To end gun deaths, we need to ban all civilian guns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You know as if Prohibition worked because we banned liquor, as if the War on Drugs worked, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Bates continues;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Reviewing shootings that occurred in public places and killed at least four victims, Lankford found that the U.S. had 90 mass shooters between 1966 and 2012, and we have some 300 million guns. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thems pretty good odds. 90 mass shootings in more than 40 years and 300 million guns. I don&#8217;t think that says what he intended to say, even if his math is correct.<\/p>\n<p>We know that at least four Broward County sheriff deputies didn&#8217;t enter the school to stop the gunman eleven days ago. The Broward County Sheriff&#8217;s Office didn&#8217;t do any thing to prevent the gunman from purchasing his firearms in any of the 39 contacts they made with him because of an agreement the sheriff made with the school system to look the other way. But, somehow, it&#8217;s the fault of the National Rifle Association, and the NRA has been adamant about making the NICS check more accurate to prevent dangerous people from possessing firearms.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m watching Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General on the news and she says that the BCSO hasn&#8217;t been honest with her while her office is investigating the BCSO and this incident. The governor has been asked to fire Sheriff Israel &#8211; it was his failures of leadership that influenced the actions of his deputies that day. One deputy not confronting the gunman is the result of him being a coward &#8211; four deputies not confronting the gunman is a failure of leadership. Israel, however refuses to resign, like a good little politician;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel refusing to resign telling <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nbc6?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@nbc6<\/a>: &quot;I gave him a gun.

She&#8217;s sounding positive and confident and that&#8217;s what she wants the people in the NRA to believe, her 5 million plus members,&#8221; Hogg said on CNN. &#8220;She wants them to think that she&#8217;s on their side, but she&#8217;s not. She&#8217;s actually working with the gun manufacturers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, said she was not in the least reassured by Loesch&#8217;s appearance at last week&#8217;s town hall, especially after she attacked the media the following day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s younger.
