Democrats have already sent out informational emails on the incident with a link to donate to the DNC.
The DNC ALWAYS politicizes tragic events. It's like they look forward to these events, so they can use it as bait.

Wouldn't you know this is Debbie Wasserman Schultz's district?
True story.
This was no "failure" of authorities, they outright assisted it to happen by their inaction.
The school, the sheriff and the FBI had all been warned of Cruz' violent tendencies.
He never should have been able to purchase a firearm if they had reported his actions.
They also had the knowledge and legal authority to confiscate his guns but failed to do so.
Yet they blame the NRA and it's supporters.
"You have blood on your hands!".
Pot calling the kettle black here or what?

Never let a good crisis go to waste right? They hadnt even had the funeral services before they got some kids in front of the camera blathering on about feelings and opinions. Kids that seemed awful familiar from events in the past if you catch my drift.

I always find it interesting that when the media focuses on Clinton / Obama law violations something always happens to bump it off the front page of the news. I know it is a crappy thought but I am becoming more and more of the mindset that these shootings are allowed to happen and hidden thru cowardice / screw ups. The sheriff of Broward has made some interesting comments about gun control, going so far as to tell politicians that the only way you will get elected in that area is to support gun control.

I'm not following you. How exactly does a "for profit" prison system benefit from not arresting people?

Man, that some nasty # there, that's what it is.
If accurate and true / verifiable, I completely agree. I found it interesting certain politicians started calling for the head of the FBI to resign over their 2 dropped tips. Now I think we know what they were blaming the feds and ignoring their own law enforcement. Gov. Scott was one of the people calling for Wray to resign. I guess better to blame the FBI than admit his own officials in the state were corrupt.

I was on another thread recently and someone there called me sick and paranoid for thinking the facts didn't add up here and that ultimately the democrats would politicize the deaths of these kids, and may actually be at least partly responsible for them, to go for the pity vote and raise money for the DNC.
It sucks to be right sometimes.
Law enforcement just in it for the money. Gotta get the newest toys and all the military gear. Already met your quota? Take a break and lay low. No point in getting in harms way until the first of the month... I wonder if they get time and a half for civil forfeitures...

Where is the outrage for the leading cause of death for children. Traffic accidents. I am not tryin to ignore the horrors of the school shooting, but childhood deaths by fire arms is not even in the top 5 by age groups. In fact, shooting deaths are not even listed. They are lumped with other injuries.

Funny all this activism, and no one targets the leading cause of childhood fatalities. And I have been told cars are useful. Funny they don’t realize they just argued convenance over protecting children? What happen to protecting children at any cost?
We do not value guns more than our children. We value freedom. It is unfortunate that the battle for our freedom is often fought in the field of firearms. Your argument would be better suited to automobiles. Car accidents kill tens of thousands of people every year, far more than firearms, but no one says word one about banning cars. Cars are not guaranteed in the Constitution nor is an easy commute yet we gladly sacrifice these lives every year to keep our garages full. You won't hear, "What about the children?" in this argument either. The children are in their car seats in the back. And if they die tragically in a car accident we will mourn them and move on with our lives because an easy commute and a heated seat in the winter are something we just can't live without. Never mind that in Asia most people ride bikes or take public transportation to and from work. We won't do that. How can we show off the new BMW if we ride a bike to work? The only people who ride bikes to work are the guys who lost their license to a DUI.
