You can bet if immigrants or Muslim terrorists had perpetrated these atrocities on our schools, he wouldn’t be wringing his hands.

People around the world have admired Americans for our “can-do”, gung-ho, let’s get it done attitude. Now we can’t keep our kids safe, safeguard our democracy, or protect our climate. Where did that country go?

Too thin, Marco. I suspect this kind of thing won’t be good enough any more. But you were always a dull-witted coward, weren’t you?

DeFede: “What is a legitimate reason for an AR-15 to be able to have 30 or 50 rounds in a clip?”

Rubio: “Well…they are used in hunting…"

“…school children.”

The argument that this or that legislation “wouldn’t have prevented” any given mass murder is nothing but a red herring. Some intrepid interviewer should ask Rubio the following question: “If legislation to ban ownership of guns like the AR-15 or bump stocks would reduce the number of fatalities in the next school or church shooting, would you support it?” Perhaps some things can’t be prevented, but their impacts can be minimized, and that’s a worthy goal, especially when it saves children’s lives.

Rubio is a worm. I hope this ends his political career. It can’t happen soon enough.

"Number two, there are millions of them in the street already. They’re here to stay. The genie’s out of the bottle.”

Right. Because nobody had a gun in Australia when they passed their ban back in the 90s. Rubio is not stupid. That makes him a liar.

Actually, that merely solidifies his status as such

Or, if you’re like Marco, talk about doing all of them at some vague, undefined future date, and do nothing as the present keeps rolling on…

The sheer volume of unmitigated nonsense leaving Rubios lips is an embarrassing tidal wave of disrespect to the victims of these ongoing tragedies. If people keep buying this tripe,we can expect more violent blood baths and more non remedies from the people entrusted to address the slaughter.

The genie’s out of the bottle.

I missed that part in Aladdin where Jafar mowed down 20 kids without reloading. Must have been the director’s cut.

You need to get out more! We are by far and away NOT the greatest country on earth. We aren’t even in the top 10 and much more of a shit hole country than the one’s Trump freely characterizes. The US is #1 in violence, wars, occupying other nations, gun deaths, and now government corruption (moving up from 5th place).

There’s a lot here…but okies

Rubio said there wasn’t any evidence the ban would prevent mass shootings, and added that “there are legitimate reasons why people want those–”

“What is a legitimate reason for an AR-15 to be able to have 30 or 50 rounds in a clip,” DeFede interjected.

“Well, first of all, they don’t have 50. The second reason is people that are in– whether it’s sport shooting, or, for example they are used in hunting, I heard somebody say yesterday that they’re not.”

“What I’m trying to tell you is that I don’t have that bill yet. Because we don’t fully understand everything that could’ve been done to prevent this,” he said, adding that it was “not a simple thing like there’s one idea and if you do this one thing, this’ll never happen again.”

Well, we’ve had just 19 years since Columbine, so I can understand if we don’t have all the information yet. takes time.
