Hiding out.
Stop making movies that portray gun violence. Start with yourself sir!
He’s doing this because he’s trying to run for office in Texas later….
The whole period of 30 years of the country’s independence Kulibayev family robbed businesses, people. They were part of so called mighty Nazarbayev clan and this has to end. Only developed countries like yours are able to help to balance the justice in regards of this family. This process has already started. Even the latest movie about Nursultan Nazarbayev called Golden man produced by Oliver Stone tells the world the truth. Nazarbayev in his interview said himself that he shot peacefu civilians during events in Zhana Ozen in 2011. He admitted it himself. Crimes like this are against all legal and human rights. The small group of people has stolen all from the people and ruined the economy. Now the country is surviving. All because of bunch of criminals including Timur Kulibayev, Dinara Kulibayeva, Bolat Nazarbayev, Umut
Shayakhmerova, Raushan Sagdiyeva. Howcome all of these crimes are unnoticed by the world leaders like you?!
Give us the armed protection he has 24/7 and we wouldn’t need guns either

defund hollywood 🤮
Like they defunded your schooling?
Ignorant comment.
Thank you. I totally agree. Enough with these senseless shootings! Been in this battle for 40 years. Gun control an responsibility has little to do with your interpretation of the Second Amendment!
shall not be infringed
Don’t let them take your guns! The police didn’t protect those children. Who will protect you and your loved ones? This is an emotional smoke screen!
Your words help heal
My last name is Rodriguez. If I have a daughter she will be named Maite.
I like that MM is using his position to help .I can see in him and hear in him the exact things I’m feeling.
That this happened in his home has destroyed a lot of good folk for no damn reason and he’s not just standing by and is trying to do what clearly needs to be done.
I have no desire to be filled with hate or barbaric thoughts of murder but what happened here and is happening in other places is just to much and it’s breaking my heart knowing the pain so many are going threw with no real answers as to why or really what to do from here.
It’s spread all over the news every day and keeps happening near day to day one week to week one after another never ending.
There needs to be some hard things talked about and things need to be done to make sure these things stop 🛑 cold in there tracks.
Schools now need long Corredor‘s that have 2-3 Metal detectors each student must walk by daily and or a detector is set off a cage system should close per each Metal detector stopping anyone dead in there tracks that cages then in with redundancies so that if one detector doesn’t notice it the second one or third one will.
There needs to be one way in a school and one way out and systems in place for fire drills and exiting the schools safely with the same systems still in place that don’t impede getting out of the building in case of fire.
Two armed full time guards for each entry or exit front to back.
Locked doors for each class only the teachers can open or close.
Armed teachers perhaps with training required etc. etc. etc.
Now I am going to say something I don’t think most will like but I fell it a must because it’s how I feel .I want to be very clear that I’m not for Unnecessary violence in all things and do not permits violence or hate.
That being said a child’s life is worth more then any adults regardless of status.A 5 year old child’s life will always trump an adults and of death were a trade off the child just always survive over the elders weather it’s a child you know or one you know nothing of.
That being said we as the people need to start making horrible horrible examples for those who could do such a God awful of heinous crime such as this one and the ones that came before and after.
For the person that dose this crime if he survives needs to be held up for the world to see what happens when you kill innocent children or good unarmed towns folk in church or shopping floor every day stuff.
I think we need to take these killers of children and hand them over fro the family’s to decide his or her fate as they see fit.
I believe that this kind of person should be put 10 feet above the ground on a 6 foot rope that’s tied Around there there wrists like hand cuffs,then tied off above so the child killer gets a deep gash across the belly then locked off the chair to be disemboweled for all to see good and bad people alike.
It would strike fear into them to never do it.
I hate that I am rubbing this but knowing those children were so badly wounded they were unrecognizable,I can’t imagine a worse thing to happen then what happened that day.
If you open a mans cheats and beat out his beating heart it’s less then he deserves.
This is what awful hatred creates in good people with broken hearts for all time.
These killers don’t deserve honer or lack of pain in there execution.
It’s people that do this to people and it’s just so very wrong.
The gun issue will always be an issue .
Now you can 3-D ghost guns these days or go on like and order individual gum parts to assemble them right on eBay.
It’s very easy to make a zip gun in your basement that shoots real ammo.
Guns are part of it not there is more then just that.
This can’t keep happening.
It’s like the plastering of these story’s prompt other crazy to go do it again and again over and over.
I hate when actors are used to play on the emotions of the people. In the inner cities we have violent gangs, drugs, fatherless children, poor education, extreme poverty, poor living conditions, violence and a whole host of other problems. As long as we have these types of societal problem, we will have gun related issues. White liberal do not understand that. These problems won’t disappear with just a stroke of a pen. If these laws are passed and the politician realize that they did not work. They will be asked by the same people (liberal) to do more in regards to gun control. America must address some generational problems (slavery, Jim Crow, Red Lining, segregation and access to wealth). Then we will move in the right direction for gun control. We must address criminals and the crime they commit. Right now we are just punishing the law abiding citizens. This country possess the worst leaders in the world. What other civilized nation would allow ACTORS to address the American People on such important matters.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:”The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
Matt 23 NIV
YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.
If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.
In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
