Im christine romans. What a game. Im Alex Marquardt in for dave briggs. It was a powerful day yesterday of nationwide advocacy by survivors and families and gun control supporters following the florida shooting. The day was capped off by the emotional cnn town hall on gun violence. Signs that some marginal change may be possible. Florida senator marco rubio was the only republican willing to face his critics. He says he now backs raising the minimum age for owning a rifle from 18 to 21. In this country, if you are 18 years of age, you should not be able to buy a rifle. I will support a law. Traditionally i have not looked at looking at magazine clip size.

Been protected from. The local police and School District knew he was violent and dangerous. State agencies knew he was mentally unstable and a threat. The fbi was tipped off twice about him being a school short and didnt foul. We now learned there was an armed deputy on campus during the shooting. Instead of entering the building and neutralizing the shooter like he was trained and paid to do, he stayed outside the building for four minutes. The shooting lasted 6 minutes. The deputy wasnt even fired. The sheriff suspended him. So he retired with full benefits. The government fails on a state and local level and the democrats blame it nra. Its time for us to limit the control the nra has over congress because people are dying. Jesse let me be clear. People died because of the evil shooter. And the government should have and could have protected against him. Liberals dont want to us defend ourselves when the government failed to protect us. Some americans arent going to put up with it a

Officer, but three other Broward County sheriffs deputies who had not yet entered the school. 74 republican members of the Florida House have asked governor rick scott to suspend the sheriff. Meanwhile, republican florida representative, bill hagar, is also taking it one step further, calling on the governor to actually fire the sheriff. The state representative made this case to me last hour. There was clearly a series of failures at multiple levels. Ive identified the Sheriffs Office w office, probably the most grievous of fault, at least based on the reported facts as we can understand them so far. Sheriff israel is fighting back, defending his leadership and department. Listen to this exchange this morning with jake tapper. Im also told by sources in Coral Springs that Coral Springs police who arrived at the scene saw that three other broward deputies were standing behind cars, not having gone into the building.

All i see is two heads much state, donald trump and kim jongun both of whom have questionable agenerals today and questionable mental health. Jesse what are mr. Trumps high crimes and misdemeanors.

I can only take responsibility for what i knew about. I exercised my due diligence. I have given amazing leadership to this organization. Amazing leadership . Do you think if the Broward County Sheriffs Office had donethings different think this shooting may not have happened . If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, o. J. Simpson would still in the record book
