First of all, as a practical matter, banning all weapons that have a similar range to the AR would mean banning almost all hunting weapons too (if “effective range” is the metric you’re using for banning people)...
2nd, Heller (and 2A jurisprudence generally), reads the 2A not merely as a right of self defense against your neighbor, but as a bulwark against the state. I.e. merely saying something isn’t “self defense” the way Hogg did doesn’t address the core constitutional concerns at play.

You're an absolute disgrace. Putting your face on anything to do with "school safety" is a slap in the face to my classmates and 17 families that are still mourning.
With all of that it seems like somebody in their press department came up with that bright idea. That isn't even unreal, it is surreal.
It seems as if @browardsheriff is trying to poke fun at my classmates. Utterly abhorrent.

The STOP School Violence Act was passed in the Omnibus back in March. It’s now law. Schools have already applied for grant money and those will be awarded by DOJ at the end of the fiscal year. campussafetymagazine.com/safety/stop-sc…
The funding is available for programs that address the exact shortcomings in these recent school shootings— safety infrastructure, training for teachers and administrators, working with law enforcement. What could be a more direct solution to these shootings than that?
Tragedy is the unfortunate reason I was given a platform. I will never forget my mission which is to make sure schools are secured.
It's my honor to endorse @rpetty and @MendelsonBCPS6 for School Board. We need to #FixIt and they're a large part of the solution. This isn't about party. This is about safety.
I know my endorsement doesn't mean much, but if I can get even 1 more vote, I'll be forever humbled.

No, they aren't accurate. The numbers are from something called the Gun Violence Archive. These guys largely rely on newspaper accounts to record these events. I am sure that the first row includes suicides. Defensive Gun Uses are from newspapers, but even then they use a...
...different higher "verified" standard that they don't use for their other counts. About 95% of DGUs don't involve a gun being fired. They aren't newsworthy. About 90% of news stories on DGUs involve a death, almost all the rest are for injuries. But we know that in real life...

It's a real shame. I invited @SenBillNelson to address the dozens of MSD students attending #HSLS2018, but his office won't even return the multiple emails I sent. I hope it's a mistake - if it is, please feel free to DM me.
Thanks
While I understand politicians are busy, almost everyone's office has answered the email I sent their scheduler's and declined politely. Why not Nelson?
Other D invited @amyklobuchar is trying to make it work. See the difference between the two. It's stark.

David - you & MSM should be ashamed of the falsities that are being promulgated about @SenateMajLdr
Why not look up what the Leader has done on the issue?
He's the one who got STOP and others through. You would know this if you weren't busy crapping on the bills on @60Minutes.
The Senator has said previously when talking with constituents, including KY student groups that with school safety being extremely important, it is something that local, state, and federal officials should be working together on. That is clearly what he meant here.
This is going to be legendary. Apply today at TPUSA.com/HSLS
My mentor and friend @charliekirk11 will be at the whole #HSLS2018 and will be taking dozens of questions from the audience. Don't miss out! Apply today!!! TPUSA.com/HSLS

This article is quite bad and makes everything seem like common sense.
I am going to debunk the article 1-by-1.

pt 1) This is a survey by gun control advocates that I trust about as far as I can throw it.

.@davidhogg111, @blackrock owns part of twitter. Time to fully boycott Blackrock and log off Twitter. Bye
The biggest holder and 4th biggest holder in Twitter are being boycotted. I guess liberals are all logging off now.

It is difficult to think of someone who has focused more on fear and less on facts than @davidhogg111.

The media took interest in him to push an agenda. They've propped people up and have turned them intro shields. I am not doubting anyone's sincerity, but people have certainly been hiding behind my classmates to push an agenda.
