How many rounds of ammo is a large amount? How and why should it be tracked?

Granted that there are a lot of immature, safe-space 18 year olds in the coastal blue states who shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects. But if you get out into America, you will find huge numbers of responsible 18 year olds who get proper organized training on gun safety and use. They own and use rifles for competition, for hunting, and for varmint control on ranches and farms. I learned to use a rifle when I was 12, at a Boy Scout camp.

The morons on the panel of patheics last night were praising the kids for being prepared for the march and having done their homework on guns.

BS.

They were acting out of grief. FNN fed them the script.

False news, CNN would never do such a thing, would they?

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Colton Haab said he didn’t attend CNN’s town hall in his hometown because the network rejected his prepared questions and suggested he ask a scripted one instead.


Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC, protected his fellow students during the Parkland shooting last week, and he told local media that he wanted to ask about using veterans as armed security guards in schools. Even though Habb wrote out a speech and questions as CNN requested for last night’s forum on shootings, he claims that the network tried to censor him.

I was 7, taught to shoot and gun safety by an uncle and my father who were both cops. I have been a gun owner since I was 18, which was almost 40 years ago. The only living being my guns have harmed is one rattlesnake who took up residence too close to the front door of the house my girlfriend and her 3 kids lived in 25 years ago in the mountains of Southern California. The last thing I shot up was a leaky hot water heater before I hauled it away. I have a fused lower spine and didn't feel like bending over to open the drain.

You have to be careful with those things. They sometimes charge when they are wounded.

From The Federalist:

Last night’s CNN town hall amounted to a massive in-kind donation to the National Rifle Association.

There needs to be change immediately on the "assault" type guns that anyone can buy. There also needs to be a better system to track those buying large amounts of rounds. 18 isn't an age you can trust anyone at with a gun unless they are in the armed services!

But 18 is good enough for the adolescent to die for his or her country? 18 is mature enough for a young person to decide to join the military in the first place? And 18 is mature enough to drink. And 18 is mature enough to drive on the road. And 18 is mature enough to vote in general elections. And 18 is mature enough to get married. But 18 is not mature enough to buy a gun?

CNN story says Trump should not call the shooter a "sicko" because that is stigmatizing to people with mental health problems.

Ooops...I guess someone was offended...again...isn't that how most of these shootings happen to begin with?

Someone was offended? Bullied? Better go shoot them to make yourself feel better...

Actually it's not "CNN" saying that, it's mental health professionals.
