    Give the kid a chance to speak without the host(s) interrupting at every turn or asking loaded questions.

    CNN gets called out for trying to self-servingly steer the conversation, then they try to appear 'noble' by calling the kid a liar while offering to make amends after the fact? how perfectly normal....it must be Thursday.

    "objective" Legacy/Left-Media is famous for crap like this. they disseminate their propaganda with a big, bold headline, get busted, then maybe offer a retraction at 3:05 am or on the bottom of page six.

    not honest people, leftists. not at all.

    They are an organization that donates to politicians in order to uphold the 2A. That is their very purpose.

    Don’t like it? Don’t give them any money by becoming a member, it’s such a simple concept, a caveman could understand it.

    So it looks like professional armed security is just as dangerous with the danger increasing exponentially as more and more guns being allowed in schools yet you want teachers to be the security!.
    And here it is :

    Not in every case. There are manufacturers that make a firearm on the AR15 platform that are not milspec.

    Milspec just means that the sizes and materials used in the manufacture of something is equal the the military specifications requested by the government. A roll of toilet paper can be considered "milspec" if it meets all the bid requirements.

    The word itself probably pushes sales because it offers guaranteed parts strength and interchangeability.
    The next time you hit the head, john, or crapper, consider the fact the TP fit on the holder correctly. Then choose whether or not you want to use it for its intended purpose.

    CNN has no business staging the news. They do this routinely, as part of the business plan.

    Lol @ your "anti-donation" stance argument. Are you part of the mob? You seem to have a mob's view on politics.

    There are hardly any professional armed security in schools yet it is so easy to find these accidents. Now multiply that many times to follow the proposal that teachers acting as amateur security guards should be armed in all schools

    If politicians are corrupt, then the voting processus is illusory. Your system is an open door to corruption, and as a result only "donators" have access to your elected officials.

    In fairness, both sides do. But CNN denying this would be laughable if not so unconscionable.They got caught red handed and then tried to spin it.

    So, being a politician is all about sitting there and favoring the parties that gave you the most money?

    Nice, nice.

    I can tell you what is the NRA's goal: Sell more guns.

    What would be CNN's goal?

    You are completely lost on this topic. Obviously you have little or no concept of the training the teachers that choose to have access to have a firearm have gone through. Look at it this way, they may offer the ability to save the life of your child or grandchild instead of waiting five or ten minutes for the police to arrive.
    In this world there are sheep and sheepdogs. No question which category many here fall into. I feel sorry for them and I promise you none of my family members right down to the 10th grade grandchildren eat grass.

    Are you claiming the NRA sells guns now after you were educated on the amount they donate compared to similar groups?

    You sir are a walking talking point.

    you do understand no money from lobbying go to any Politian's
    money spent in lobbying is to pay for the hires that do the lobbying and those hires by law aren't allowed to give money or gifts to Politian's

    so your bull crap that the NRA paid for those Politian's to have them in their back pocket through their lobbying effort is patently a lie born from your ignorance

    I'm going to ask you to answer his just more time. You've repeatedly ducked the question. WHO DO YOU THINK IS DONATING THE NRA MONEY? This was spelled out previously. Gun sellers, ammo dealers do NOT fund the PACs, the ones that endorse and contribute to campaign contributions. Who does? INDIVIDUALS. Gun OWNERS. Those who believe the 2nd Amendment is worth preserving and fighting for.
    That's hardly corrupt, it's merely self interest in preserving our Constitutional Rights.:deadhorse:

    CNN's goal: a leftist paradise ... the equalization of all incomes, re-writing the American Constitution to value group rights instead of individual rights, and ultimately one world government.
