Florida shooting survivor: Media using tragedy to push gun control

[Local5th]

A survivor of the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who was previously interviewed by CNN and MSNBC following the mass shooting, told Fox News he believes certain media outlets are politicizing the tragedy to push gun control.
                                                   
Brandon Minoff, an 18-year-old senior, said the media chose to target gun control advocates instead of focusing on the 17 lives lost in Wednesday's slaughter.

                                    
“I wholeheartedly believe that the media is politicizing this tragedy,” Minoff said. “It seems that gun control laws is the major topic of conversation rather than focusing on the bigger issue of 17 innocent lives being taken at the hands of another human.”

                                                                  
Minoff said students at the school are well-meaning and passionate on both sides of the contentious gun issue. At least 100 students from the school were expected to march in front of the State Capital in Tallahassee on Wednesday to demand stricter gun laws.


Dozens of his classmates have willingly approached reporters and anchors to advocate for what they see as solutions to stop the school shooting epidemic. But Minoff said not all of the students at the school share the same stance -- yet most of the coverage has ignored those who favor gun rights.

                                    
“I know many people who are pro-gun and others who support gun control but it seems that the media is specifically targeting those in support of gun control to make it seem as if they are the majority, and the liberal news outlets are the ones that seem to make the bigger effort to speak to these people, and I'm talking from experience,” said Minoff, who was interviewed on cable news in primetime.

This is a side of the story that is not shared often.

It's been going on for days, like it's the most important thing there is and it's always accompanied with talk of guns and more gun control.   Anyone who says there is not a concerted effort to rally political action is brain dead.  Days.

It shows they don’t care about those poor victims

Only their  political agenda has any meaning for those heartless monsters

[warrenpees]

What a stupid premise for a thread. 

[wxzyw]

Liberals are heartless... we never hear a peep from them after all our Steinles, did we?

[sine-qua-non]

It’s  NOT about gun controll unless you support the NWO

It’s about protecting our kids from those who would kill them like babykiller booboob
Who said here he’d like to see more dead babies and moms shot blown up then burned

What kind of POS says evil shit like that

[sine-qua-non]

Your tiny dick told you that huh?

he may be right.  just like when a tributary of Lake Erie caught on fire the media reported on that often enough that the EPA was created to stop the incredible amounts of toxic chemicals being legally released into that lake and its tributaries.  the media is supposed to report on problems in our society and the news of the day.  it is funny how fox channel spent over a week to finally find one survivor who is part of the problem- people too fucking senseless to see how obviously the correct immediate answer is ban goddamn assault weapons in all its forms and high capacity clips.  then move on from there to other common sense gun control laws.  right wingers are too stupid to understand how to react to something that happens in our society almost every month- 5 or more unrelated people being slaughtered in a matter of seconds or minutes by some asshole with an assault weapon.

I’m a lifelong ‘gun guy,’ but the Florida shooting has changed my mind

 I’m not buying it anymore. I’m stealing away, running from camp, out into the darkness where one resolves issues with clear thought instead of cheerleading.
