Rubio has been the target of a lot of criticism from gun control advocates in the wake of the shooting, and in response has been more outspoken than usual for him on his Twitter account. Yesterday, he posted a series of tweets pushing back against some of the more disingenuous attacks against him.

He has continued to comment about gun laws and proposals he would be interested in supporting, including the “gun violence restraining order” idea praised by National Review‘s David French.

It’s called gun-violence restraining order & can be crafted to respect 2nd Amendment & right to due process #Sayfie https://t.co/TtzrVmu1h1

Rubio also shared a New York Times link discussing a program in Los Angeles that seeks to identify potentially violent people before they act.

A system like this which focuses on violence before it happens could have prevented #ParklandShooting #Sayfie https://t.co/MCWDWW4jir
