Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has blocked a school safety bill from being voted on after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) called for the Luke and Alex School Safety Act to be passed by unanimous consent.
Republicans reacted angrily, with Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) calling the chamber's top Democrat “a liar and a hack” on Twitter.
The bill, named after Parkland, Florida, shooting victims Luke Hoyer and Alex Schachter, would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a “Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices” for use by state and local educational and law-enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education, health professionals, and the public. And it would require DHS to “collect clearinghouse data analytics, user feedback on the implementation of best practices and recommendations identified by the clearinghouse, and any evaluations conducted on these best practices and recommendations.”
The clearinghouse, which is already available at SchoolSafety.gov, would be codified into law with the bill's passage.
Schumer objected to Johnson's request, claiming on Twitter that the bill “could see more guns in schools.”
“The truth: There were officers at the school in Texas,” Schumer tweeted. “The shooter got past them. We need real solutions—We will vote on gun legislation starting with the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.”
Johnson called Schumer's response “a sad day for the United States Senate.”
Florida's senior United States Senator also responded on Twitter:
They are not interested in school safety. THRY WANT TOTAL CONTROL. THEY WANT OR GUNS BECAUSE THEY KNOE WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO KILL THEM WHENEVER WE SEE FIT. THEY ARE TRAITORS.
Shall not be infringed. How does Schumer expect to pass what sounds like a bill to provoke the law abiding gun owners of America? These are the same people who will have to put their commie government out of business soon enough and what he has said sounds like he is in fear of that very outcome. The November election can’t come soon enough for me and if it fails to put an end to this Marxist, socialist, democrat coup, there could be hell to pay.
Even the Canadians are getting prepared for the fall of the United States. When it does , there will “be blood” . The “left” can not read or comprehend the Constitution any better than Pelosi , so the only avenue to the “left” , is do what Stalin , Mao , Fidel , Hugo , Papa “Doc” , Benito , and others have always done., CONTROL the media , Control the right to own firearms , and control the freedom to speech , assembly , and religion .
Shame on Shumer , Shame on the democrats , and shame on “antifa/blm/lbgto whatever”.
Shame on Schumer Cancels a school safety bill and in the same breath 19 school kids are killed. I guess Schumer and the rest of the Democratics don’t give a sh## for the US citizens ,these politicians are big talk with no response .Taking guns off the market isn’t the problem.Guns can’t discharge themselves,there has to be a live person to pull the trigger- that’s the problem “THE HUMAN BEING” Start their…
Schumer is Demonrat scum who needs removed from office and the Repugnants that sided with him need to be in jail.
