      [continued from previous message]              Munoz also said arming teachers would have done nothing if they couldn't        distinguish individuals from each other.               "More guns does not solve this problem, in the same way that firefighters        don't bring more fire to stop fires," Munoz said.               On average, more than 13,000 people are killed each year in the United States       by guns.               Most of those incidents involve handguns while a tiny fraction involve an       AR-style firearm. Still, the AR plays an oversized role in many of the most       high-profile shootings, including the June 2016 nightclub shooting in Orlando       and the gunning down of 58        people last October at a country music festival in Las Vegas, the deadliest       mass shooting in modern U.S. history.               Speaking outside Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School on Friday, Florida Sen.       Bill Nelson, a Democrat, said he has been inspired by the students who have       been demanding changes to make gun violence less likely.               "These kids are just terrific," Nelson said. "The fact that they are speaking        up as boldly as they are, maybe that's the turning point. You haven't heard        students speak up one after another after another after witnessing such        carnage and speaking out with such conviction."         ______       __________________________               After Florida massacre, father tells politicians to stop pocketing NRA 'blood        money'               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
