Another tragic heartbreaking shooting this time in Parkland, Florida, 17 students and teachers dead.

After a mass shooting that just is heartbreaking and horrific in every way, we'll discuss it, we'll break it all down, we'll bring you all the information.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

So there's a lot to get to with regard to this particular shooting. Another mass shooting, it's another month and another mass shooting.

And this has driven a lot of folks in the media to do what they always do after a mass shooting,

which is call for gun control, and then suggest that anyone who disagrees with their prescriptions

to solve problems like this must not care about the people who died,

which is one of the things I hate most about American politics. A tragedy occurs. An act of evil happens, and people who disagree with

the political prescription that is offered by most activist side are then deemed to be uncaring

or people who are unfeeling. It's something really despicable. I'll talk about that. We'll

talk about what exactly happened in Parkland. Who did, who failed, who succeeded, some of the stories of heroism. We'll talk about the response. We'll get to all of that in just a second.

It was heartbreaking and upsetting and deeply disturbing, obviously, whenever you see a situation

where somebody walks into a school and just starts gunning down students and teachers.

And last night, my daughter was really misbehaving.

She's four years old and she's at the stage where she says no to everything.

Like, everything is a challenge. Everything is, I have to threaten to take away her blankies unless she gets in bed and stops jumping on the bed so she doesn't crack her head. I mean, that's basically my life at night. And this morning, she woke up, and I went in her room, and she stood up on her bed, and she said, Daddy, can I have a hug?

And I just thought to myself, it's just a horrifying reality that there are a lot of parents

who are waking up this morning whose kids are not going to be saying that to them.

And it's just, if you're not heartbroken after seeing what just happened in Florida,

then you're not a human being.
