and marquises will go dark tonight to remember the moment that shooting started. the las vegas shooting was the largest shooting in modern american history. hundreds injured in the gunfire and the resulting panic. one way the shooter was able to increase the bloodshed by using what are known as bump stocks. a bump stock attaches to an automatic rifle at the stock. that is a rifle that requires a trigger pull for each shot to transform the weapon into something of the equivalent of an automatic rifle. that is moving your finger to fire the shots much more quickly, almost like a machine gun. in the aftermath of the shooting, president trump and other republicans called for waning them. in fact, in march this year, president trump tweeted, quote, the obama administration legalized bump stocks, bad idea. as i promised, today the department of justice will issue the rule banning bump stocks with a mandated comment period.
military assault rifles in civilian hands. army vet kyle houseman stokes who served in iraq said the parkland shooting was his breaking point. one of the solutions that lawmakers and the nra have proposed to protect students is to arm teachers. let s take a look at what teachers would be up against if they were armed with a handgun and confronted with an ar-15. and an ar-15 style rifle is semiautomatic, it fires one round when the trigger is pulled. automatically fills the chamber again. handguns can semiautomatic. some like revolvers are not. meaning it can take longer to fire multiple rounds. the speed of this bullets, the ar-15 can fire bullets between 2800 and 3,000 feet per second. this not the squeeze of a trigger pull. this is the speed the velocity at which the bullet goes out.
war on firearms. this is a bore on their culture. clips like this don t tell. what the what the hack is a full semiautomatic as the guys said? what is that? i ve never seen such a thing. semiautomatic, meaning trigger pull, one round, automatic trigger pull, rounds keep going until you stop pulling, until you empty that, after you stopped oppressing it. they do not know what they are talking about. then we had the second clip, i know that guy, i like him, he has a great history of service with the fbi. but where do women hide their guns? i don t know, have you asked one? i have. i know a number of places they hide them. guys have the same issue in florida when you don t have heavy jackets on. it was really just a sad thing to say and it points to the fact that, again, just some of the stuff. more than about just guns. americans see it as a war on their culture and the elitists in d.c. trying to tell them how

stock, lots of rounds are being fired but it s one round big trigger pull. it needs a congressional or legislative fix, period. shepard: people against gun control are saying widely on social media and other places that the gun control left is using these students as sort of another weapon in their fight, that these students are being used as pawns. yes. this is a very emotional topic in the united states. even without what just happened in florida. the gun advocates and the gun control groups. and i think that you re seeing that accelerated and being even more inflammatory in the kind of remarks that you re seeing on social media because this is an election year. we re in the middle of mid-term elections. this is becoming a hotter button issue and there s a lot of hot button issues that the republicans are concerned about
