Parkland School Shooting Survivor: We Need Government Control, Not Gun Control

During the March 26 airing of The Story with Martha MacCallum, Parkland school shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv said that we need government control rather than gun control.

He did this by stressing that the Parkland attack did not result from a lack of gun laws but a failure of government to do its job.

Martha MacCallum pointed out that the speakers at Saturday’s march preached gun control while omitting any mention of the myriad government agency failures that may have contributed to the occurrence of the Parkland school shooting. She said, “When you think about all the different places that failed, starting with Sheriff Scott Israel, with the FBI, with the local police who had been to this house 29 times, I didn’t hear any of that this weekend during these very forceful demonstrations.”

Kashuv responded:

Gun control won’t solve this issue. We’ve seen that we have to hold our government accountable, we have to. The main reason why school shootings continuously happen is that our government is not doing its job. It’s clear that when the government does do its job these shootings don’t occur.

MacCallum and Kashuv then talked back and forth about Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who is frequently lambasted by the student gun grabbers.

Gov't doesn't want the responsibility either since they allocate the resources...or lack there of for schools AND services (fire/rescue/police). I mean come on, what is always on the chopping block 1st? Schools, fire/rescue/police.

Heck no, Gov't doesn't want the responsibility!

Novel thought here but I believe the real issue is parental control - parents need to control their children

Don't try logic and reasoning with them.
They were never taught critical thinking and don't have an independent thought among them.
Frankly, they are pretty damn stupid, but at 16, they believe they have all the answers.
The same people who can't tell you who won the Civil War, who Japan attacked in 1941, who their Senator is, or add three numbers in their head, are the sme ones who think they need to tell us how to live the perfect life.
Keep cheering.
