Parkview Kyle Kashuv is a wrong minded apologist for common sense

#enoughisenough ~ Kyle Kashuv is wrong minded ~ needs 6 minutes 30 seconds of contemplation about guns. He needs counseling about how to understand common sense gun control regulations like registration of automatic weapons.


My advice to the student apologist Kyle Kashuv:

Practice writing #enoughisenough 100 times on a blackboard ~

Followed by the names of the children and teachers who were murdered in his school, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, on February 14, 2018, and to do it all in 6 minutes and 30 seconds, the time it took for the murderer to kill his colleagues with a gun.

Scott Beigel, 35, geography teacher and coach

Aaron Feis, 37
It is with Great sadness that our Football Family has learned about the death of Aaron Feis. He was our Assistant Football Coach and security guard. He selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot. He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories.

Clarion Calls from gun violence victims

Not One More ~ Simple but powerful words have become the rallying cry for Americans who refuse to accept the toll gun violence.


Sandy Hook Promise ~ Mission is to prevent gun-related deaths due to crime, suicide and accidental discharge so that no other parent experiences the senseless, horrific loss of their child. We will achieve this by educating and empowering parents, schools and communities on mental health & wellness programs that identify, intervene and help at-risk individuals and gun safety practices that ensure that firearms are kept safe and secure.

SHP Action Fund’s mission is to enact sensible gun violence prevention laws, policy and regulations at a state and federal level, in the areas of mental health & wellness and gun safety that result in the reduction of gun-related death and injury. We will achieve this by engaging, organizing and mobilizing our national base of Promise Makers and Leaders at a state and federal level.

Florida shooting: 'Enough is enough'

Busloads of students from the Florida high school in Broward County that saw a mass shooting on February 14, 2018, arrived in Florida's capital, Tallahassee, to lobby for tighter gun control measures.  It is the first planned rally for their new movement, NeverAgain.

This isn't about Democrats. This isn't about Republicans. This is about us demanding change, and this is about the fact that we have already won, it's just a matter of when," yelled a student standing atop a car, firing up the group before they hit the road.

(Shamefully perpetrating the evil of supporting guns rather than the lives of children.....),,,,,But just as the students started rolling north on their journey for justice, the stupid Republican lawmakers in Tallahassee voted down a measure to ban purchases of murderous assault rifles, like the one 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz used in his attack that killed 17 students and school staff members in Parkland.

With a 71-36 vote,  Republican Florida lawmakers defeated the assault-rifle bill that would have also banned the purchases of large-capacity magazines statewide.


Father James Martin, Jesuit editor of America Magazine:
"The well-funded resistance to the sensible regulation of handguns, the easy availability of semi-automatic weapons and the resistance to preventing people with mental health issues from obtaining them, is a clear participation in evil. This is a life issue."

"Gun control is about the defense of life. Those who consider themselves religious or pro-life must see that the desire to prevent gun-related deaths is part of the religious defense of the dignity of all life."
