Crosstalk: February 19, 2018

​These are just some of the stories that made the cut for this edition of the 'Round-Up':

--The FBI revealed that they received a tip last month that 19 year old Nikolas Cruze, accused of the Valentine's Day Florida high school shooting, had a gun, wanted to kill people, and there was the potential of him conducting a school shooting.
--In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the liberal media was quick to push gun control while vigorously waving a ridiculous school shooting statistic put out by the anti-gun lobbyist group known as 'Every Town for Gun Safety'. According to their numbers, there've been 18 school shootings since the start of 2018. This claim is false. Even the liberal Washington Post felt the need to call out this group and the rest of the media.

--A relative has indicated that Nikolas Cruze, who committed Wednesday's mass murder, was on psychiatric medications.
