Florida Gov. Rick Scott Calls On FBI Director to Resign for Failing to Investigate Tip

This is about an incompetent FBI.  You are just trying to smear the messenger and the NRA......you failed miserably.

Wake up!  Scott is the governor of Florida, is a crook, and is a tool of the NRA.  He has a clear bias.  He supported the weak gun control laws in Florida and is clearly dodging talking about gun control in the wake of the tragedy at Douglas High School.  He deflects from  talking about gun control measures by attempting to fob this tragedy off onto the FBI.

"A person close to Cruz called the FBI's tip line on Jan. 5 and provided information about Cruz's weapons and his erratic behavior, including his disturbing social media posts. The caller was concerned that Cruz could attack a school.

In a statement, the agency acknowledged that the tip should have been shared with the FBI's Miami office and investigated, but it was not."

 

It's pretty easy to see that a competent FBI  could have prevented this tragedy.

Its unfortunate. Most low and mid level FBI agents are good people who do good work when they are allowed to. But the upper management of the FBI is filled with a bunch of political hacks who think it's more important to investigate whether Trump had Russian dressing on his salad last night than it is to investigate a potential school shooter.

Gun laws won't stop crazy people.  The only reasonable and immediate solution is to train and arm teachers who can act as a safety net when these killers penetrate our children's schools.  Why do we protect our money in banks with guns, yet we protect our children with "gun free zone" signs.  The liberals who misled naive people into thinking that signs equal protection have blood on their hands...

So called gun control does not stop criminals but prevents law abiding citizens from defending themselves against those criminals. Chicago is a prime example. I dont think there are any whack job potential school shooters out there who would say "Gee I was going to go shoot a bunch of people then kill myself but this new law says I'm not supposed to have this gun so I changed my mind". How about instead of banning guns we do something about the SSRIs almost all of these shooters are taking that are known to cause homicidal and suicidal thoughts? We're not allowed to have that debate though because the corporate media's biggest sponsor is big pharma.

Gun free zone signs are advertising to criminals "you can victimize anyone you want here unopposed".

We don't protect our money in banks with guns.  The only time I've ever seen an armed guard in a bank was in the Philippines.  The teachers don't want to be armed, and rightly so, because it won't prevent anyone from doing what they are determined to do.  The Florida school had an armed guard.  That didn't work either.  Should we have popcorn sellers in theaters armed also?  How about bartenders in night clubs?

Good point about Chicago, or any locality for that matter.  That's why gun control laws should be national, not local or state.

Japan doesn't have any school shootings

 

They do have strict gun control.

In other words you want every major city along with Chicago to have a weekly death toll similar to Iraq or Afghanistan. The criminals would love to have other victim disarmament zones they can go to to commit crimes without the fear that someone might defend themself. You do know criminals by definition don't follow the law right? So what makes you think they will comply with gun laws?

Switzerland has less restrictive gun laws than we do and they don't have school shootings. So what's your point?

From Wiki:

 

”Switzerland thus has a relatively high gun ownership rate. There are no official statistics, and estimates vary considerably. The Small Arms Survey of 2016 placed Swiss gun ownership per capita at 24.45%.^[5]

In 2016, the defence ministry estimated that 2 million privately owned guns are in circulation, which given a population of 8.3 million corresponds to a gun ownership rate of around 24 guns per 100 residents.^[6] This is roughly a quarter of the rate in the United States, and lower than that in the neighbouring countries of Germany, and Austria, but about the double of Italy and France.^[5]

Traditionally liberal Swiss gun legislation has, however, been somewhat tightened in 2008, when Switzerland has complied with European Firearms Directive.^[7] Throughout the modern political history of Switzerland, there have been advocates for tighter gun control.^[8]

The most recent suggestion for tighter gun control was rejected in a popular referendum in February 2011.^[9]” 

 

From Time:

 

”Even though Switzerland has not been involved in an armed conflict since a standoff between Catholics and Protestants in 1847, the Swiss are very serious not only about their right to own weapons but also to carry them around in public. Because of this general acceptance and even pride in gun ownership, nobody bats an eye at the sight of a civilian riding a bus, bike or motorcycle to the shooting range, with a rifle slung across the shoulder.”

Yeah.  Why don’t we arm pilots in airplanes?  Then we would never have another 9/11 again!

[jg121783 3,909]

One has to ask themselves what is the other common theme in all the mass shootings besides the gun because there are places with similar gun laws to ours that don't have mass shootings. The only other common denominator I see in all of these shootings is the use of SSRI drugs.

Its funny. Liberals won't trust pilots with a gun but they trust them with a plane that could do far more damage than a gun. That's liberal logic for you.
