Florida’s gun laws have always been among the loosest in the nation, but after the Parkland School Shooting, convicted criminal Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Republican-dominated legislature quickly passed new gun laws within 30 days of the shooting. They added Red Flag laws, and raised the gun ownership age to 21.
It was the only time I’ve seen Republicans enthusiastically support gun restrictions, and they worked. The Red Flag laws kept many guns out of the hands of many troubled people, and raising the age made it more difficult for younger school age tennis to get guns. If 17 yo asks his 18 yo buddy to get him again, he’ll probably be successful. If he asks a 21 yo, he’s likely to be told to get lost. There were no more school shootings in Florida.
Then convicted criminal Rick Scott became a Senator, and every time gun control would come up, instead of talking about his success (one of his few as governor), he tried to run from it, and would always give a canned answer that he didn’t want to restrict the 2nd Amendment. What a coward.
Then DeSatan took over, and like all of these Neanderthal PedoCons, he is far more concerned with trolling and owning the libs, than governing responsibly, so he lowered the age of gun ownership to 18. He also repealed the law requiring a class to receive a concealed carry permit. Anyone can carry a gun. Now an 18 yo can walk into a gun shop, buy a gun, load it, stick it in his waistband, and walk out.
Soon after these new laws (or lack thereof), there was a murder in which an angry 15 yo was able to get a gun from an 18 yo and kill someone. Now we have teens shooting at each other all over Florida.
A dozen generations of American children grew up learning to hunt and shoot targets without significant incidents. School shootings only became epidemic post-9/11, or maybe the late 90s if you stretch the definition. Guns are dangerous but there’s more happening here than a direct causal relationship.
Wealth inequality is higher. Education is waning. Food security is a big problem. Limiting access to guns is a solution but it isn’t the root issue for sure.
Yeah, grew up around guns and always had easy access to them. I also grew up learning gun safety for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is my grandfather teaching me how to handle the bb gun he bought me for my first Christmas safely and that guns were dangerous and not to be treated as toys.
I also had a terrible time in school and easy access to them if I had wanted to do a school shooting but the thought never even occurred to me. I did get into fights and some of those I instigated but that was all. Something else is wrong with these people that do mass shootings. Gun owners should be keeping them away from unsupervised kids but also there needs to be counseling in place to catch the ones that are prone to violence before they do something. Even if you take every single gun out of circulation violent people will still do violence.
For fucking real! Like I had a bb gun as a kid and that’s it, and that was Florida parents! These people live in Portland and have their 13year old multiple ARs and handguns‽ This investigation into them should not take long.
Stop allowing children to have guns. Thank you for your attention to this mater.

Good job, DeSatan

Things shifted when guns became less of a tool and more of a cool thing.
It took one generation for my family to only have hunting rifles they used in the house… to collecting various guns just because they can.

Stop allowing anyone to have
kidsgunsThank you for your attention to this matter
I thought the guns were the parents and the police decided to take them home.
Stop allowing adults to have guns too. Especially the ones giving access to them to their children.
Agreed. Only Trump and those he designates should be armed. The rest of us should remain harmless
I would suggest not relying on Mater to fix the gun problems. He is an international spy but I don’t think he’s got the tools to fix this problem…
