And i dont understand why i could still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. Described as a listening session by the White House Trump joined by his Vice President and secretary of education said all ideas to prevent future School Shootings are on the table that includes Arming Teachers an attack has lasted on average about three minutes it takes five to eight minutes for responders for the police to come in so the tack is of if you had a teacher with who was adept at firearms they could very well in the attack very quickly anybody like the students and parents invited to meet the president were handpicked by the administration some said security and Better Mental Health should be main priority. But outside the white house students who continued their protest wednesday were united in their opposition to guns we will continue to try to get Gun Legislation until congress which is why the white house was trump said during his meeting with shooting survivors that this was no longer the time for just talk as in the past but elected by a progun base and backed by the powerful gun lobby it remains to be seen just health far trouble go to bring meaningful reform heidi joe castro aljazeera washington and florida over last weeks shooting took place deputy sheriffs who patrol the School Grounds have now been told to carry rifles the state has at the center of a big student mobilization against gun violence on tuesday thousands of them gathered outside the Republican Controlled Legislature in the state capital tallahassee to demand change and it was their. The survivors of last weeks School Shooting in parkland would not alone when they came to Florida State capital chants of no more guns and never again rung out as crowd swells. Many of these students have spent the past few days attending funerals of form and classmates that determination to change u. S. Gun laws is a rallying call for activists across the nation you sent thoughts and prayers as your remedy but refused to take action. Well members of the legislature i am proud to announce i took your advice i have been praying i have been praying for you. Was. I to bring you that you look in the mirror and figure out your priorities. I presume that you signed the no n. R. A. Money pledge and so many of them out there. Now. Unless some gun owners and now destroying their assault rifles in videos that have gone viral others a turning them into authorities but on wednesday floridas politicians rejected a bill that would have banned assault rifles an indication of just how challenging any change will be that person who died because of an iowa fifteen. Was. You because you sat yesterday you had a chance to stop them and you took that chance the way i was there i dont like bush dont mind. You might but it. Was time to background checks and Better Mental Health screening a widely supported by the us public since the voices of children may make a difference they have to understand that this is really affected everyone not just us the kids in the school its affected the whole community and they need to listen to us and were were smart we can we can talk for ourselves were not just children we can you know we can make it what you have here is a new generation of voices determined to make themselves heard and right now the world is listening but any change lays firmly at the doorsteps of politicians the next move is their lives and the expectations of perhaps higher than theyve ever been and gallacher aljazeera tallahassee florida tony dexter is a board member a woman against gun violence and she strongly disagrees with trumps idea to on teachers. Its a terrible and dangerous idea on our board of directors we also have Los Angeles Police department and sheriffs detectives we get to go back to the l. A. Crime lab which is the largest crime lab in the nation and work with forensic scientists who are experts in ballistics and firearms and i specifically asked them could a civilian stop a mass shooter they told me that police only have an eighteen percent accuracy rate for hitting a live target during a live shooting the reason for that is that when youre in a life shooting situation you go into fight or flight mode you have tunnel vision your hearing is impaired time slows down your fine motor coordination is impaired so where expecting americas teachers who are by the way underpaid and under appreciated to now become the nations swat team its a really unfair ask and its a dangerous ask.
