Another school shooting, this time at Great Mills High School in Maryland. But this attack was cut short: two wounded students, one dead shooter. A far cry from the Parkland tragedy, with 17 killed, 14 wounded. The difference? Someone shot back.
After the Parkland shooting, the government-media cabal launched a blitzkrieg on the 2nd Amendment. Their mission: to make guns unacceptable, to paint those who defend guns and the National Rifle Association (NRA) as the enemy.
But the NRA had no role in any shooting. The NRA doesn't get calls on dangerous persons, isn't given tips, doesn't see the warning flags. People don't call the NRA to protect them; they call the police. And so they did in Parkland.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office got over 40 calls on Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland shooter. None resulted in a written report. Had law enforcement done their job, they could have prevented the Parkland shooting. The FBI, got two tips that Nikolas Cruz was going shoot up a school. They ignored the calls.
Then there's the elephant in the room: gun-free zones, the law that turned our schools into killing fields. Congress picked a friendly phrase, "gun-free zone," to suggest there are no guns anywhere near our children. And what could go wrong if there are no weapons within a thousand feet of a school?
Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland. That's what can go wrong.
Why not try making Capitol Hill a gun-free zone? Make our fearless leaders' safe space a liberal bastion, armed only with high-minded politics, just like our schools and military bases. And like other gun-free zones, there will be no armed Capitol Police, no private bodyguards, no Secret Service, zero tolerance.

Yeah - this shooting got a real big play in the MSM (crickets)
FBI knew about the Florida shooter.
Sheriff knew about shooter.
David Hogg, son of FBI agent, conveniently did not attend school that day.
Law enforcement told to stand down during shooting despite criteria to “go to the shooter” since Columbine.
Within 48 hours,Busses ready to ship students all over the nation for organized demonstrations complete with preprinted signs. TV and radio interviews day and night. Media deluge.
All too convenient. Think this wasn’t pre-planned? Thi
These bobble-heads just want NRA to disappear. Have they ever figured out what would happen if it did? Together with the members who support it? Which of these mass shooters were NRA members? Hmmm?
Hopefully we can all now get over these demonstrations and start to investigate what really happened to allow a demonstrated person of risk to kill so many. Blaming the weapon of choice and having the liberal media push and promote gun control is a cover up for failed government action, or in this case, inaction. Perhaps one should ask why are government officials trying to take our guns when it is governmental policy on multiple levels that has failed? What makes matters worse is that these policies were in place to insure safety in a gun free zone. Why didn’t anyone foresee a breach in security and have a plan in place for addressing same?
Although most of this article is good the second sentence is wrong. The girl died.
I just want conservative writers to be very accurate since the Leftists are always so very wrong.
