Please, pass this on to everyone in the United States. This vote could sway a lot of people to vote for the Democratic Party. It is simple, clear, makes clear who the culprit is: The Republican Party. This is a reliable source (Tampa Bay Times) .. and is on the record. They rejected a 2 year moratorium. This is today. 3/2/18...

If we need proof where the Republican Party stands on gun control, this is it...pass it on
.............................YES, THIS IS THE PROOF......

This is not about banning all guns. This is about a 2 year moratorium on sale of the AR -15.

In a surprise move, senators briefly approved and then rejected a two-year moratorium on sale of AR-15 assault rifles, the type used in the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

The unexpected action came on an unrecorded voice vote at which senators shout “yea” or “nay,” and it was overturned a short time later by a roll call vote of 21-17. All no votes were Republicans.

1. Then at least have the balls to remove the metal detectors from outside their offices.

Good for the goose and such...

2. Republicans don't care about anyone but themselves. No one else.. Good Point...

3. Not a surprise at all.

Gun laws are nearly nonexistent down there. If I wanted to murder someone I'd taken them on a vacation to the beach and then invoke "stand your ground." Let's hope the 90% of Americans who claim to want gun control will vote for people who will enact it.

4. But the key to making the arguement is this: 3 sentences on 3/2/18 clarify the culprit: Republicans.

In Florida today, The Republican Party took a stand against controlling the AR -15... A simple 2 year moratorium on the sale of this gun that killed 17 students. Not banning all guns..just this one. And not banning it forever, just a 2 year moratorium...then sales are legal again...just in Florida..

The Republicans voted against this simple moratorium............today.........3/2/18.........

5. All of those Republicans need to be asked why they are OK with kids being shot in schools.

6. Yes, you have clarified it. It is that simple. Why is it OK to shoot kids in Florida?..

..........Why is it ok to shoot kids in schools in Florida?.........

Why couldn't they pass a moratorium on the sale of AR -15s?....Everyone wants proof.
...............here is the proof today..in Florida: the Republican Party..is responsible...
