WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan, in a round of interviews with conservative radio shows on Thursday, said the Florida school shooting that killed at least 17 people on Wednesday should not threaten citizens’ rights to own guns.

“There’s more questions than answers at this stage,” the Republican lawmaker said in an interview with Tom Katz on Indiana radio station WIBC about the mass shooting less than 24 hours earlier.

“I don’t think that means you then roll that conversation into taking away citizens’ rights - taking away a law-abiding citizen’s rights. Obviously this conversation typically goes there. Right now, I think we need to take a breath and collect the facts.”

1. 17 FACTS ARE LYING IN THE MORGUE, YOU ASSHAT.

[riversedge]

2. In other words Ryan--it is not to time to talk about gun violence. You are a tone-deaf idiot

[Fred Sanders]

4. Ryan has $4,000,000 and counting reasons to lie and stroke the balls of the NRA.

All R fuckers fled to Foxxx also to have their own balls licked.

[Tiggeroshii]

3. Which shooting should? Joe many does it take?

Decrepit NRA zombie

[Glamrock]

5. Go fuck yourself.

I spent an hour going through airport security yesterday taking off shoes, jewelry, emptying pockets, being x-rayed, showing I'd, etc. Your just fine with taking away my rights because of terrorism, which has killed a fraction of the numbers killed by gun violence. Go fuck yourself Pauly....

[randr]

6. No one is going to threaten the "right" to own guns

I just want to control who has the right and what they can purchase.
Just like we control alcohol consumption.

[Metro135]

7. You want the FACTS asshole?

There have been 18 school shootings so far THIS YEAR. That's about three per week.

Unfortunately, the 17 people mowed down yesterday are unable to "take a breath."

[tanyev]

8. Everything's okay..you're safe.

[demmiblue]

16. Yep. n/t

[mindem]

9. Typical repuke

the death of American citizens due to guns, lack of health care, etc., are just considered collateral damage while ramming their far-right agenda down everyones throat.

[world wide wally]

10. Even the Second Amendment uses the word "regulated"

Why would that be?

[Guilded Lilly]

11. Earned your blood money pay check today didnt you, scumbag?

[Thekaspervote]

12. The dems, everyone who cares about this country should begin calling dotard and ilk

The trump regime-because that’s what it is

Begin listing tallies on all forms of social media

School shootings under trump regime=
Children dead under trump regime=
Deported illegally from this country under trump regime=
Deaths due to loss of health care under trump regime=
Loss of employment under trump regime=

Repeat again and again and again!! !

[George II]

13. "Now isn't the time to talk about this". The Las Vegas shooting was FOUR months ago...

....yet we're still not talking about it.

WHEN???????????????????

[Ohiogal]

14. "You don't take away a citizen's rights to own a gun"?

How about a citizens' right to LIVE, you appalling asshole!

These are CHILDREN attending SCHOOL, for fucks' sake!

What if one of those dead kids were one of yours, Asshole?

Start with banning all repeat-action firearms!

[Va Lefty]

15. "Right now, I think we need to take a breath and collect the checks err facts, facts."

[Thekaspervote]

17. Hey ryan you SOB!!

No one... no one is talking about anyone’s right to own a gun!! We are talking about sensible gun control.. more of your bullshit talking points

[Still In Wisconsin]

18. How about 30-round mags Ryan? WTF DO YOU NEED THOSE FOR, Eddie Fucking Munster?

Ryan trots out the same old NRA talking points.

[Botany]

19. Are thoughts and prayers w/a moment of silence still OK?

Yes, God damn it now is the time to talk about "the guns."

Even before the Florida shooting we in central OH are still a hot mess
after 2 brave cops were ambushed and killed last weekend as they went
to save a women from domestic abuse.


3 days ago I went and paid my respects as two local policeman's bodies were taken from ....

..... the county morgue to their hometown. They died after being ambushed trying to
save a women in a domestic abuse case.

I felt like crap after watching the funeral procession. It was like a deep fog of sadness.

I never want to hear about how we need a good person w/a gun to stop a bad
person w/a gun again. In Westerville, OH we had two really good persons w/guns
and still they died.

I also never want to hear ever again the following:

thoughts and prayers

a moment of silence for the victims

it is too soon to talk about gun laws

*******

It is the guns end of story.

[True_Blue]

20. Says the guy who got 4 million from the NRA

[Firestorm49]

21. Grow a Pair

Grow a pair of balls, Ryan. Your complicity stinks.

[handmade34]

22. my right to live should supersede your right to have a gun

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/06/opinion/how-to-reduce-shootings.html?emc=edit_ty_20180215&nl=opinion-today&nlid=65189552&te=1

What would a public health approach look like for guns if it were modeled after cars?
It would include:

Background Checks
22 percent of guns are obtained without one

Protection Orders
Keep men subject to domestic violence protection orders from having guns

Ban Under-21s
A ban on people under 21 purchasing firearms (this is already the case in many states)

Safe Storage
These include trigger locks and guns and ammunition stored separately, especially when children are in the house

Straw Purchases
Tighter enforcement of laws on straw purchases of weapons, and some limits on how many guns can be purchased in a month

Ammunition Checks
background check for anybody buying ammunition.

End Immunity
End immunity for firearm companies. That’s a subsidy to a particular industry

Ban Bump Stocks
A ban on bump stocks of the kind used in Las Vegas to mimic automatic weapon fire

Research ‘Smart Guns’
“Smart guns” fire only after a fingerprint or PIN is entered, or if used near a particular bracelet.

27. Those are all great ideas. Here are two more.

I also think that the ATF should have a modern day computer database that they can search.

I also think the CDC should be able to research gun violence has a health issue.

[HockeyMom]

24. No Civilian should have the right

[SummerSnow]

28. Ryan and his ilk will let children die so they can keep their seats.

In the GOP, children are expendable.

[Enoki33]

29. Guess he just got back

[handmade34]

[BeyondGeography]

33. IOW, our not-so-well regulated militia needn't worry one itty-bitty bit

[turbinetree]

35. Hey Ryan,

you, yes you and your support for the AR-15 assault rifle and the manufacturer and the NRA.

Have seventeen bodies laying in the morgue, they are laying on a stainless steel table, they have a rubber block under their individual heads, they have a toe tag on one of their feet, used for identification.

You, then have a mortician standing over the body signing a death certificate to release the body to a grieving parent and on the death certificate is the cause of death, a fucking gun and fucking .222 round high velocity bullet killing the individual that was alive a short time ago, that is given to them so that they can bury their child ----------------------

Have you ever fucking thought what your eighteen years in Congress taking over 171,977 dollars from the NRA and your mental instability, have you ever really thought about it, or was it just for the money to say the Bull shit you said on your form of legal genocide happening in the schools and the streets with a fucking gun-----today and yesterday


18 year @ $171,977 dollars = $3,095,586 Dollars in bribe money


And you have the Paul "ayn rand" Ryan balls to say:


"There’s more questions than answers at this stage,” the Republican lawmaker said in an interview with Tom Katz on Indiana radio station WIBC about the mass shooting less than 24 hours earlier.

“I don’t think that means you then roll that conversation into taking away citizens’ rights - taking away a law-abiding citizen’s rights. Obviously this conversation typically goes there. Right now, I think we need to take a breath and collect the facts.”


WRONG answer asshole....................you had people in school that had rights, before they were murdered, they don't have anymore rights, they are dead, and no one can turn to you for help, because you will not give it..................


You are one sick motherfucker


So for a solution to have you voted out of office, I have one............................maybe you heard of him.................

[llmart]

39. Great rant.

Ryan needs to be gone yesterday. What the hell is wrong with people who vote for him?

[turbinetree]

42. Their principles are just as corrupt-------------they have no empathy

[SunSeeker]

36. Letting anyone own assault weapons IS taking away my rights, Ryan, you fucktard.

My right to live is more important than your donors' right to sell 1.5 million assault weapons each year.

[lagomorph777]

37. How many #NRAROUBLES has Paul Ryan taken?

[Grins]

38. WHAT?????? No "thoughts and prayers"?

[rockfordfile]

40. How much did that idiot get from the NRA? Ryan gives support to the murderer by spouting NRA bs

[Bengus81]

41. That didn't take long,and is exactly as expected

[Weed Man]

43. No, but this Republican type of thinking endangers your own very life.

Think about that, Paul.

I hope you have nightmares and insomnia for the rest of your life.

[Cha]

44. does randryan know how much

of a gun ***** he sounds like? How much money does the NRA pay him every year? to make stupid lying statements like that?
