Florida school shooting survivor: Media using tragedy to push gun control
By Caleb Parke

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School senior, Brandon Minoff, said he's upset about the media's coverage of the mass shooting, he told Fox News.

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.

Minoff, who had a class with shooter Nikolas Cruz during his sophomore year, was outside when Cruz started firing. Minoff's brother, Aiden, was inside and heard the shots.  

Parkland, Florida shooting survivors demand gun laws change
Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School used the media to speak out against gun violence after a killer murdered 17 people at their school.
But Minoff said as soon as the gunfire stopped, the gun control push began.

"After getting home Wednesday night, three hours after the shooting took place, sitting on the couch and putting on the news, it pained me to hear conversations of gun control laws as I had just luckily escaped one of the deadliest school shootings in US history," Minoff said.

MSNBC's Brian Williams asked Minoff what he would do as a lawmaker to stop school shootings. Minoff immediately replied that banning guns just creates a higher demand for them, and contended the real issue is mental health reform.

The next day, Minoff said he watched as CNN again focused on gun control even as the shooter's troubling mental health history -- and missed warning signs -- began to emerge.

"And all day Thursday, CNN was interviewing gun experts and specialists to brainwash the audience that gun control is a necessity," he said. "They even have an army of my classmates trying to persuade other students that guns are unnecessary and should be illegal."

Minoff said he supports the First Amendment rights of his classmates, but he believes many of them are uninformed about guns and are just going along with the perceived popular opinion.

A makeshift memorial is seen outside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 students and faculty were killed.  

He pointed out that on the "March For Our Lives" website the mission statement says "We cannot allow one more teacher to make a choice to jump in front of a firing assault rifle to save the life of students." But, he noted, an assault rifle is an automatic weapon, and there wasn't an assault rifle used in the Florida shooting -- rather Cruz was armed with an AR-15.

Like many of his classmates, Minoff wants to make changes so this doesn't happen again, and he hopes to meet with President Trump to discuss solutions.

Minoff supports some regulations when it comes to purchasing firearms, such as age restrictions and more extensive background checks that include police reports -- especially given the police were called to the Cruz residence nearly 40 times before the shooting occurred.

"I would also talk about the importance of arming security guards and other trained individuals in schools," he said. "The only armed person in the school, the SRO, was reportedly nowhere to be found during the time of the attack and it shows in the fact that Cruz managed to vacate the school unscathed."

He added: "At the same time, [security guard and] Coach Aaron Feis had a face-to-face altercation with Cruz and was unable to do anything but use his body to shield others. The definition of security is 'state of being free from danger or threat,' but there is no freedom from danger or threat when security guards are unarmed."

There were thousands in the capital.

The only script was in Trump's hands.

The ground swell is rising. The do-nothing tactic that Republicans have used for years is going to bite them in the ass and you know what? I told you so.

-------------------------
I was right.

Trump doesn't play your 'do nothing' tactic.

If you haven't figured that out yet...well.....

Sorry, making teachers responsible for the safety of our children is a dumb fucking idea. They are already paid nothing, now we are going to ask them to put their lives in the line of fire too?

TRump has done nothing. Fact.

-------------------------
I was right.

LOL I would be keen to hear a repulican's "fiscally conservative" plan to have armed trained operators in every school in the country.

Should be no problem....


-------------------------
I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

Who said anything about 'make'?

ONLY YOU!

There are MULTITUDES of teachers that will do this because they want to protect THEMSELVES!

There are MULTITUDES that would do this to protect their children!

It just so happens that the teachers are ALREADY in the line of fire...and get killed because of it!

They cant even protect themselves let alone their children....all due to Biden's 'no gun zone' law!

It takes the cops over 10 minutes to respond to ANY of these shootings.

It takes a shooter on average less than 6 minutes to FINISH his carnage!

You do the math...IDIOT!

The only dumb fucking idea is more 'gun laws' that will NEVER work!

There was an armed officer in the school.

Most schools have armed officers in them.

Why do you keep saying these are gun free zones?

-------------------------
I was right.

He wasn't near the shooting and he didn't hear ANY of it!

As for the gun free zones....ONLY law enforcement officers are allowed on ANY campus with a gun!

IDIOT!

If there were TEN teachers with guns on that campus strategically located all over the place....that gunman would have been DEAD!

Furthermore he would have only gotten off a few shots to begin with!

The best part is that the shooter probably wouldn't have chosen a school to begin with KNOWING that he would probably die!

Because of ANOTHER GOD DAMN mass shooting in a school, students, teachers and millions of citizens are doing something about it.

More lies and bullshit for the king bullshitter himself.

There was an armed cop at last weeks shooting, that was not a gun free zone.

There was armed security at Pulse.

There were police all over Las Vegas.

Military bases have trained soldiers with fully automatic weapons.

The cop killer in Texas was shooting armed police officers and the area was open carry.

Your link is from NRA boot licking assholes just like you and we all know where you stand when it comes to honesty.

Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School is a GUN FREE ZONE!

As a matter of FACT the killer was expelled from school for having JUST BULLETS in his backpack! No gun...JUST BULLETS!

A gun free zone would mean there are no guns. There was an armed and trained police officer on the scene and multiple people died. That's a fact.

Nope!

A 'Gun Free Zone' by LAW states that the ONLY guns allowed are by licensed LAW ENFORCEMENT!
