I hope the new generation will make better progress with the law and the system and just to know I'm 13 and what those kids said made me feel safer and to have no fear
What about the 3 million lives that are saved by guns in self defense or do we not dare mention that???
Just because you’re a victim, dosen’t mean you never did anything wrong.
Black kids are shot everyday and no one raises a eyebrow. White kids are killed international news
Changing gun laws isn’t going to do anything people break laws you know there are mad laws we have set to help people and yet they still break it so honestly don’t waste your time there’s nothing you can but at least it died down a bit we haven’t really had another lately
Questions? Which means resulting in mass injury, even death,
choice of delivery weaponry, is more desirable, clubbing with a metal baseball
bat, stabbing and slashing with a long sharp machete, or shooting with a high
caliber military style assault rifle?
Yeah Teach That!!😀😎
*17 killed kids*
*14 hurt*
*1 killer*
*and after all this crime...*
*no gun control*
Like it should be.
" he wouldnt have harmed they many students with a knife "
Yeah but its still someones life
Would rather 3 dead or 17? I don’t see how limiting deaths is a bad idea.
jayden gummy bear MSP yea that thot is stupid
Teachers and administrators fail to educate American youth, it's a disgrace; they should be ashamed of themselves for failing the students. They hide behind a smokescreen of "standardized" testing.
Bald chick: 6 minutes have passed and the gunfire has stopped. I’m blended in with students
Crowd: WHOOOOO!!!!
Someone fired a shotgun through her jeans holy hell
i feel like the people that were not in the school have forgotten the shock that they had when this was on the news. remember the terror? has it all faded? the victims however; they never forget
La Goblina!!!!
These young people were so brave. I can't imagine what it is like to see your friends dying right in front of you.
But still many americans don't get it. You talk about your liberty taken away from you with stricter gun laws? Well, I live in Germany and I never had to worry about mass shootings. It Simply doesn't happen here that often. That is it what liberty should feel like and I'm glad to live in a country like that.
She admitted that she bullied the shooter which was fuel for him shooting the school
emma gonazales...school bully. lets ask all the immigrants feeling from the south American countries to America why they are fleeing.... a better life? of course, because the only people who have real guns in their homeland countries are drug dealers and corrupt governments lol...
Not giving up rights for the acts of madmen or the negligence of sheriff Israels lack of action 29 times the sheriffs dept was at Cruzs house and they failed to act on that ticking time bomb !!!! The 2A is a inalienable right! HOGG was not even there he was caught lying These liberal socialists are truly sick in the head!
COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!
David Hogg is CIA.
This event was an active shooting drill.
You mean "it was NOT an active shooting drill, right and people DID die, right?"
guns are for cowards
That’s why most are alive
The super majority of gun owners in America have never shot anyone. Why are we criminalized constantly by Democrats?
Whenever I shoot, I normally aim for empty boxes or trees in the distance, granted no one is out there.
That bald dude has a girly voice.
Survivors? Mate, you were skipping class and getting high.
Can anyone tell me why the bald girl gets a lot of hate.
she builed the shooter making him go to this state apparently
Parkland was awful, but too many gun laws/banning certain guns are bad. Law abiding citizens are forced to wait weeks, or even months for their guns while criminals pay a dealer a few hundred dollars in cash and get their guns all Willy nilly. And why are they all saying the 'blood is on Trump's hands'? Obama was in office when many school shootings happened, and he passed much less gun laws than Trump did, why didn't anyone call Obama out? Maybe, just maybe, the media is using ANOTHER tragedy caused by a 1 in 100 nut job to push an anti-trump message! Also, Emma Gonzales doesn't know what she's saying. She contributed to the shooters mental illness, talking about compassion but admitting to bullying him severely. And he wouldn't hurt anyone with a knife? Have you seen Japan. Some people can kill more people with a kitchen knife than the shooters did with a gun!
Well, if there is another mass shooting (god forbid) be sure to hold your "no more guns" sign as a shield 🛡
How can this have twice more dislikes so heartless
@Railfan Andrew well i didn't watch it and thats cuz look hiw kuch deaths they r
@judy Radin Because these maniacs are trying to take our guns.
@Santiago Colla noooo
Maybe because gun control doesn't make any sense
NAZl PR0PAGANDA! DUH
These kids were exploited by Hollywood elites and dark money to create that movement. Sorry, but my constitutional rights are not for sale.
Narcissistic shells bent on destroying civilization.
You trump fan boys are so scared of these kids :( aw
Jaden Bickers aw you’re scared your role model President Trump is under attack? :(
You cant be that stupid.
Scared of what? Their fallacies that if they cry enough we might feel bad enough to give up our Right?
Keep dreaming, transsexual cupcake.
We have a conservative Supreme Court who are already talking about loosening gun control regulations.
But I take pleasure in knowing how much you *fear* inanimate objects.
Look, this shooting was a tragedy but they're missing part of the point. Gun laws only weaken the people of the United States. Why dont we increase school security? Pay more attention to people who may he threats. Because I can guarantee you people who go to Parkland could say " yeah there was something off about they guy who shot us up".
There needs to be better enforcement on civilians with guns. Two the culture in this country needs to do better. The thing that baffles me is I don't hear any thing about the culture in that school. Honestly that school looks like a douchebag rich private school. If the guy was seriously bullied, it is actually cute the media not wanting to look deep into the culture in that school. Lastly, better mental health. People need to see more therapists and there is nothing wrong with seeing one. They deserve more money in general.
Let's see. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel's police department (Who visited Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz's home due to over 30 domestic violence calls. But didn't even place him in custody of a mental health hospital for an overnight mental health observation), Nikolas Cruz's guardians (Who were familiar with his mental problems. But let him buy firearms instead of telling him "I am sorry. But due to your mental health problems, you are not allowed to buy firearms as long as you are living under our roof. My house, my rules!"), Nikolas Cruz's high school (Who was so familiar with Cruz's threats of violence that some teachers actually banned him from bringing a backpack to their classes), and the FBI (Whose Washington D.C. office received a tip that Cruz was planning a school shooting a few weeks before it happened. But didn't pass the tip to the Florida office). >:( But hey! Let's continue demonizing the NRA and millions of responsible, law-abiding, American gun owners! (Rolling eyes)
PUBLIC ALERT: NRA & RUSSIAN BOTS AND TROLLS SPAMMING COMMENTS SECTION. TOXIC TRUMP/RUSSIA SLUDGE COMING IN AT HIGH RATE
LOL
At least were deporting you Mexican bots. 🤣
I’m hopeful for these young people to make a difference but even on the last election cycle - 18 to 29 year olds, only 1 in 3 voted
misinformed or misguided perhaps, but not dumb like you
Guess you didn't inspire them enough.
Is it just me or do they all seem a lot more afraid of violence n their schools today then we did 30 years ago when there was a much higher rate of violence in schools? For whatever reason, this latest rally to suggest new "common sense " gun laws has culminated in the ultimate suggestion that Trump is somehow responsible for school shootings and should take less vacations. So apparently if Trump takes less vacations then we don't need to change any laws? I'm just trying to make sense of the solutions so clearly presented by these kids. In the last few years of the use of children by the liberal left to further their agenda of disarming Americans which has nothing at all to do with school shootings, I have yet to hear a single solution presented by the left except when one of them slips up and actually states that they are going to try to take all firearms away from all citizens. It has become almost comical (save for the fact they are trying to remove our constitutional rights) to hear them trying so hard NOT to say that and to hear them continually tripping over themselves to say they "are not trying to take away anyone's guns, just the bad ones." "we just want to make it so hard for a law abiding citizen to own a firearm that no one will ever be able to own one again, except criminals." I guess that way when someone is shot to death that did not deserve it, then it must have been a criminal who shot them. not exactly sound reasoning but hay, we don't do anything about your bathtubs and their responsible for more deaths in your home then your guns are if I'm not mistaken? Pharmaceutical drugs? No problem for our youth! driving deaths? you gotta learn how to drive somehow right? If it costs innocent lives in the process then you should become that much better of a driver right? Don't mind the drugs and human trafficking from south America? Just ignore the much bigger problem then school gun violence and blame it all on the one person trying to fix it all for you so you don't actually have to lift a finger trying to make things right yourself by paying closer attention to your friends and families and getting them help when they need it. I know thats asking a lot but it's not like I'm forcing you to do it.
So when poeple stop using guns and start using bombs who real the blame and after 911 why don't blame the aircraft manufacturers and ban aircraft, And let not forget the Oklahoma bombing mass killings will not stop till we do something with people of mental illness if someone want to kill they will find a way even using cars and trucks.
If some one shot the guy before he got inside we wouldn't be here know would me
what about the students that bullied him? how come if you’re victim you’ve never done anything wrong? take responsibilities instead of blaming others for it 😑
moon grazed The “deputy” that was on guard that day could have stopped the shooter.
Agendas R' Us
Republicans don't care about mass shootings.
If Democrats cared they would have done something during Obama's first term when they had both The Senant and Congress.
@Maddock fitzsimmins exterminate the mentally ill and there will be no more school shootings
Well they seem to care enough to want us all to be able to protect ourselves. you may want to take a second loooong hard look at who cares about you in this country. Your going to find a lot of Dems who say they do but act in the most direct opposition to those feelings of yours every day.
Where is David Hogg the puppet.
So 58 people die in Las Vegas more than 800 wounded and this shooting is still being pushed through by the media? Yeah let's take the guns from legally abiding citizens. That way when the criminals who don't care about laws come around itll be easier for them to hurt people.
We should just let high school students write all new federal and state laws
Lol
No they are to young to understand the world
windy city55 lmao you’re funny
Lmfao that's definitely the most ignorant thing I've heard today, please reassure me and tell me that your joking.
Lol
Molon Labe 🇺🇲
Everybody here needs to go on Google and look at pictures of mutilated white babies murdered by black racist monsters in South Africa. Saddest thing I've ever seen. This is your future, United States. Don't let evil black racists win! Fight back! Those could be your innocent babies being murdered by evil black racist monsters!fdg
Six mins twenty ,another child is brain damaged by wifi in schools .Six mins twenty a child is told they are non binary in schools
Lmao...

You can’t take my guns away.
@Railfan Andrew but which is more important a gun or a life?
@Shak SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED...
why?
Can the Parkland students united name a gun control law that only affects criminals?
I think it's their "make all gun owners criminals" law that is aimed at that.
Was there any CHANGE demanded by the people from the BREWARD COUNTY COWARDS I mean heroes my bad, not to hide behind cars like little b****s? The ones who met the CREATOR, may GOD truly protect your SOUL.
Boooooo
Who are these lobbyists?
friends of AOC.
These kids have my sympathy... until they try to take away my 2nd Amendment rights. So... f*ck them.

I feel sorry for your mother
If America did something about its stupid gun laws you then may start to save human life.
@terry I agree. Let's end Gun Free Zones.
so true. we need to repeal every one of the stupid gun laws so we can start defending ourselves against the criminal element. Well some of us will, some will cower under their beds cursing Trump for all their woes right up until the end.
