Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said gun control legislation is not the solution to stop mass school shootings. While speaking on Capitol Hill Wednesday in the wake of the Texas school shooting, the Republican said the issue is not the firearm, but it\u2019s the \u201cderanged lunatic\u201d instead.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida lawmaker then said Congress needs to pass proposals that make a difference. Rubio was referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/111\">Luke and Alex School Safety Act<\/a>, which he and two other senators introduced in March to improve school security.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The horrific tragedy in Texas should spur Congress to act on proposals that can pass &#038; actually make a difference like our bipartisan Luke &#038; Alex School Safety Act <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SafeSchoolsForAll?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SafeSchoolsForAll<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3dFvTOfy9y\">https:\/\/t.co\/3dFvTOfy9y<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fk1HrwoxJ8\">https:\/\/t.co\/fk1HrwoxJ8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcorubio\/status\/1529430413655134208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThese are not people that from one day to the next decide I\u2019m gonna go do this,\u201d Rubio asserted. \u201cThere are indicators ahead of time. That\u2019s why the School Safety Act is so important. It creates what is a clearinghouse that provides best practices and allows people to understand what are the pathologies, what are the things that you look for before before this happens?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The School Safety Act would include threat prevention, preparedness, protection, incident response and recovery. So far, the measure has only passed the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/california-legislature-wants-to-pass-more-vaccine-bills\/\">California Legislature Wants To Pass More Vaccine Bills<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
