Student To Brian Williams: Banning Guns Just Creates Higher Demand; Won't Prevent School Shootings

Brandon Minoff, a student at a Florida high school shooting on Wednesday, was interviewed by MSNBC's Brian Williams from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Williams asked the kid what he would do about school shooting if he were a lawmaker.

Minoff instantly replied, (could tell what Williams was implying): "gun-wise, I don't think there's any way to prevent it. You outlaw guns, just creates higher demand for it."

France has very stict gun control laws. Did that stop the Paris Massacre?

More laws on the law abiding do not stop people willing to commit murder. Instead of trying to make this a collective responsibility, let empower educators and law enforcement to intervene BEFORE the cases turn violence.

These things do not happen in a vacuum. There are more then enough warning signs but because our Lawyers are so trigger happy to sue people law enforcement and educators are prevented from acting BEFORE these rabid animals attack

Yes, this is a societal problem but it not about guns. it about the absolute refusal to hold individuals accountable for then actions until it is far far far too late.

My Dad had guns—plural—all of his life, and he never caused anyone a problem.

Myself & my brothers (4 of us) all have had guns since we were teenagers-—a very long time ago——and we never caused anyone any problem.

The gun is NOT the problem....The hand & mind behind the gun is the problem. I am really damn tired of hearing about controlling guns-—when we need to control the population members who have mental problems.

Please, Pres. Trump:

Take the mental problems out of circulation-—please do no take the guns out of circulation.

Those of us who have never done something wrong with out weapons do NOT deserve to be punished for something we didn’t do.

Funny how the Liberals didn’t demand all cars be removed from the country when Teddy Kennedy went driving into a pond....... This is no different.

None of us deserve to be punished for something WE did NOT DO.

He bought it legally——age 18 in Florida, and most other states.
