lawmakers sot down a bill that would have banned semi-automatic 'assault' weapons such as the AR-15 used in the Parkland school massacre.

However, they did agree to raise the legal age for purchasing a firearm to 21 as well as approve legislation that would give teachers the right to carry guns in school.

The amendments were introduced as part of a packaged set of bills following Nikolas Cruz's shooting spree that left 17 students and faculty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School dead on Valentine's Day.

According to NBC-2, Florida's Senate Rules Committee spent more than two hours debating the gun-control issues before eventually casting their votes.

In addition to raising the legal purchase age and giving teachers the right to carry, senators also agreed to confiscate guns from people with mental health issues.

The assault weapons amendment, was rejected by a seven-to-six vote with senators voting along party lines.

Sick American Government....

Because of their selfish interests knowing that banning of assault rifles will make them loose billions of dollars

Insane stuff.
The teachers will now be the shooters while African Americans will become the victims.

America's becoming a hunting ground gradually

Americans love guns. And there is nothing anyone can do about that. The guns won their independence.
When there is a rampage shooting, they see more reasons to own guns for self-defense.
Land of the free and home of the brave indeed.

i thought nigeria is a mad country i didnt know we had a senior brother in the ministry

Beautiful state.

More guns


Exactly what american s need

That country sha, na craze everyday...

The United States and Guns


Seems the weight behind arms and ammunitions is just to heavy for the legislative and executive to control...

[/b]PURGE[b] slowly coming to reality**

I hope Benue state governor has seen this news. Instead of waiting until all your people are killed, ARM THEM TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

The government has failed us!

One day, an insane teacher will turn round and kill the students with same rifle they arm him/her with. Best solution is to collect rifle from everybody except security operatives.

There is no way they can ban assault weapons in the US. The NRA and the GOP ain't gonna let that happen

Na to travel go Yankee with Baba Oluwawo go dey sell "Ayeta"(shoot no enter/local bulletproof), business go boom!!!

Uhmm don't just arm the teachers, arm the whole school.

Tomorrow a mad teacher would then open fire on all his class pupil,

And the day a teacher goes commando and the students nko.
Sick people

Story, who are those shooting up Chicago? Is it not the same African Americans? They are no better than their white counterparts

I dey tell you. A more sick senior brother.
Instead of banning guns and making the environment safer, they arm teachers with more guns to fight more persons who comes to sch with guns.
I don't know if this is suppose to be a class or a war zone

Shitholes everywhere.

Let the real shooting begin

And a depressed teacher will still kill unarmed students.

These guys are the owners of USA.

Imagine, an AK47 rifle costs between $1,150 - $2,500.

Not to talk of other sophisticated weapons.

Nigeria=> shit holes Sudan=> shitter holes USA=> shitest holes

Why is America not declare unsafe place to go? But if it where to be Africa, I know that by now the news would have been on all media declaring the whole nation unsafe.
