Democrats Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii is among those who blame the NRA for the school shooting in Florida:
Eliminating gun free school zones and arming teachers is literally insane and based on the NRA business model that the solution to gun violence is to sell more guns.

The NRA doesn’t work for gun owners. They work for gun sellers.

Does anybody do more to sell guns than Democrats threatening gun control and some liberals even calling for the 2nd Amendment to be done away with? That aside, President Trump expressed today a willingness to work with the other side of the aisle on the issue:
Trump on long gun age restrictions: "It should all be at 21… And the NRA will back it."

Schatz won’t have anything to do with any compromise:
I am normally interested in compromise. Not this time. I cannot imagine a bill that would make a difference that the NRA supports. We don’t need to cut a deal with them, we need to beat them.

As long as Dems remain in the minority and out of the White House, the “compromise” ball really isn’t in their court anyway. Super-progressives agree with Schatz:

Bazinga. And gun & ammo manufacturers. https://t.co/sa5dDyH5PD

And Schatz won’t hear otherwise:
The NRA doesn't sell guns, nor does it represent manufacturers, you blithering idiot. Hawaii should be ashamed at your rampant ignorance of virtually every topic you opine on. https://t.co/YFGF3sDh8l

How is it insane?
Armed security is common in all industry and public locations. Its why the police carry guns.The solution to reducing victims of gun violence is more gun owners confident in self-defense and marksmanship. https://t.co/n7EiXXsBrL
