The House will vote next week on a school safety measure as part of the GOP's response to the Florida school shooting last month, Republican leaders said Tuesday.

Lawmakers will consider a bipartisan bill from Rep. John Rutherford (R-Fla.), a former sheriff, that authorizes federal funding for prevention programs designed to educate students and adults about how to spot and report warning signs of gun violence.

During their weekly press conference, Republican leaders laid out how the House is responding to the deadly shooting rampage in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead and a number of others injured. But the House GOP strategy does not include enacting any new gun control measures, such as raising the age requirement to buy rifles.

Instead, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said lawmakers on the Oversight and Judiciary Committees will haul in the FBI to figure out why law enforcement failed to act on repeated warnings about the suspect in the Florida shooting.

1. That legislation is nearly as useful as thoughts and prayers

These chicken-shit gopers not only are doing NOTHING to prevent gun violence, they're passing the buck by attempting to blame the FBI for this school shooting.
