Forget Trump’s plan. Florida gun law should be the model

Enchained by the fetters of the partisan paradigm – one which has only grown in intensity over the past few decades – we as a society have completely failed to come together to think of our future, of the lives of our citizens and of anyone who calls this country home. Of course we need to push back on this asinine proposal to arm teachers, but after that is defeated, we must continue to press for more gun control measures.

The US has an epidemic of gun crime.

Beyond the psychological trauma such attacks inflict, these shootings have a profound effect on academic success rates.

The organization also shared a recorded message from Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA (the political and lobbying arm of the NRA), in which he says gun control activists are “blaming good honest people for the acts of murderers”.

It turns out some member of Congress might not be the only ones in Washington who are “petrified” of the National Rifle Association.

Many of America’s gun control policies are created to prevent horrific mass shootings, rather than the everyday gun violence that claims the majority of lives.

It deploys familiar tropes to distract from tragedies.

The White House’s “announcement was completely inadequate and showed profound lack of leadership”, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, a gun control advocacy group, wrote on Twitter late Sunday. The students’ demands are so basic to what every American should support – the freedom to attend school, or walk anywhere in public, without the worry of another heinous, murderous rampage – that those who ridicule or denigrate them face their own foul sewage being thrust right back onto themselves.

But murdered kids are political.

Sputnik: But there’s still Sandy Hook, Columbine… In a matter of minutes, the school joined “a club that no one wants to be part of”, Hanlon says.

In a series of tweets published Monday morning, the U.S. president has raised several reasons for this flip-flop, strongly criticized by many elected Democrats and advocates for better gun control. They’re standing up without us because they’re exhausted of the same old lines that we hear after every mass shooting.

Bills such as this, which so blatantly stray away from the original goals of gun regulation, are deplorable and solve nothing.

We urge our leaders to recognize that attempting to make schools safe by labeling them with signs as gun free zones and placing a single law enforcement officer on a large campus is an illusion that too often results in victims.

By severing ties with the NRA, several companies, including The First National Bank of Omaha, MetLife, Delta Airlines, etc., ended their discounts to NRA members.

This has already led to some action by states.

The public, however, is broadly supportive of raising the age limit.

Six years ago, 17-year-old T.J. Lane entered Chardon High School with a.22-caliber semiautomatic handgun.

God bless Donald Trump as he moves forward in trying to strengthen our nation’s federal gun laws!

The reason gun control looks possible right now is largely due to the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

Students protest at the White House in favour of stricter gun control in America. I became the person responsible for the thousands of firearms in his inventory, and I had to learn all about guns, gun laws and the gun community.

Additionally, is this conducive to a successful school environment? It’s time for the Trump Administration to drop the NRA talking points and get serious about engaging in a real discussion about school safety, which entails talking about positive school climates.

Whether these efforts are successful or not will depend largely on whether they are sustained. But it’s a key advance in its prerequisite: a comprehensive attack on the gun lobby.

In fact, 172 GOP Senators and Representatives including Marco Rubio, Rob Portman, Tom Cotton, Cory Gardner, Thom Tillis, etc., received more than 90 percent of NRA political funding.
