Parkland High School Survivor: Media Using Tragedy To Push Gun Control

Click here: “I wholeheartedly believe that the media is politicizing this tragedy,” Brandon Minoff, an 18-year-old survivor of the Florida school shooting said. “It seems that gun control laws is the major topic of conversation rather than focusing on the bigger issue of 17 innocent lives being taken at the hands of another human.  I know many people who are pro-gun and others who support gun control but it seems that the media is specifically targeting those in support of gun control to make it seem as if they are the majority, and the liberal news outlets are the ones that seem to make the bigger effort to speak to these people, and I’m talking from experience.  And all day Thursday, CNN was interviewing gun experts and specialists to brainwash the audience that gun control is a necessity,” he said. “They even have an army of my classmates trying to persuade other students that guns are unnecessary and should be illegal.”

FBI knew full well about the shooter in the Parkland, Florida school massacre . . . and did nothing. TWICE.

Click here: The FBI was informed in September that a YouTube user using the shooter’s real name stated, “Im going to be a professional school shooter.” The FBI didn’t bother following up until after the massacre. The FBI didn’t share the information with local authorities. Then again in January, a caller told the FBI about the shooter’s “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior and disturbing social-media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.” Again it was ignored and not even forwarded to the Miami field office for further investigation.
