  1. Chicago has the strictest gun control in the United States and aprrox. 800 people are killed on Chicago streets and this has nothing to do with school shootings,…What does Parkland want?…are they going after the gangs of Chicago?

  2. 3:50 THIS IS THE LOGIC OF THESE PEOPLE…. SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY HAD SOME OF THE STRICTEST GUN LAWS… THE CITIES AND STATES WITH THE STRICTEST GUN LAWS HAVE THE MOST GUN CRIME! AND THE CITIES WHERE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A GUN IN YOUR HOUSE HAVE THE LOWEST….

  3. WE CALL BS! 30K PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR FROM GUNS IN THE U.S. 75% OF WHICH ARE SUICIDES! IN 2014K ONLY 14 LIVES WERE LOST DUE TO MASS SHOOTINGS IN THAT LAST 25%!!!! WE CALL BS!! THE CDC SAYS 300K TO 3 MILLION LIVES ARE SAVED EACH YEAR BECAUSE OF GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS!! WAKEUP!!! DONT FEED INTO BULLSHIT MEDIA HYPING THIS SHIT UP!!! I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE STRICTER LAWS ON CHECKING PEOPLE FOR MENTAL ISSUES AND MEDICATIONS FOR CERTAIN FIREARMS! WE CALL BS!!! THE VAST MAJORITY OF MASS SHOOTINGS AND SHOOTINGS IN GENERAL ARE DONE WITH PISTOLS! NOT RIFLES!!!! I CALL BS! MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WTF THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THIS ISSUE… WAKE THE FUCK UP

  4. There are so many sheep here. God…China, Venezuela, Russia, North Korea would've love to have people like these antigun sheep under their control! Their stupidity is so bad, got a headache from them. Thank god there are some smart people and smart kids in school, and no…I'm not talking about the March for Our Lies kids either.

  5. This little knucklehead didn't learn his lesson but now he has, he just didn't live to tell about it. Everybody ain't tolerating these knuckleheads. She got no business feeling guilty, his little ass robbed your son at gunpoint for a sorry ass cellphone which has no real value cause new models are coming out every so often. Thats stupid. He didn't have enough sense to know that you just can't go around robbing people and get away with it. Fuck this kid, he got what he deserved. I'm not feel sorry for every kid that gets killed when he or she is out to kill someone else's kid for some silly shit. Fuck that. Can't nobody give me any real reason for killing at will that makes sense unless it's self defense or protecting your home, business, family, or fellow man. Otherwise it makes no sense.

  6. The NRA has this twisted notion that the government and the left wing activists wanna take away all out guns and abolish the 2nd Amendment. That couldn't be further from the truth. That will never happen.

  7. Nah man no matter what the crime in Chicago will never stop honestly been going on since the Mob days n will still continue for ever…everything is corrupt and everyone is working for someone. Anyone from the Chi knows that.

  8. Marching for safer schools and the reduction of guns in America is just the first push. Getting to the second part of the battle which is proverty, mental illness and hopelessness. This will be our real challenge. Children need year around engagment with real financial opportunities that will grow with them into adulthood.

  9. Now they want to talk about it when white people are getting killed but black people were dying in the streets I didn’t see any of there faces but now when it benefits them they want black people money and vote fuck that

  10. What these kids don’t understand until they take money out of politics your vote will never count. Yeah you vote somebody in but that person in office even if they have good intentions have to pickup the phone when that person who contributed a million dollars to you asks for a favor. Or when the big money corporations who fund the whole party ask for a favor you think you’ll last when you tell them no you can’t do something.

  11. Broward County school supt toes the Obama line on the PROMISE program
    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/24/broward-superintendent-keep-focus-on-gun-control-not-obama-policy-to-end-school-to-prison-pipeline/
    by Dr. Susan Berry 24 Mar 2018

    Broward County, Florida, superintendent of schools Robert Runcie says it is “fake news” that his PROMISE school leniency program likely allowed accused school shooter Nikolas Cruz to remain under the radar of law enforcement and, therefore, able to purchase the firearm that killed 17 individuals at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018.

    Max Eden, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute,52 Vanderbilt Avenue,New York, NewYork 10017 (212) 599-7000 mi@manhattan-institute.org https://www.manhattan-institute.org/ , however, tells Breitbart News Runcie’s explanation warrants a closer look.

    “Runcie’s careful formulation contains a falsehood, several omissions, and obfuscations,” Eden says. “It doesn’t cover middle school, where Cruz racked up about two dozen offenses and was transferred into an intensive behavior management school – without ever getting an arrest record.”

    “Runcie claims that PROMISE only covered ‘non-violent’ offenses,” Eden observes. “That’s just straight false. The 2013 version covered assault and fighting; the 2016 version covered ‘affray,’ i.e., fighting. That means Cruz’s fights were only deemed non-PROMISE eligible based on administrator discretion, not policy.”

    “Given that Cruz is alleged to have threatened students, it’s also worth noting that ‘threats’ are a PROMISE-eligible offense,” he continues. “Perhaps those incidents weren’t recorded as threats. Students have reported that Cruz brought bullets and knives to school. Perhaps those incidents weren’t recorded at all. Or perhaps they were and Runcie’s statement eludes them; the discipline matrix doesn’t highlight Class B Weapons as a PROMISE-eligible Incident.”

    Eden urges a careful look at “the hurdles Runcie built into the new discipline matrix.”

    “After failing to get Cruz involuntarily committed to a mental institution, the school developed a plan: don’t let him bring a backpack because maybe he’ll kill everyone,” he explains. “Then he commits an assault. Used to be, there were four categories for assault and you could call the cops for three. But now, there were three categories and you could only call the cops for the most serious form of assault. So, despite everything about his record and insane behavior, policy prohibited administrators from sending him to law enforcement when he committed that assault … three weeks before he legally bought an AR-15.”

    The 2016 PROMISE collaborative agreement among the school district, law enforcement, and community partners – such as the NAACP – also resolves that the parties “follow the letter and spirit of the ESSA [federal Every Student Succeeds Act] provisions to reduce exclusionary disciplinary practices, while implementing prevention and intervention programs for children and youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at-risk.”

    “The parties will also follow the Department of Justice and Department of Education Guidelines on School Climate and Discipline,” the PROMISE agreement states.

    At a recent Heritage Foundation panel focused on the reported disorder that has resulted from the Obama-era school leniency policy, U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Gail Heriot, a professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law, observed that the Obama administration essentially told schools that if teachers and principals are disciplining proportionally more African American students than white or Asian students, “we’re coming after you with massive investigations and threats to cut off your funding.”

    “Under this approach it’s not actual race discrimination that gets schools in trouble,” Heriot noted. “It’s having ‘bad numbers.’”

    “Nobody disputes that African American students are disciplined at higher rates than white students or Asian students nationally,” she observed. “But what if the reason for that is that African Americans misbehave more often, and what if the cost of failure to discipline those students falls on their fellow African American students who are trying to learn amid classroom disorder?”

    Heriot also emphasized that white students get disciplined at rates higher than Asian students and that boys get disciplined at higher rates than girls.

    “Yet, no one seems very interested in those bad numbers,” she asserted.

    According to Heriot, it is “virtually undisputed that students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to misbehave in school than students from middle-class backgrounds.”

    However, the U.S. Civil Rights commissioner said research shows that prior problem behavior is the best predictor of who will get suspended from school – and not race.

    She observes the Obama-era policy has produced two “severely negative effects”:

    First, it’s caused schools to back away from discipline generally, with the result of more chaotic classrooms. Second, it has led to real discrimination, where white and Asian students on the one hand, and African American students on the other, operate under different discipline rules – all in order to make the numbers look good.

    Heriot urges the Trump U.S. Education Department to withdraw the Dear Colleague letters establishing the lenient discipline policy and put teachers and principals back in charge.

  12. I was total BS because she went on regulations of gun control and she didn’t talk about the violence between black on black we’re talking about two different subjects crazy white people obtaining guns and shooting people in mass spree and black people shooting other black people randomly over beef overstepping on your sneakers just nonsense
