Parkland Student Calls for Confiscation of All Semi-Auto Guns — Then She Gets Hit with Fact Check
It didn’t take long for famed-student Emma Gonzalez, from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, to use Sunday’s massacre at a Tennessee Waffle House to blast the National Rifle Association and guns while advocating for more gun control.
(1/4) He was white and he used an AR-15. The @NRA is about to say this man had mental health issues, so that the rest of us will get scared of anyone with poor mental health and buy a gun in preemptive defense so that gun sales increase. Shootings don’t just happen in schools, https://t.co/FIzyTCvuA1

(2/4) they happen everywhere in America, and now one has happened in Waffle House. You can donate all the shooting shelters to schools that you want, but at the end of the day, we can’t build our world out of Kevlar – someone is making Mad Money off that.

(3/4) The local police say a man at the scene wrestled his gun away – looks like you don’t need to arm a teacher (or a resource officer) to stop a shooting. There goes the sales pitch for @SmithWessonCorp 🤷♀️

(4/4) Removing the assault and semi-automatic weapons from our Civilian society, instituting thorough background checks and mandatory waiting periods (and raising the buying age and banning the production of high-capacity magazines) are the ways to stop shootings in America.

The FBI defines a mass shooting as 4 people killed (not including the shooter). Mass shootings occur in churches, in schools, at concerts, in waffle houses – just about anywhere. Except in other countries. https://t.co/gf8k8UAy1k

In fact, mass shootings do happen in other countries, including the top six most deadly shooting massacres in history, Saavedra explained:
This is a lie, the 6 deadliest shootings in history were outside the US:
(year/attack/deaths)
1. 2017 Egypt Mosque, 305
2. 2014 Kenya University College, 148
3. 2015 Pakistan School, 141
4. 2015 Paris Attacks, 130
5. 2011 Norway Attacks, 67
6. 2013 Kenya Shopping Mall, 67 https://t.co/lQ7yIzoAil— Ryan Saavedra 🇺🇸 (@RealSaavedra) April 22, 2018
