In a neutral context, I have no problem with asking politicians about the donors they take money from. In that context, the obvious implication is that if Rubio won't reject the NRA, then he has no sympathy for this kid.
Both sides will occasionally weaponize tragedy to advance an agenda. It's repulsive when either side does it. That's what CNN did, they are a complete joke.

Those were victims of this tragedy asking him that. CNN gave them a forum to do it. Not sure Faux news did the same.

No being a lawyer of any type, i wonder why if the 2nd A gives you the right to keep and bear arms you cannot have bombs, cannons, fully automatic weapons, etc.

Some of the more basic readings of 2A would allow that, as well as Constitutional Carry. Nor am I a lawyer.
There are probably more illegally configured full auto than legal NFA firearms. That people willing to pay much more and jump thru more hoops can get on occasion.

So why don't they then? Crime with legally obtained full auto is statistically not even relevant. I haven't seen a stat on illegal full auto weapons but if it's out there it's pretty rare also.

They are out there but yes the numbers are low, confirmed usage is low, but they are out there.

Not sure why this matters to the discussion.

But CNN doesn't let abortion survivors confront Democrats who take money from Planned Parenthood. Nor does CNN let Kate Steinle's family confront Democrats who advocate open borders and sanctuary policies. Only victims whose cause is sympathetic to liberals, get to confront their adversaries on CNN.

its funny Police shoot kill unarmed suspect The right supports them blue lives matter
Cop doesn't engage school shooter The right , his lack of action was pure cowardice
How does one choose who to protect out of a school of 3000 kids
who knows why he did what he did? was he covering and securing the wave of kids near him panicking as they ran by ,, did he know where the shooter was? was he waiting for back up like all officer are trained to do? or is the right pissed at him because it blew a whole in the good guy with a gun Fairy tale they have been promoting the past several
years
and if on Cue fox say's it Trump repeats it Trump suggests Florida officer a 'coward'

Explain how it's different, other than the lack of sympathy that liberals have for their cause?
