He lost his daughter Jaime and he is an eloquent and powerful voice for GUN CONTROL.

He said that his daughter and other students and teachers were HUNTED with a weapon of war.

I am in tears listening to him describe his beautiful daughter. She wanted to be a physical therapist and participated in a wonderful program called Best Buddies. I am very familiar with that program because I have a child with a disability and Best Buddies has helped her make friends and has brought her so much joy.

I am FURIOUS that such a wonderful young person has been taken from this world.

Updated to add link to the full interview.

It is the video described as "Father of Parkland victim: My house is forever changed."

1. "These kids are my hope." Mr. Guttenberg describing the Parkland students.

[malaise]

2. He was at the town hall last night as well and

he sure had Rubio on the ropes

[PA Democrat]

4. Yes. He was amazing at that townhall.

[malaise]

7. Great link

My daughter had rights more than the Second Amendment...

[MrModerate]

8. Note to Senator Rubio:

Laws that only solve 10% of the problem 1) solve 10% of the problem and 2) can be improved.

Saying a bad law ties his hands and he can't do anything worthwhile just highlights his -- and the right in general's -- cowardice.

13. #1- "MR. GUTTENBERG" to you, marco.

Mr Guttenberg respectfully referred to you as SENATOR RUBIO, an appelation I would never have used.


#2- If he walks around like a politician, he is one
#3- If he uses his hand and pointer finger like a politician, he is one.
#4- If he stalls for time by repeating stuff like a politician,, he is one.
#5- If he stalls for time by not answering the question like a politician,, he is one.

#6 If he acts like a political whore, he is one.

Whore: 'can be a person that compromises himself in any kind of way for monetary gain.'

3. Additionally this is the smart

thing to do. I hope all the parents who are able should be in the media humanizing these beautiful kids. They aren't just part of a body count. They had bright futures!

The more of this sort of thing that is seen/heard the better!

5. I heard him speak also, very eloquent and made so many good points.n/t

[Scarsdale]

6. Losing a child is the

worst experience a parent can face. To lose one so young, NEEDLESSLY is a disgrace. Why does anyone need an assault rifle? Rubio and the other despicable politicians who have taken MILLIONS from the NRA should pay for all these funerals.

10. Just think about this, the Republicans are so depraved that after they were hunted

by a psycho while practicing for a softball game they still haven’t been persuaded to endorse even the most modest of gun reform measures. Profiles In Cowardice correctly describes the entire sick bunch. I applaud these amazing and articulate students and hope they continue the fight. But if Republicans who were the victims of gun violence were not motivated to action I am skeptical they will be so moved to act now. They have learned that by waiting for it all to blow over they do not have to act. Stay strong students, don’t let these cowards off the hook. As for the rest of us, vote these sick, depraved heartless bastards out of office.

I am furious, too. It is so sad and we have lost some of our best citizens and yet we still have people in the WH that could care less about humanity. What a shame. I am so sad for you, we all have lost.

[cungar2000]

12. F MSNBC

F MSNBC for playing that jackass LaPierre's divisive speech. Trying to fuel a civil war

[Delmette2.0]

14. That is the first time I have heard...

Anyone using the term hunting applied to people. He is exactly right, assault or automatic weapons are used just for hunting humans.

15. Mahalo nui loa, PA Democrat!

So good to know
