Miami (CNN)Jeb Bush, speaking to a room full of high school students, said Tuesday that society needs to get better at identifying and helping people with mental health issues. He also argued that new gun laws aren't the right solution to address gun violence.

Asked if he believed in gun control, the Republican presidential candidate cast himself as a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and said he thinks Washington should stay out of the business of creating national laws.

"The federal government shouldn't be involved in gun laws because the country's very different," he said at La Progresiva Presbyterian School in Miami. "You go to a rural area, where guns are part of the culture, (and) to impose laws from Washington that are going to work in New York City, or work in a rural area, makes no sense."

His comments come less than a week after two journalists were shot and killed by a former colleague near Roanoke, Virginia, and Democrats were quick to pounce on his answer. The Democratic National Committee labeled his statement that the "federal government shouldn't be involved in gun laws" as "extreme" on Twitter.

Jeb Bush struts before NRA today, boasting of his "contributions", April 10, 2015

Jeb Bush will play up his A+ rating as governor from the NRA during a speech today before the group in Nashville, including his signing into law the now controversial "stand your ground" legislation that was a central focus of the Trayvon Martin killing.

.....

"He’ll address the current challenge our country faces under the Obama Administration, where the government is getting too big and too intrusive. Governor Bush will highlight many of the laws he passed as governor that served as a model for many other states’ gun laws."

Will someone kick this guy off the stage, once and for all?

We don't need one more moment of his zealotry.
