I’m not going to judge what the students of this horrific tragedy are saying right now. They’re understandably emotional. I understand their immediate desire for everyone to DO something. Democrats and MSM are wasting no time to use their emotional vulnerability to promote their political agenda.
"We call B-S-!"

Parkland student: "We are not to be bought by the NRA. … We are the ones who deserve to be kept safe because we were literally shot at" https://t.co/5yk1EL23q4

PS the whole “The NRA OWNS EVERYONE” narrative is completely false. But that’s the kind of misinformation slimy members of MSM are feeding the public.
We all know more gun laws wouldn’t have prevented this. Increased gun laws only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and others. It’s incredibly irresponsible to carelessly blame this on an inanimate object. Democratic lawmakers and liberal celebrities have to know that. Or not…
Cue Seth MacFarlane.
To those broad-stroke defenders of the 2nd amendment: How many of you have actually BEEN shot at? Any at all? Well, listen to these kids who have. https://t.co/huxCTpqcgv

If it sounds like MacFarlane’s suggesting that if you haven’t been shot at, your opinion on the Second Amendment is irrelevant, it’s because he’s suggesting that if you haven’t been shot at, your opinion on the Second Amendment is irrelevant.
You clearly have no idea why we have the 2nd amendment in the first place

I’ve been shot at, and had guns pointed at me. Would have been great if I’d had a firearm to defend myself. Are you going to listen to my lived experience Seth, or is it only teenage girls you tend to follow on gun rights?

Oh man…
I would respond to @SethMacFarlane & let him know that I've been shot at many times & thankfully I was able to shoot back… but he blocked me
Another brave guy who has the ability to outsource his safety to guys like me

No surprise that it’s so often those with personal bodyguards and sheltered lives who claim guns to be unnecessary.

Ain’t that the truth.
From another South African. I've been shot at. I've had a firearm pressed to the base of my skull. It would've been great if there was armed security or other persons carying firearms, you know, because it was inside a family restaurant. #deterent #SelfDefense

I have been robbed at gunpoint. The last thing I wanted was gun control but I did want a 9mm with hollowpoints. I was working a job that forbid it's employees to carry. Now I am a conceal carry permit holder. I refuse to be a victim again.

Instead of suggesting that the Second Amendment is outdated (it isn’t, and it’s not responsible for what happened), maybe we should talk about treating public schools like we treat other government buildings. If they truly want them to be “gun free zones,” they should have detectors and armed personnel. After all, our most prized possessions are in those buildings. They deserve better.
