The last that we heard publicly from president jim back up was early in the morning on monday in kyrgyzstan that he released a video so people do not exactly know where his where years at the moment the opposition the Meeting Council claims that they are in control but i think ultimately the power does lie with parliament that its the 6 parliament the last parliament that was in power that is elected a new speaker is elected a new Prime Minister and this interim government is going to be the one to make the call on Holding New Elections and ultimately the decision on whether to impeach the president youre going to say is very carefully set up its executive branch to have balance between the president and parliament but always the parliament has more control than the president so in the coming hours even though. I think parliament is going to wield the power over the president any more than him over that organ of power.

Its got a picture colors if you dont quite know what you want we can help you get it exactly what you want for where youre headed we just have one that looks like a snake snake skin.

Park on florida february 28th. 1000 year old returned to his former high school to unleash a deadly. Legally purchased assault rifle. I cut. The park gun shooting left 17 people dead 14 of them students and a further 15 injured. As you can imagine it is a challenging difficult morning georges on the scene in florida where another community is in disbelief as shocked by devastating violence. The most disturbing aspect about going violence in america is that recent data shows that the frequency of Mass Shootings is only increased. Overtop the students who survived the massacre are getting ready to go back to school for a much bigger fight taking on the n. R. A. Every year the United States sees about 350. 00 Mass Shootings roughly one per day massacres like the one in parkland have led to renew calls for stricter gun laws resisting such reforms is the National Rifle association which owes its very existence to the right of every american to bear arms in selfdefense to stop a bad guy with a gun into a. Good guy with a guy the National Rifle association has one of the most powerful Political Forces erica it has a simple message we have a constitutional right to own firearms and nobody can take that away from us. And the n. R. A. Has connections at the very highest level of government. If you had a teacher with who is a dept of fire or. They could very well in the object for quickly. The n. R. A. Is really londoners and its mob being and has a huge network of dedicated supporters. 5000000 members in the n. R. A. Today a big game more and more power ball all the power of course is financial because they can shoot for candidates tried to warn elections in washington were the boys should be perfect were the boys listen its almost part of the american to be at it but when you show people who are true to who you are going to follow the right woman good luck but. How is the n. R. A. Able to wield such influence over lawmakers who are these people who know no bounds when it comes to defending these Constitutional Rights the survivors of the park on shooting are now among the most vocal of the gun lobbys opponents. To take down a copy and i came upon. But what can they do in the face of the mob the seeming omnipotent students from reclaimed really coming out in force is a new Political Movement that we have never seen before marching on washington lobbying their elected officials theyre going up against history that hasnt been on their side of the case and theyre going up against a dedicated group of people in the n. R. A. That they saw this fall. As tragic as it is the kids that are coming out of park lane are a theyre new to this political fight and the n. R. A. Has been fighting and gun rights advocates have been fighting this battle still keeping a battle that is being waged even in this sleepy looking small town at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in western colorado its named appropriately enough his rifle. Its a place that looks like a relic of the wild west its home to a former saloon and now a restaurant called shooters groom. Carrying a weapon here is not just permitted its openly encouraged the restaurant prides itself on having armed waitresses to its founder serves customers with a 9 millimeter semiautomatic pistol the interior is adorned with john wayne vintage guns and even a crucifix framed by bullets. Shooters for l. And open carry restaurant by wait staff and myself we all carry firearms to work and they are loaded theyre real we all practice we all train we are efficient with our firearms we pack this safety with them. And i think that its good for more people to have them because we feel safer this is the safest restaurant the world evern is always ready in case they do. Happen and nothing ever has go colorado is one of the 32. 00 states in the us where citizens have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun which might be a pistol or an automatic assault rifle. To stop a bad guy with a gun you need a good guy with a gun because the criminals have free range they know you have nothing to stop them with they can go in and try to rob you at gun point and youre not going to shoot back because you are a law abiding citizen and you are obeying the government and not carrying your firearm and so they know they can go in and they can have whatever they want they can go in and take it they could shoot whoever they want because theres no one stopping them here and i put colorado theres people that are going to stop. For more of a pistol is as normal an accessory as a piece of clothing she also carries her gun at home in the presence of her 4 children. She and her husband have around 20 guns around the house out of sight for safety reasons why goodness shes proud to be a lifelong member of the n. R. A. Family. And i like that because theres a lot of transparency the n. R. A. Wants us to know what theyre doing they want us to know what theyre fighting for why gun control topic is on the table today and they want to let us know how theyre fighting. The n. R. A. Currently has some 5000000 members with almost 800 employees coordinating the lobbying work of over 10000 local branches the association was founded in 1871 by civil war veterans and nationally as a club for hunters and recreational shooters advocated training children in the use of guns from an early age. The National Rifle association commonly referred to as b m r a the National Organization of sportsmen in the United States. But in the 1900. Sixtys new gun control legislation has been introduced following a string of high profile assassinations the n. R. A. Switched its mission to gun ownership and because he and became one of the most powerful lobby groups in the us. Going to interfere with his brother. Martin Luther King Jr must bring americans together to legislate but. One of the most important changes was with all of the violence in our society and other societies in the late 1960 s. And with the assassinations of Martin Luther king and Robert Kennedy in 1968 president johnson began to push for more restrictions on the cause and then the americans even democrats who had supported johnson became very worried because they were afraid that if they didnt have their guns they would be unprotected when they saw in particular they were afraid of black power and. That. That effective crime control. Remains in my judgment effective gun control. A warning shot to the countrys traditionalists. There was a small group of members of the n. R. A. That believed that gun rights were about to be curtailed dramatically and there were these conversations about gun rights and they decided to rise up within the n. R. A. And they effectively took over the entire organization and it went from a moderate. Less powerful group of sportsmen to a very staunch conservative organization 100 percent focus. On the idea of ensuring that the right of an individual to own a gun would not be curtailed at all. Looking for new ammunition to further his campaign the n. R. A. Founded argument rooted in the United States constitution and amendment and it is 1791. We believe in our country we believe in our bill of rights and we believe in our 2nd amendment to the United States constitution all of our 2nd amendment because we believe in the freedom and the safety. And that. It hello guarantees absolutely our freedom and our safety. The 2nd amendment says a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and theres a lot of debate about what the Founding Fathers meant does it mean people have the right to join together to ensure that the government isnt acting as a dictatorship or does it mean every Single Person has the right to have a gun on them at all times no matter where they are you know or the british youre. Going to what i think sometimes people miss is that when it was written for the weapons the right to bear arms those arms were muskets they were weapons that maybe in a best Case Scenario you can get off 3 shots in a minute if you were an expert. So at that time Mass Shootings were impossible because there were not weapons that would make someone capable. In virginia where. Hundreds demonstrated outside the n. R. A. Headquarters as afternoon protesters blame the National Rifle association for helping should block gun control laws maybe the n. R. A. Is powerful enough to prevent any meaningful change thanks to its political ties and insistence on the constitutional right to bear arms among the antigun activists is tyra hammonds one of a number of young people here who are survivors of the park on High School Massacre their front of the cowardice asked philip because thats where they all stay behind closed doors so that they have balls they come and talk to us like. Theyre cowards i fight is the winning fight because too many die thats how much blood has shed and when we say enough is it ill shoot you because were tired of so many children having to wake up and look at their roster roundings and realize. Its not progun protestors brandishing an assortment of high powered firearms are present in this state this particular state it says im from a joke and carry this choice im not a felon im not a criminal which i am no more people are going to face me that way but so obvious more about. Me was minding my own business. In a country in which one in 3 adults owns at least one firearm the young gun control advocates are widely seen as hopeless idealists an estimated 300000000. 00 guns are owned by civilians half of the world total of privately owned firearms. Alan from colorado is an n. R. A. Member and has a penchant for high caliber weapons i grew up in a household were if i was a good kid and i did all my chores and i did what my parents asked me to do i would actually get incentive by them giving me ammunition to shoot my 22 caliber rifle. Honestly the main thing i worry about is that someone is going to endanger myself or my family or my friends and do i have the ability to protect myself and those i care about around because unfortunately as you very well know where you are in a foreign france its a big bad world out there.
