Opinion: This is what happened when 3 nations that experienced mass shootings did something about it
Opinion by Philip Alpers
A man -- almost always a man -- commonly with no criminal history and no diagnosis of mental illness, armed with a lawfully obtained semiautomatic 'assault' weapon, kills and injures a large number of innocents in a place they imagined to be safe.
It happens around the world, but horrifyingly more and more often in the United States, most recently in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York.
To those of us who live in culturally similar nations, but where the availability of lethal weapons is limited, Americans' increasing reliance on guns even in the face of escalating horrors is unfathomable.
We live in far less fear of gunfire, and view America's self-inflicted problem with firearms as a symptom of crippling political dysfunction. As each shooting eclipses the last, as fear and ideology trump the evidence once again, it's terrifying to imagine the scale, the sheer enormity of the tipping point which might finally force American politicians to face their collective responsibility and enact change.

As long as there is money in politics, the system is compromised.

Yeah, these politicians only get like $120,000 salaries, yet they end up having 8 figure net worths. Interesting.

As long as people are allowed to vote, you won’t see gun control.

@@vha3742171 the nra has nothing to do with it..do car manufacturers send money to people in car accidents...idiot
Love the question asked to this shameful liar 🤥.
Perfection!
It’s a simple yes or no question. Seriously, “there’s no way you can NOT accept money from the NRA.” Really. All he has to do is tell the NRA he’s not going to accept any more money from them…🙄
A politician that doesn't answer a question to a high school student is not a true politician but an opportunistic that wants to stay in power.
Said politician and others like him respond to the NRA, the arms industry but not to their constituents.
Money talks.
Say what you want, you will never be able to disarm Americans. It’s too late, not matter what laws you try to pass or how much you virtue signal. Good luck with that.
@@albertopalma1663 but unfortunately his constituents return him to the Senate therein the problem and he speaks for white people
And to pretend it does not get the NRA instant access to him is ludicrous. He and every politician who takes their money is in constant contact with them with any laws regarding guns. The next generation once all these dinosaurs die off will ban weapons.
@@albertopalma1663 lolol..sure does..ask joe
Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn’t know what money he’s taking. He knows exactly what he’s taking!
Lol
Let’s dispel with this fiction that the question to Marco Rubio is not dishonest and racist. Any poli5icians taking money from the violent and vicious BLM? Ask that question, crooked CNN.

I hope this kid grows up to take his job and office.
You are a idiot.my second amendment I will defend with my life.
The kid asks stronger questions than the journalists!!!!
This is great. It applies so much more today.
Truth eventually comes to light.
Thank you, young man for the perfect questions and your poise. 🇺🇲
He dodges the question. That's a yes or no question.
He only asked him that question to trap him, politicians aren't stupid they have been playing this game a long time.
@@marchealgideon7916 he didn't dodge. He was just polite enough not to hurt the little boy on his face by saying something 180 degree opposite.
Actually his answer was appropriate.
@@mrd6591 when someone ask you a yes or no question, then gives you an explaination instead you know they're hiding something or it's a cover up of some sort. It's like a cop asking a teenager, are you 18 years old or older? Yes or no, why is their a need to explain yourself??🤨
Timelessmusic Familymusic what ever you say detective douche rocket. That was a loaded question and used the tragedy of parkland to further their un-American anti-2nd amendment agenda. Those damn people didn’t give a crap about what happened. They see it as a method of disarming Americans; AND THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. The NRA has absolutely nothing to do with Parkland. They teach gun safety and responsible gun ownership. So back off the 2nd Amendment issue. It’s a fight you and your liberal dictators won’t and can not win.
And it was at that moment Rubio knew he fucked up...

@@aomorgancool1775 Not sticking up for Wall-Street, no way. Marco Rubio is a good person.

The way that young man adressed the senator 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My thoughts and prayers for Marco Rubio's conscience.
its well beyond that.
Don't think he has one.
When a senator is uncomfortable and not standing behind a podium and well written speech, you’ll see who they really are.
Rubio is like: Fuuuuuuuuuucccckkk... I thought they were kids..
Nahidul Islam Rafi They are Kids.
I think they should let the people that write their scripts ask the questions instead
Rubio had the balls to show up and answer the questions because its really not about gun control its about taking action on a nutcase that was not done by the police department. Democrats are using these kids for their gun control agenda and elections and this kid Cameron is well rehearsed.
Nahidul Islam Rafi What are you taking about theyr just acting like braty kids,adults try to talk not making jokes or yelling and enterupting others,kids need to learn manners and the 2nd Amendment
These kids are being given scripted everything. And this kid acting as though Rubio accepting his flock of sheep's higher bid is morally superior is absolutely ludicrous. These kids don't have the faintest clue as to what they're talking about, and it's time that our society stops lending credence to the youth of our country. I would be sorry for these kids if they weren't pissing down half of the country's back and telling them it's raining. In one breath they'll say to stop being divisive, and that "we're all red, white and blue", and the next they'll scream "fuck the NRA", and comparing Marco Rubio to the shooter at parkland. Anybody who buys into their drivel is intellectually defunct.
Well spoken young man...gives me hope for our youth
"The influence doesn't come from the money" - Yea right!
The only influence Rubio has is for the money going his pockets.
Wait.... you can buy a gun before you can drink?!
What a fucking ignorant. You really didn't knew that?
Are you all unaware why they made the age 21 to drink? It’s not like there’s a statistic showing all the teen drunk driving accidents at a all time high when it was at a younger age. Teens and adults who just get their license and have the option to buy alcohol is not good.
Seeing as I don't live in the USA, no I would assume the legal age to buy a gun would be at least 21!@@draco8152
@@thisisliv1008 I'm not from the states either. Films however show their respective guns laws in a lot of movies
@@thisisliv1008 thank you
So the answer is “yes, I will always accept money from the NRA.”
There's no reason why he shouldn't. Respect for Rubio went up after seeing this. Nice to see somebody standing up to these liberals zombies.
YES WITH A CHERRY ON TOP ... THATS WHY HE IS IN OFFICE BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS VOTED HIM INTO OFFICE ... AND PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR BABY KILLERS AND BIG GOVERNMENT DIDNT ...
HELL YA
catherine4112001 look I agree with the kids for the most part, but you have to see where he’s coming from. A politician needs money to be successful, bottom line, and what he’s saying is he will accept money from them as long as they will give it. That said should take a stance that they are against ( as he most likely has) then it’s up to them to cut the funding, not him. Why not make both the money to support his career and continue to change things for the better.
Do you not realize that the NRA is made up of millions of voters. Who are average, everyday Americans. Most of whom are conservatives and voted for people like Rubio, to uphold our constitutional rights.
It's not some fucked up fringe organization.
My late husband use to have this saying “I meant it when I said it but I don’t mean it now” which was his way of getting out of stuff he promised to do…in the long run - it was nothing more than BS to please me at that moment with the hopes I would forget..I have been to many rallies supporting common sense gun laws..It’s sad that the only laws being passed are allowing more people who may not have any knowledge or training to carry guns.
@Burr Anderson sorry - she is not there to say “it’s ok”
To the young man who asked that priceless question, do not forget the fire you felt in your gut when you stood face to face with that man in power and cornered him, let that fire ingnight something bigger in you. Turn that feeling into passion and commitment I pray you should make it to office one day and make the changes that that grown man was too afraid to make and too weak to take on.
I’m here watching this 4 yrs later after 19 children and two teachers were massacred while the NRA holds a convention in the same state. 4 yrs and many mass shootings later, the only thing that has changed is that guns are even more easy to get. Did I mention that the good guys with guns lost against the one bad 18 yr old with two AK47s. I hope this politician, whoever he is, sees the blood on his hands every day for the rest of his life.
super well said-here for the same reason
Me 2
If only republicans have the spine to raise the age limit to 21, the shooting in robb elementary will not happen
You don't need good guys with guns, you need brave guys with guns

The other day again Marco Rubio, Republican from Florida said the kid would have just used a different weapon.
It is so sick to see that this was 4 years ago & he says the same damn thing.
The NRA still had their damn convention just a couple hundred miles away.
Dumpster Trumpster & Cancun Cruz & Asshole Abbott still went to Speak (sent a video) with no Care in their speech for the 19 Beautiful Children & 2 teachers & the Husband of 1 teacher that also died because the kid was able to buy those damn guns on his 18th Birthday.
It is the Guns, they Are the Reason the kids get the guts to commit the crimes.

I admire all these kids for going up to these politicians and speaking out , I hope we as a country can take action to prevent these things from happening again
👊✌👊
y'know what？ they are never afraid of you young ppl or anybody going out there and confronting them like that, because they know you cant do anything about it, you cant fight them, it's their game and you're not on the table
Copy… (two months later) paste.
The youth of our country will not tolerate inaction from our political leaders in the future, so organizations like the NRA will eventually become a part of a dark history in this country as we evolve into a more sophisticated society.
except then these kids do NOT vote as a bloc in general. in fact they are lowest % voting group of all.
Disgusting! Couldn't say no and then justifies his comments! Absolutely Gross!! Kudos to Cameron! Well done you!
Like all corrupt politicians, beholden to those who grease their palms, they avoid to give a straigth answer. Very slick and glib. It is YES or NO, as I was taught that those two are the most important words.
If the answer was "No", he would've said "no". It's very simple. So all that waffling meant he will take the money. At least have the guts to say so.
Guts? What average politician has the guts to response contrary to what his donors want to hear? Rubio is no exception.
His agenda is the NRA's agenda.
Watching this actually made me feel physically sick to my stomach. Rubio will stand in front of this young man who has been forever traumatized by a school shooting and point out that he will continue to accept NRA money.
…and he’s used that NRA money to get re-elected, so we’re being hoodwinked by Rubio. He’s not there if the electorate said ‘enough’, but we don’t. It’s depressing.
they wont give up 1 penny to save a childs life, unless its their own & their kids have bodyguards with guns
I'm watching this and see the strength of these young adults and think maybe we'll be okay after all though change may come slowly
We need armed guards in every school in America now right now it should have already been done Lonnie ray
"Help anybody who agrees with my agenda" !??? Who the hell does that sound like?
These people make me sick as hell. Cancer in these cozy little private schools little Christian schools oh my word up above... I just want to scream!
He did answered the question with his evasive answers. It’s clear that he will not reject the money...
Rubio sure used a lot of words to say no.
"There's no way to prevent this" says only developed nation where this regularly happens.
I haven't heard any public figure say we can't greatly reduce/prevent mass shootings and violent crime- we actually have all the laws we need already on the books... America is a FREE country, and we're also the world's most famous Anti-Fascism Force for good.
The FBI, the sherriff, everyone knew about this kid and got warned dozens of times. I just don't know how we are letting the government off the hook.
Australia knows how to take care of biz. After the Assault Weapon Ban, No Mass shootings in 22 years....yup that would be 0
twilightsprite1
Australia also has 7% of the US population, Australia also doesn't have a porous southern border which allows extremely violent MS-13 gang members to enter the nation.
SmashBrosBrawl and what about europe?
"I pledge to support any law..". Yet opposes every single one of them.
Rubio like most Republicans know they can just lie to answer any questions. Trump did it for 4 years and dumb ,guillible people believed it .Vote all Republicans out of office.
🥰🥰😍😍I love this young man for confronting Rubio!!!
Young people rise up, make a change and a difference!!!
MJ…..Man in the mirror-gonna make a change!!!!

The right to keep and bear 🐻 arms shall not be infringed, that’s the only position that is American 🇺🇸
If that was my child standing there I would be SO proud of him for calling Rubio out on his canned political answer!! Well done young man, I hope young men and women like that run for office and rule that country someday!!
Tom, I admired these kids as well standing up. How did you like when they asked CNN scripted questions? Feel the same?
Tom Murphy my child would respect the constitution put into place and not align with other puppets to push a gun narrative. Certain kids involved in this crisis have been preparing for this garbage. Just like David Hogg hiding with other classmates in the school conducting interviews on every ones thoughts on gun control while there was an "active shooter" on campus. Only problem is little David wants to be a journalist and help push false narratives just like his former fbi daddy who cries while showing no tears lol David also forgot to not call out interview times in a video when it contradicts the actual shooting itself. People are to quick to take what they are told and spew garbage about it instead of taking out a little time and researching this trash to think for yourself!
Joe Po scripted or not it took courage to stand up on that stage and speak what people all over the world are thinking ( I’m Canadian) yes there are 2 sides to every discussion and respect must be given to both. I stand by my previous statements I’d be damned proud of him
I hope his dad runs for Rubio's seat and wins!
Tom: With his canned political questions???
These Parkland kids sound more educated and savvy than all those do nothing politicians
On mammas
They are ignorant
How dumb can we be by making it legal to accept bribes !!!
When calling out these idiots its time for people to become more aggressive not physically but call out his B.S.
"There's money on both sides of every issue in America."
That's, in my humble opinion, exactly Americas most prominent problem in politics. It's pretty corrupt.
Rubio is exactly the same corrupt politician as the majority in his party!!
We stopped being a democracy the moment money was defined as free speech. We're a screwed country
These are the young adults who are going to change this country. Get ready to clean out your desk, Marco.
His Senate seat isn't up for election until 2022
John Noecker is cancelled
These are the young adults who are eating tide pods, lol. Banning guns won't change anything. American culture is the problem, your country is a fucking shithole when it comes to morals and values, that's why deranged kids start shootings. If you want a gun, you can get one easily, legally or not. They shouldn't have any guns in the first place, in Europe it's like that. Now your have hundreds of millions of guns all over the country. 80% of them won't be conficated, be sure of that.
John Noecker
They're going to get more school kids killed, and turn our country into a Joseph Stolen Russia.
Do blame the Drunk Driver, blame the car.
Yeah, that make sense.
3:30ish: Rubio- "There's money on both sides of every issue in America, and where that leaves us in policy making is to look at the issues and make a decision based on what is right"
So he acknowledges corruption and says that it doesn't effect how policy is made... what a complete joke
Typical politicians always giving evasive answers regardless of party affiliation. Sad but true for the most part.
it looks good when a adult stumble to a teenage's straight question.
Md. Shahnawaz Khan i dont think the questions were delving enough. Just because Rubio supports and believes something that the NRA disagrees with DOES NOT mean that Rubio's decisive actions are not influenced by them. Rubio may not believe in teachers having guns, but if the NRA said you must support a law allowing teachers to have guns or I will take away money that funds your "agenda" would he support that law against his values? Based on his beating around the bush I believe that to be the case.
Lol it's not like he asked where do babies come from this is pathetic
yes Mr. the question is as easy as where do the baby comes from.
it doesn't matter who wrote the questions as long as they are valid and correct.
Its not about the NRA its about the shootings and the topic of guns not whether the NRA funds Rubios campaign these kids are becoming so ridiculous
This younger generation is going to hold us accountable y'all. BE TRUE.
The younger generation is soft and misguided by a biased society leaning socially left.
john D if you need a child to tell you that gun regulations should be tightened your intellect must be severely distorted
*The younger generation is soft and misguided by a biased society leaning socially left.*

right after he asked the question i started tearing up because i knew already that Cameron wasn't going to get a solid answer. breaks my heart
Are you deaf? The answer was obvious if you listened. He will continue to take money - but he does not buy into the company’s agenda rather his own. So where he disagrees with the NRA he’ll disagree and vote accordingly.
@@didnever1202 I'm saying he didnt answer right away. He could have just answered yes or no.
Why aren’t they saying these people weren’t known to be truly crazy until they started killing. How do they say we are to stop that?
What could he say? He's bought and paid for. He just can't say that out loud.
@@didnever1202 The question asks for a yes/no answer. After saying yes or no, Little Rubio could've elaborated any way he wanted and as a politician he could've placed words his way in his speech. If people buy what he says is a different story.
Yes/no, he didn't answer.
Many people have forgotten, or I must say don't think about shootings all the time but he is still a senator, and the NRA still fuels some political campaigns. That's the sad reality.
"People buy into my agenda", No they just buy you full stop.
Exactly!
Well no. Cause I guarantee that if he stopped advocating for our natural right to self defense, the NRA would find another candidate that did support that. They buy the ideals, not the man.
Of course the NRA wouldn't give him money if he stopped supporting their agenda. The point is he's a corrupt politician who mainly supports them in order to get that money.
Bear Ram You’ve got it backwards. He supports gun rights. Cause and effect, people who share similar beliefs support him. This is free speech. Not corruption. There is no proof whatsoever that Rubio is corrupt. He stands by his beliefs and he believes in the second amendment. If he did not support the second amendment, the NRA would find another candidate that did. There is no corruption here.
Bear Ram Planned parent hood has given a lot more money to politics than the NRA. Notably to Hillary. Is she corrupt for taking money from an organization that likes what she has to say? No. That is one of the only things about her that is not corrupt.
Simple straight question are you going to stop accepting money. Yes or no. You know what is called giving money to politicians in most countries bribe.
4 years ago. 17 dead. Today 19 dead. Still no change.
The kid should ask “do you serve the NRA or your constituents?”
CANTDOANYTHINGABOUTIT nothing to do with the NRA.. No NRA member has shot up a school..fact
It seems Rubio's personal agenda isnt for the NRA or students at all. He's more a "do nothing and pray nothing happens" kind of guy. NRA wants more guns and the kids want less yet he doesn't do anything definitive for either side
No the kid should've asked a meaningful question
NRA members are constituents...boom
That is what I call dodging a question. Conclusion: He will take money from the NRA anytime.
As he should - if he stands with the NRA.
@@iammovingtokorea They own his ass.
@@jamesscimone1447 Truth hurts, I know. But the fact remains Rubio takes money from the NRA. Now, go take your Lysol as proposed by Trump. You deserve it. And no whining, please.

He made good points. He supported laws that would help Americans and safety against shooting but the NRA didn't that's not on Rubio if I could vote for him I definitely would. He is a 2nd amendment supporter but has views on adjusting certain laws to help Americans. Who gives a crap who gives him money if the NRA does ok cool. I support the 2nd amendment.
Every year in November we need to get out and vote 🗳 that is the only way we will get law makers to work for us , and if they don't we vote them out next time
Me, I would have pointed the index finger of my right hand up, then pointed my index finger of my left hand down and traced an orbit around the right hand's index finger, and said "Sir... Sir... Sir... If I may, you're dancing around my question. Please, just a simple yes or no. The people here deserve a simple answer to a simple question."
If he continued to dance around it, I'd simply announce to the crowd that the answer is then a yes, and in voting for this man, we are also in cooperation with the wishes of the NRA rather _in conflict_ with the _obvious_ wishes of the people present at this gathering.
But, what a great young man. I wish I had been that confident and that sharp at his age. He's got serious potential.
A high school guy make a senator nervous. I am happy.

Just remember older generations, you forced them to grow up & see the world for what it really is.
@John Grit that generation lied and polluted and made the lives of the future generation horrible. Tell that to the people who lost their loved ones to covid 19.
That generation also managed to ruin the lives of many college students with debts. That generation was also indoctrinated with religion and hate. That generation murdered millions of innocents in the middle East. I guess that's something to be proud of.
If the older generation has done something good, they have taught the young how to not be a complete load of shit.
@John Grit the worst our generation has done is live. And even that is unacceptable because the older generation are a bunch of babies who care about nothing but themselves.
@John Grit the older generation has a lot to apologise for.
@John Grit I do have a low IQ. I chose to become an environmental engineer. I know what the older generation has done. I worked in the mines for a year.

@@JR-ld1et what are you talking about? Like most uneducated you didn't read the entire second amendment
@@jmswillow5969 I agree that the second amendment is not what most think it is but these young guys are hurt and angry and want someone to pay for what happened and want things to be done to stop it from ever happening again. I get it . But law enforcement is there always after something happens unfortunately, that’s just the way it works . And not always , but sometimes …at least you can fight back if you have a functioning weapon. A gun doesn’t make everyone equal but it could give you a chance at least. I’m ok with the gun buying age to be at 21 but that still doesn’t change the horrible mentality of many today . Most people are selfish and will even hurt someone
just to get ahead in life if they think nobody will find out. People need to start doing the right thing . Caring about others and if their actions purposely hurt someone else. It’s not always just because someone can do something they should do it , people need to consider whether or not they should actually do something ,,,or not …..
Ladies and gentlemen. A U.S senator squirming to try and come out on top against a teenager who asked him a simple question.
Rainman Slim id like to see you try and answer questions to that chaotic crowd which even the moderator had to acknowledge they weren’t being rational. Where were all the kids when sandy hook and numerous other mass shootings happened under Obama’s watch? Didn’t see anyone blaming Obama for failing to implement gun laws then? Before you blame republican congress and senate remember that Obama had a super majority his first two years in office which means they could of literally passed anything they wanted. Of course the safety of kids wasn’t his priority then.
Chaotic yes absolutley and with all the right dead children and war guns in schools yes
Not simple it was a loaded question! Not accepting money from the NRA is not going to solve this issue.
Nate w fuck you, this is a simple question about accepting lobby money from a pro gun organization that goes out of its way to pay politicians for its narrative.
You’re fucking sad.
Nate w what do you mean you'd like to see OP answer that question? He isn't taking bribes from the NRA now is he, so of course he'd be able to answer that question. And why blame Obama for not implementing gun laws? The Republicans could be doing it now, but they aren't!!
Politicians don’t know how to answer a question, just say no I will not give up NRA money and then explain your reasons!
What a world we live in where a teenager has to ask his political leader if hes willing to give up something so pointless yet so dangerous that its threatens his life and everybody in his class every single day . And that politican biting his teeth and not wanting to just simply say "Yes" matter done solved so all the kids can go back to what matter! LEARNING!
This is why people hate politicians.
At least Rubio didn't lie to him. I rather have strict psychological test before purchasing guns. But I would also want to know if the inbred Nikolas Cruz was on any medication. Medication has proven to make people go psycho.
Thomas Wayne totally agree with you.
Thomas Wayne No this why CNN no longer has a good reputation
You probably agree with all brainwashed liberals.
Thomas Wayne: why?
i don't freaking know! much respect to the young generation!
"NRA donations to Rubio have ANYTHING to do with what happened in Florida LOL"
It has EVERYTHING to do with what happened in Florida. Have you not seen the popular gun regulation bills being shot down in Congress thanks to NRA lobbying?
Lobbying is nothing more than bribery.

It a pity that CNN would never ask a question like that
I feel for these kids, I live in Denver, Colorado, which is only about 20 minutes away from Littleton where Columbine High School is. I would love to see AR 15 rifles completely banned but we will never see it because as long as we have the 2nd Amendment, AR 15 and similar assault rifles will be protected by the NRA under the blanket of the 2nd Amendment. What disgust me about the NRA is they will fight tooth and nail against any reasonable gun legislation like raising the age to purchase any gun to 21, extended wait on gun purchases, more extensive background checks. The problem is, the crazy nut jobs who shouldn't be allowed a gun are using the same rights as responsible gun owners to purchase one.
OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED
Take the money out of politics
it runs on money !
HOw will hillary fund her campaign without receiving money from Goldman Sachs :(
H. Ellis That goes for taking money from unions, Everytown, Bloomberg, Planned Parenthood, Soros as well.
At this point.... 1:00 Rubio wishes with every fibre of his being that he hadn't gone there tonight.
Because that one question was the *LAST* question he wanted anyone to ask. I think the term is *Busted.*
Agree with you 100% but he did show up. Where was the Gov and Prez?
Lullaby MARCO RUBIO LIKE ALL OF THE GOP AND TRUMP THE DUMP ARE THE NRAS BITCHES. VITE THEIR ASSES OUT THIS NOVEMBER
He showed he really is Macro Rubio, not Marco. No cojones.
Ask everyone of these politicians this same question, and they dance around the truth!
I believe he just signed the death warrant of the rest of his political career.

Politicians in Australia cannot accept money from people that would cause a conflict of interest, clearly that would benefit things in the US.
We as a country are in a debate over how this country is so fiercely armed , I’m at a crossroads why this is so hard to fix , unless it’s not complicated .Our country is the one strategic part of the puzzle that NATO depends on to defend or invade at force those who impact its authority . We are chosen , outside money is spent categorically to put boots on the ground . The subject is what makes us different , why the United States , my answer would follow , it was set in motion after WWII , we are a warrior nation by our country’s leaders path that pandered to this selection . If guns get put away we look weak , it has to change . Failure is only following the same wrong answer , success can be won if they say enough to these in power ..
I love this kid and when he's eligible to run for office, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
What's his name?
He is excellent
Imagine if he will be the future president.
@@LoneLee2022 Cameron Kasky or something
Our future is fucked either way
Now that’s a fucking question, that’s how you ask a meaningful question. I hope this kid becomes a politician. No More NRA money.
f quint the kid was coached guy are you that clueless?! Wake up it was a political ambush on the senator not a meaningful debate about real solutions to the problems that failed those kids including the FBI not following communication protocol when they had credible information that Cruz was a viable threat to the school. Wake up yo!!!
Franz,
The NRA reflects the view of only 5 million people and still many of those members think that the NRA has too much power and has gone too far.
People seem to forget that a person who carries a gun is not necessarily a criminal until it is used to make them one. Anybody can become a criminal.
Keep that pressure on , enough already……no action …..on behalf of the people who will have the same fate this weekend ….mass shootings one every day on average ….
This is how you force politicians to change. Corner them. Make them afraid to lose their jobs. Or vote this snake out of office.
valar
Can you tell me what he did wrong?
Good god you are mind numblingly stupid lol
Rubio was under fire all night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Raul Gutierrez It’s just unfortunate that Republicans don’t seem to have any heat receptors. Or more likely, they don’t have a brain to be receptive to anything.
下佐粉ケイ Republicans are the most corrupt, lying monsters in existence.
下佐粉ケイ I just think that everything that these kids said in that meeting will go through one ear and out the other of these senators and NRA representatives. It’s just sad
下佐粉ケイ well most Republicans don't even bother to show up to these town hall meetings any more...
Good. He should be driven out of office!
4 years ago and NOTHINGS BEEN DONE
2nd ammendment is for all of us to "DEFEND" ourselves, ALL OF US. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND YOURSELF. My ability to defend myself and my family will NEVER EVER stop because another citizen fearfully gives theirs up. Go in peace, do no harm; be prepared every day in EVERY WAY. 😎👍
I love these kids!!!!!!!
ME TOO!! They are putting the pressure on! Good job 👏🏾
john D I see disrespectful brats. Rubio didn’t kill anyone, one of your classmates did. Stay down!!! Liberals want the government to make miracles happen. These are complex issues without an easy answer. Make the guns disappear now, it’s so easy. Liberal IQs are so apparent.
I support them, but that kid was an asshole you have to admit. They wouldnt shut up and let Rubio answer a question that didnt even make sense. Its like if your playing poker and the opposing player offers you some of his chips, if you want to win, you should always accept! The question was bait, and they wouldnt even let him answer.
TIL: donuts = guns. nice equivalency.
you keep telling yourself that bud. millions from the NRA have prevented gun laws from being passed. less gun laws means more shootings. seriously, it's like the most obvious correlation imaginable. Eating 17 donuts makes you fat right? People that eat a lot of donuts get fat right? Well giving the public hundreds of millions of guns will lead to more gun violence.
It's so painfully obvious. wake up my dude. you're being lied to, and enjoying it.
These kids are so smart, makes me so proud to see that they will be the new guard.
Calling for senseless gun control to fit a media narrative=\=smart
@@someedgyaccount3589 fax
Full of soy, ya mean.
Don't think this kid understands,millions of china and European assault rifles are on the streets just like drugs, if they can't steal them from law abiding people, they just go to corner dealer...smh
@@someedgyaccount3589 make an arguement, or is your tiny brain incapable of doing such a thing.
These kids allow their emotions to take over and don't allow themselves, to hear any answer that doesn't agree with them!
Vote Independent. I believe in the right to bear arms but not assault weapons. Only military should should have assault weapons and be trained in the use and responsible.
"the influence from these groups comes not from money" .......... never have I heard a bigger lie
Just ask Ted Cruz. The one moment he MIGHT have shown he had a spine or an ounce of integrity was undercut when the big donors threatened to pull his campaign contributions. Next thing you know, he endorses Trump--the guy who personally insulted his family and him--and gives us the "Sad Ted" meme. Being a donor hound makes a politician into a sad son-of-a-bitch who doesn't have the guts to stand against the special interests and lobbies that have bought them.
Marco Rubio is just another politician who is just the same, utterly incapable of standing there and accepting that perhaps there are some things that are more important.
It would be great if a president, once sworn into office and being free of the binds of lobbyists whims, would force through an anti lobbying law. As it stands it is impossible for one to pass unless EVERY politician did so at once. If you stand up against them, they just cut you loose and use someone who will play ball. And if there was no lobbying, then politicians would all be on an even playing field as far as advertising and such goes. You could even just limit the amount lobbyists could commit to any given politician. If you limited it to 100k or something, no ONE lobbyist group could have that much sway over a politician.
Rubio is right. The influence comes from the members of the NRA that donate to them and ask them to lobby our government on the members behalf. Is it evil to want the freedom to choose how you want to defend yourself and your family. When that freedom is taken away, then the founding principles of this country are no longer alive.
He got $4.950 from the NRA. Get real.
Well done Cameron, 10 out of 10!
Tulkas219 yesss
Eatmore Icecream 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're so fucking ridiculous... this kid is so much more aware than you will ever be... wake the fuck up
Him and the red head are fiiiiiine, objectively the most goodlooking
Cameron is an emotional little dipshit, I would drop his ass cold with this mean left hand
South_O_Chapo 402 👍👍
Nothing will ever change. Were all screwed 💯
The question was simple... Will you accept NRA money...??? 😄😄🔥🔥
Pathetic that NOTHING has changed and Congress has done NOTHING to protect our children. Staying in power is more important to them than the lives of our children.
So now since the truth be told, will it effect your vote?
I think small people should not have guns. Politicians and celebrities are exempt - they should have guns. Because they're special. Small people aren't.
VOTE them out!!!!!!
That question shook Rubio to the core!
Estaban De La Vega Did you not hear the boos???? These kids survived a massacre from another kid with an assault rifle and are asking their elected senators what they will do and him saying they will do the same thing they always do when there is a shooting is wildly unpopular. You're ignorant.
Lol Cameron obliterated Rubio.
look another russian troll
Estaban De La Vega. You're the true moron. What sort of logic is that? I support anyone who supports my effort. So the germans who supported gas chambers are good people. Idiot. You don't have a clue what you're talking about Australia has a no gun policy and hasn't had a mass shooting in 30+ years. Japan as well have serious regulations to buying a gun. Multiple step process and an in-depth mental analysis. Probably to ignorant, or foolish to know these things. And I hope its ignorance because idiocy cant be fixed.
The Guy can even answered a simple question! Too greedy to said No to the $$$$. It is Sad American people!!!
To be able to talk in this country and have any integrity we should require military service period. probably full citizenship as well
Look at all those people giving the person asking questions a standing ovation. And still nothing has changed. Is it really a democracy if what the people want is ignored by politicans who just want to just become more wealthy?
"people buy into my agenda" ... Enough said SMH. Not the greatest country in the world. Money rules the day in the United States of America.
People without money to give are buying into it too, fool.
Squatzoatz .... That was simply NOT enlightening nor informative lol. Proceed however with exposing your ignorance on this Globally public thread SMH. Love it when you imbeciles do this to yourselves 😂. Glad there is only a miniscule percentage of u idiots.
As it does all nations at the end of the day. Money controls the world.
UnionBlue _ .... Both true and untrue my friend. There is certainly a separation in some area's in other countries unquestionably. Healthcare is one area where money should not have an influence. ONLY in America. Treatments are withheld and loved one's are dying strictly due to the structure set in place here. This automatic weapon thing is a travesty and yet another example of how America has no ability to separate basic humanitarian rights from monitory gain. Potential Death is the end result of both examples I've mentioned and money is the reason for it. Appalling
Rashad Sherrell Oh dear God... not one of these high iQ snobs again. I do understand that you’re slightly insecure about your intelligence, but just allow the people who’ve said what they’ve said without saying stupid shit like “glad there’s only a minuscule percentage of u idiots”.
"People buy into my agenda" -Marco Rubio ... He is a truly ridiculous politician
Rubio: "I am going to do what is right."
What a coincidence; so am I. For me, the right thing is to leave this country. So I will.
There's a better life beyond the borders of the USA.
Wow. This kid is eloquent. Trump can't even form a complete sentence.
Raideruber22 Perez he's as much of an actor as you are a MacArthur Fellows recipient.
Josh Gibladar Have you heard of the MacArthur Fellowship Grant? No?
Have you heard of Google?
Apparently not, even though you're using a Google product right now.
The MacArthur Grant is also known as the Genius Grant...which would not be awarded to the idiot claiming these kids are actors.
Let me know if you need more help with this.
David Dillon What you mean is that he tried to get Rubio off of his planned talking points and directly answer the question.
Sao Cungduoc bullshit. He is asking scripted agenda driven questions. And President Trump is very articulate. Tired of the libtard nonsense
Buzz Miller yeah...the kid has an agenda of not getting shot. What a libtard.
HA HA HA
You need to look up eloquent...you're not using that word correctly.
God, love this kid. Still get chills watching this. Couldn't give one straight answer.
More like he wouldn't give the student a straight answer. If I didn't know better, I would guess that the NRA doesn't just control Rubio with money alone.
@@3baxcb Yeah, Rubio's brain and whole body was controlled by NRA. He is a robot. LOL
The kid would use anyone to further his agenda look at the face of this kid with half his head missing stand up kid rubio look at him u did this look all the suffering u caused can u look at him at his face and till him he has a future
I fricken love the young people of today. Go get them kids. I love you!!!
I'm Pretty Sure, He Danced Around THAT ONE, LIKE ALI!!!
Young man our future is in great hands if you are an example of our future. Don’t give up asking the tough questions and demanding sincere, honest answers.
