Sarah Huckabee Sanders can't answer kid's question about school shootings


emphasis added

quote:

New York Daily News

DENIS SLATTERY

May 30th 2018 4:09PM


A young boy, clad in a suit and tie, just wanted to know what the Trump administration is doing to prevent school shootings.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders couldn’t give him an answer.


“I think as a kid and certainly as a parent, there’s nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion, on Wednesday. “I'm sorry that you feel that way.”

Despite getting choked up as she responded, Sanders couldn’t provide any specific details as to what President Trump has lined up to curb gun violence.

“At my school we recently had a lock down drill. One thing that affects my and other students’ mental health is the worry about the fact that me or my friends could get shot at school,” the boy said. “Specifically, can you tell me what the administration has done and will do to prevent these senseless tragedies?”

The student journalist diligently grasped his pen awaiting a response from Sanders which never came.


“This administration takes it seriously and the school safety commission that the president convened is meeting this week again,” she said. “An official meeting to discuss the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids in our schools and to make them feel safe and make their parents feel good about dropping them off.”

President Trump, who recently spoke at the National Rifle Association’s annual gathering, has done little on the federal front to reign in guns laws or improve school safety following a spate of school shootings.

Following the Parkland, Fla., shooting in February, Trump promised to raise the minimum age requirement to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21 and vowed to ban bump-stocks, but the administration has made no effort on either front.

He has also talked about arming teachers, a controversial proposal backed by the gun lobby.

The answer to the question is simple. Trump is going to do whatever the NRA wants him to do.

She's useless, all she does is refer journalists to answer questions she won't to an agency/person no one can reach.

was it really "the kids question" or was he just vocalising someone elses question?


sounds to me like some one was working him like a marionette


raising the age from 18 to 21 would make little difference if any - how many school shooters have used their own guns?

as for banning bump stocks hardly a prority the only advantage of a swift ban would be to stop all the idiots who hadnt heard of the pre Paddock

I'd raise the age to 21 for all guns. You can't drink alcohol here till you are 21, why should you be allowed a gun? The kid was quoted as being a "school journalist," high school age, as we have seen these high school kids speak by the dozens over the last few months, they don't need coaching, they did better than what we call the president.

Does anyone else think it odd how that is said (repeated) about those that are dieing, the victims, so the experts on the real costs of mass shootings, but never about the NRA foollowers that are just "vocalising someone elses" , NRA/the gun lobby, message ?

Why is thier form of "vocalising someone elses" agenda so much more politically correct than our youth having their own opinions (that reflect the American majority's opinion) about reasonable gun laws, like NOT selling guns to people on the Terrorist No Fly List or the emotional unstable, without proper vetting?

What are the polls saying about what the majority of the American people want done ? How is it not just logical that the majority of young people share the majority point of view ?

Get real, the problem is actually that NRA/gun lobby must attack the soon to be young majority voters' message because the students fear being shoot to death more than NRA's political power and evil methods of manipulation of the majority's will !!

Repeating the NRA/gun lobby's ageist fake news makes you part of their evil ways.

* how funny is it to talk about people being puppets in a thread about Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and it not being said about her ?
