Well, talk about a tale of two meetings. The one hosted by President
Trump with those who have been victimized by mass shootings was
respectful, grounded, and doled out logical solutions. Yes, there was
some talk about assault weapons bans and Australian-style gun control,
but a lot of family members who lost their loved ones to gun violence
said more armed guards, possibly the teachers themselves should be
considered.
Better security at schools concerning access to
buildings also need to be addressed as well. That was earlier in the
afternoon on Wednesday. Later that evening, CNN held a town hall event
in Sunrise, Florida. The National Rifle Association agreed to
participate, along with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Bill Nelson (D-FL),
and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL). It was a hostile environment. Period. Sen. Nelson wants a new ban on so-called assault weapons. He slammed Gov. Rick Scott for incentivizing a gun manufacturer that makes the AR-15 rifles to move to Florida. That was the main course in this segment, which was broken up into two parts. The second half was with NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.
