With stunning poise and steely confidence, Cameron Kasky, a junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, confronted U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., live on CNN on Wednesday evening.
“Can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the (National Rifle Association)?” he demanded. In the arena where the town hall event was held, the crowd of some 7,000 — most of them connected to the school community that was shattered when a gunman killed 17 during a Feb. 14 rampage — stood and cheered for more than 20 seconds.
After a bit of back-and-forth, Rubio answered: “No. 1, the positions I hold on these issues of the Second Amendment I've held since the day I entered office in the city of West Miami as an elected official.
“No. 2,” he went on, “No. The answer to the question is that people buy into my agenda. … The influence of these groups comes not from money. The influence comes from the millions of people that agree with the agenda; the millions of Americans that support the NRA.”
A moment later Kasky pressed the point. “In the name of 17 people, you cannot ask the NRA to keep their money out of your campaign?” he asked. “Are you gonna be accepting money from the NRA in the future?”
Rubio’s answer, greeted with jeers: “I will always accept the help of anyone who agrees with my agenda.”

If these little thugs are the future, I’m gonna need more guns, and a boat-load of ammo.
We’re living in Eric’s head. Come on in. It’s free and there’s lots of room.....
That’s right. We’re a problem for you. Just wait until November.
Answer all with the well demonstrated wisdom of George Washington. The most effective answer is to ridicule the utter unAmerican stupidity of the pontificating media, who hide behind these kids whom they misuse. Does one of them have an answer to George Washington's argument:
A few years earlier, at the conclusion of the War, General Washington had put his thoughts on the Common Defence into a May 2, 1783 draft to Alexander Hamilton, entitled Sentiments On A Peace Establishment:
...to prove ...the Policy and expediency of resting the protection of the Country on a respectable and well established Militia, we might not only shew the propriety ...from our peculiar local situation, but we might have recourse to the Histories of Greece and Rome in their most virtuous and Patriotic ages.... we might see, with admiration, the Freedom and Independence of Switzerland supported for Centuries, in the midst of powerful and jealous neighbors, by means of a hardy and well organized Militia. ...
It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice...
The following month, June 8, 1783, Washington reported to the States, in surrendering the solemn trust of his command:
The Militia of this Country must be considered as the Palladium of our security, and the first effectual resort in case of hostility...
Washington's reference to the Swiss was quite revealing. Trained, as school boys, in the safe, correct and deadly accurate use of arms, the Swiss had and have managed to maintain an armed neutrality for generations amidst their more warlike, but less war efficient neighbors. While world travelers have reported for generations that Switzerland, where every household has its own military grade weapons, has the lowest crime rate in Europe. The Swiss have also managed to preserve the diverse rights of their 22 Cantons (or States) better than any other Federation in the world.
Yet perhaps the single most important reason why Washington wanted America to adopt the Swiss system, is that it teaches the youth--in the most immediate and compelling manner--the importance of that level of personal responsibility on which all of our other institutions are based. It gives youth a sense of purpose, importance and self-worth, for which all the words expended by "Liberal" theorists, from the Creation to this day, are no substitute.
Rubio shows backbone. It must be the only one and all the Rupublicans must share it.
The left, the politicians and the MSM live in their own bubble. They really don’t have a clue or keep a pulse on the majority opinion and culture of the USA. So they are perpetually confused and stupid. And you can’t fix stupid.
So this is the person with stunning poise and steely confidence?
Looking at his comments, he sounds like the typical deranged leftists who are responsible for the majority of the mass murders that take place in this country.
It is hateful leftists like him who create the environment that emboldens others like him to follow through with his violent rhetoric.
What the Liberals are REALLY aiming to do is
GET RID OF ALL CONSERVATIVE VOTERS.
This writer is merely tipping off the truth.
“With stunning poise and steely confidence, Cameron Kasky”
The confidence came from being handed a script which was well rehearsed.
No way that kid originated those words and phrases.
Ah, the left insulting large percentages of the country again. Remember, this is how the left thinks of you: you are the problem.
“Those pesky voters, keeping us from implementing everything we want.”
This tragedy is a dark comedy of law enforcement dropping the ball at multiple levels from the FBI to the local sheriff.
A total and disasterous failure of Law Enforcement from top to bottom led to the slaughter of 17 people.
Competent, professional law enforcement is more than setting up Trump associates with "Gotcha" questions and ticketing speeders.
FBI: No follow up on multiple tips of a potential shooter (too busy sexting and manufacturing false evidence to screw the president?)
Local Law Enforcement: No response to multiple tips of crinminal behavior at the school
Local Sheriff: Watching the disaster unfold on a link to school security cameras with a 20 MINUTE DELAY!
(Why wasn't this flaw discovered beforehand through planning and practice to prepare for a possible live shooter event?)
School Administration: Political Correctness took prededence over student safety
School Security Officer - Armed but too cowardly to confront the shooter
It's obvious that all parties had their priorities screwed up and were concentrationg on other issues rather than their primary mission.
Competent, professional management at the FBI, Sheriff Department, local police and school administration
along with prior planning and preparation would probably have saved many lives.
When I become a “problem” believe my buddy, you’ll know it!
In other words, the Chicago Tribune is simply a part of the statist propaganda machine.
FIX YOUR CITY A$$H%LES! Then talk.

A very large number on the left - ANITIFA/BAMN/BLM/SJWs - want us simply dead.
They want and openly advocate for killing those whom they deem unworthy to live.
And they wonder why we keep buying guns...
