A Republican running for Congress told the father of a Parkland, Fla., school shooting victim on Friday to stop "exploiting" his daughter’s death by calling for gun control legislation.

Javier Manjarres, who is running for office in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, took aim at Fred Guttenberg on Twitter, saying that his daughter, 14-year-old Jaime Guttenberg, was "shot by some lunatic who had an AR-15, not by the gun itself."

...snip...

Guttenberg said he would do anything in his power to prevent Manjarres from being elected.

"You have had your own issues with gun safety. I will do everything I possibly can to make sure you do not sniff the halls of Congress," he tweeted. “And please, do not mention my daughter again."

What a JERK Manjarres is!

Unfortunately, he's not alone in his "the gun didn't kill those students" crap.

I had a friend declare that guns had nothing to do with the Parkland school shooting. Uh... Wha.......??? I suppose the gunman used poisoned toothbrushes?

9. He was arrested for attempted murder after shooting 2015 . He has attacked parkland before this

“Manjarres alleged, without evidence, that extremists are ‘scripting these kids.’ He accused teenager Emma Gonzalez of ‘promoting he Communist government’ of Cuba because she wore a jacket with a Cuban flag, in line with attacks many other conservatives made.”

“In 2016 he was arrested for the attempted murder of his sister’s boyfriend after shooting a gun at him. [He] allegedly assaulted a man, punching him in the face with his fist. The man reported that he heard three gunshots as he drove to escape the assault.”

6. There's more....

Guttenberg later linked to a March 2016 article from Florida's Sun Sentinel newspaper, which described how Manjarres — then just a South Florida–based conservative blogger — was arrested and charged in connection with the attempted murder of his sister’s boyfriend.

Manjarres allegedly left the man with a broken nose and bullet holes in his pickup truck, according to a police report.

The charges were dropped a month later after the Palm Beach County Circuit Court assistant state attorney declined to prosecute the case, the newspaper reported.
