Student To Brian Williams: Banning Guns Just Creates Higher Demand; Won't Prevent School Shootings
RealClearPolitics ^ | February 15, 2018 | RealClearPolitics

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."

Gives me hope for some public schools. That young man demonstrated levels of logic unachievable by the vast majority of the MSM and congress.

Lots of them exist, hopefully. I think many are seeing through the proggie lies, sensing truths and turning against the liars.

Usually, the networks have the fake interview-folks lined up with the right script, and they act like they were actually there. So in this, they really screwed up and talked to someone from the school, who wasn’t reading the script.

All his life, the “educators’ have told kids: “You outlaw drugs, just creates higher demand for it.”

Bet they never not this would be the outcome of that indoctrination.

I saw several students interviewed yesterday. I was impressed by their speaking abilities and grammar and even appearance. I thought that school must be doing something right.

There’s no way in the world that Brian Williams thought there was a chance in hades that anyone he interviewed from the school would have any other opinion than pro gun control. I’m sure he was shocked to hear what came out of that student’s mouth.

Isn’t the school a gun free zone? Isn’t murder against the law?

Why is Brian Williams still on TV?

I thought he was ousted years ago for his dishonesty.

Like we needed proof that Brian Williams isn’t as smart as the average high school kid!

19 years old, too young to buy a gun.
Mental problems, known troublemaker.
Gun free zone.
Eventually stopped and apprehended by armed men.

How exactly would additional gun laws help?

It is probably 18 years-old limit to by a rifle or shotgun in Florida. It is too bad that the school didn’t prosecute him for making terroristic threats - then that would have been in the record. Instead they tell him he can’t bring a back-pack to school. Or his neighbors go after him for shooting at their chickens.

Since God has been banished from our classrooms, Satan has filled the void.

Government doesn’t have “endorse”, simply don’t prohibit.

Can I use that for my new tagline?

“You outlaw guns, just creates higher demand for it.”

A rare understanding of human nature and Econ. 101.
