Sen. Rubio: No gun law would have prevented Florida school shooting

“One of them, for example, is Senator Feinstein’s bill-there are a number of us sponsoring it-that says that you can not legally purchase an assault weapon, and then it goes on for 100 pages to define what is an assault weapon and what is not an assault weapon”, Nelson said.

President Donald Trump said, “You are never alone, and you never will be”.

“The fact that they’re speaking up as boldly as they are, maybe that’s the turning point”, he said.

“An AR-15 is not for hunting”, Nelson said.

“People don’t know how this happened: who this person is, what motivated them”. In 2013, Rubio voted against a law banning high capacity magazines. Rubio, who is a staunch supporter of the NRA, made headlines in the massacre’s aftermath for saying tighter gun laws would not have prevented the tragedy. “For one thing, there’s already millions of these on the street. The genie’s out of the bottle”. Bill Nelson (D-FL) says “enough is enough”.

“If someone’s decided ‘I’m going to commit this crime, ‘ they’ll find the way to get the gun to do it”, Rubio argued. DeFede pressed. “Are you?”

“We need to take the time – and not forever – but we need to take time to understand what that is”, he said.

From Miami to London and beyond, activists have adopted the Three Billboards approach to, in one case, call out Florida Senator Marco Rubio for his money-taking from the NRA and, in London, demand action in the horrific Grenfell Tower public housing fire.

That’s the standard response from United States politicians any time there is a mass shooting. I don’t know the answer.

As my husband and I drove into Paeroa, we learned that Cruz had killed 17 people with his semi-automatic rifle. “The news moves on, society moves on, and politicians move on”.

Three mobile billboards were driven around near Floridian Senator Marco Rubio’s office.

“First of all, they support my agenda, I don’t support theirs”, he replied.

I asked myself, how can I live a moral life, subjecting her to this reality? “If you’re a political leader doing nothing about this slaughter, you’re an accomplice”.

He did not address gun control.

The Republican senator said that often laws do little to prevent someone who wishes to harm others.
