NEWTON, Iowa — The moments happen all across the country. Tiny faces, peering out from behind their parents, or timidly accepting a microphone as the room falls silent. They make eye contact with a larger-than-life presidential candidate and ask: Can you keep me safe at school? Can you stop the shootings?
"What do you plan to do about school shootings?" Scout asked, telling Booker, D-N.J., that she and her brother are home-schooled in part because their parents fear they could become the victims of gun violence.Courtesy of the Maloney Family In Scout's case, her parents also attended the event, and encouraged their daughter to ask the question. In some cases, older students are members of advocacy groups, like Every Town for Gun Safety.
Student Milan Underberg asks Beto O'Rourke about his plans to stop gun violence at Berg Middle School in Newton, Iowa, on May 6, 2019.Sometimes, it is the candidates themselves who are overcome with emotion. That was the case with businessman Andrew Yang last week in Des Moines, Iowa, when a question about one twin watching another get shot on a playground caused him to think about his own young children.

Why not ask Beto to help ban McDonalds or Sonic? Statistically speaking the sugar doled out, by the train load annually, at those eating establishments will harm & kill far more of her classmates & age group than ANY potential armed shooters!! Eliminate the SUGAR LOOPHOLES! 😆
Miriam2626 Whatever the other candidates tell him to say.
He'll run you all down with his car.
Nothing will happen until these kids parents vote the GOP out of office. Republicans love guns more than they do people -- GunSenseNow TrumpIsADisgrace - the GOP like MarcoRubio are cowards
'I'll punish people who had nothing to do with it.'
Nothing. Except The NRA wants every kids in American to carry a 38.
He will volunteer to change all of your flat tires
Why is she worried about school shooters?
😂😂😂😂😂 stay off Twitter
wander_orwonder Beto2020!!
I'm going to go with stop fantasizing about running over small children with your car.
This is child abuse
Go to school in Australia! Much safer!!!!
This is all staged. Parents brainwashing their kids.
maybe you should stop bullying that weird guy from your class for starters
They are more likely to be struck by lighting than shot in school.
What a drama queen.
And bobby, after finishing his last handful of dirt, said it's Trump's fault.
Is it really worth not tightening our gun laws to prevent our children from feeling this way? The Republicans have a lot of soul searching to do in this country.
Trans-Hispanic Bobby gonna save the latinos, as his billionaire Jewish father-in-law kicks them off their lands for development purposes.
He’s a democrat! More laws will fix it.
Armed guards in all schools. Anyone against this is for these kids being shot up.
Her parents have failed
Not much. He's likely not going to get the nomination and by not running for the Sen he's not going to have much of a say in what happens. Shame.. he could be a great Senator.
'Can u keep me safe at school?' Candidates never asked that question when I was a kid back in 1980s. The murder rate in NYC was high. After being held at gunpoint (3x), I never felt safe; not at school or at home. But, it's funny how quick gun control laws were enacted back then.
Teach your children well and they're won't be a problem.
Sweetheart if your that fearful you should be home schooled. BTW your parents are doing a bad job you should call child protective services and get removed from your home environment
stirring up terror in a children’s classroom to push their left wing narrative?
Give me a break- staged BS
realDonaldTrump has done NOTHING for guncontrol & while IvankaTrump roams on a clean patch of grass, Trump lifts EndangeredSpeciesAct & EPA standards to protect the environment. USA is NOT a safe place! BoycottUSATravel GunReformNOW ClimateChangeIsReal
I hope these candidates are completely honest with these kids about how effective any measure would be. We all have always needed to be proactive
How can we use children as props to push a socialist agenda 🤔🤔🤔
Because their parents are using them for their own politics.
Electronic weapon detectors should be installed in all public places like CCTVs.
Good news kids, gun violence is at a half century all time low and the news is just a bunch of fork tongued propagandists trying to manipulate you!
Questions from children that have been coached right ?
