it, DD?
Do you have a link/source that they were in fact armed/allowed to use their weapons?
Just trying to clarify. Thanks.
Amazing the number of people, including Republicans and Freepers, who are actively calling for people to be given lifetime sentences before committing any harm. People want PreCrime. It will not go well.
I don’t know, but he’s currently starring in TNT’s “The Last Ship” series, so it may have something to do with that.
And yet, when Democrats owned all branches of government in 2009-10 (SCOTUS through blackmail) they did nothing.
I was going to ask you if he was a furnished or unfurnished office ...
LOL!
We need a “revise your post” feature.
Ahhh, but that would eliminate a whole lot of extremely enjoyable posts that exist only because one or more entries that are hysterically funny ...
Remember "hugh and series" and all of the funny ways that Freepers express themselves or have autocorrect to thank for entries that weren't made to read that way?
I think that makes you number 12.
;-)
They didn’t come from the same womb. Adam Baldwin is not related to that other family. The siblings of the psychotic Baldwin from SNL are Daniel, William and Stephen (the Christian).
At least I made the top 20.......LOL!
...and here’s #13...
;-)
USS Oak Hill
My favorite is “Oh, the huge manatee!” instead of “Oh, the humanity!”
My b-day today... Lotto649 draw today... perchance I'll pick 13 as one of my numbers. 😉
Dibs on half your winnings!
