One student just came forward to say that the meeting he attended was scripted- CNN told him what to say.

So apparently Rubio said he’s “reconsidering” his position on a “high capacity” magazine ban? If that’s true, he’s dead to me. How weak, thank God DJT is POTUS.
Rubio said:
"I have traditionally not supported looking at magazine clip size and after this and some of the details I have learned about it, I am reconsidering that position and I'll tell you why," he said. "Because while it may not prevent an attack, it may save lives in an attack. ... I know there are, for example, handguns that have 17. So we'll have to get into that debate, but that is something I believe that we can reach a compromise (on) in this country, and that I'm willing to reconsider."

I am starting to have a new understanding of the French Revolution. The irrational hate and vitriol coming from the left is amazing. You can discern the difference between the people struggling to deal with what happened and the vicious vectors who target the NRA, but for some reason have no animus towards people that actually were involved with the problem. The MSM, and by that I mean CNN, stoking and poking while dropping an semblance of objectivity is frightening.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
I don't think armed guards at every day care, grade school, middle school, high school etc across the country is the answer. There are hundreds of thousands of schools in this country all with MULTIPLE entrances. You'd have to monitor them all with WELL TRAINED and TRUSTED armed guards. Not feasible in my opinion. I'm partly basing my opinion on what I remember about our "armed guard" at my private catholic high school circa 1999. He was a fat, old, slow, partially retired hillbilly sheriff who had found his retirement job. He still carried a wheel gun on his rotund waist line. He rode around on a golf cart most of the day when the weather was nice outside, but he couldn't possibly have monitored every entrance into that school effectively. One day we were all evacuated from the school because he radioed into the nearest police station that he had been shot..officer down. Kids were jumping out of windows, running into each other in the halls, some were injured from the fury. Turns out Officer Jones was popped with a BB gun in the belly by some kids across the street. That's my vision of armed guards at school. He laid down after getting a bb gun welp and was not going to engage and assist students or try to stop an attacker had the situation been real.
I do not think I want armed teachers in schools either. Can anyone remember back to little ole frail Mrs. Miller? 11th grade chemistry teacher. Would you want her waving a firearm around during a real deal active shooter situation? I know I would not. In fact I can only think of a couple teachers/coaches I would have trusted with a gun back then. And I can almost guarantee you that over half of the staff at my school would have turned their noses up as they were anti-gun anyway.
I don't think the lefty liberal dems are after a gun grab. I gotta give them some credit here. They are smart enough to not come out and say it too. Who would they send? What branch of military or law enforcement? No matter who they should be smart enough not to want to go to armed houses and ask for their guns. There would be a war on this turf.
I wish there was a single answer. But more-so I wish these idiot kids would quit using the term "we need to change THE Law!" Oh yeah,,,,just exactly which law are you talking about? Please tell us, if it is just one law that would fix ALL this I would think that we as smart, country loving Americans would agree to implement the ONE law that would fix this.

Dana Loesch is live on Facebook and laying some smackdown back on the CNN Townhall last night; she's speaking with CPAC
So we're back to this huh? So, I assume you support your right to have a CCW, but you don't support someone else's because they just happen to be a teacher in a school? This boys and girls is hypocrisy at its finest, and I honestly don't understand how some of you could sit there and spout it.
And, let's get realistic, odds are very much against frail 70 year old Mrs. Miller CCW'ing, but if she or any other law abiding citizen with a valid CCW wants to then it should be their right to carry anywhere they damn please! Gun free zones are the stupidest thing ever, and that's another false sense of security created by the libtards that we should be trying our damndest to destroy!
