However, France has among the most stringent gun control laws in the world, as does Belgium. This fact did not stop the massacres in those countries, but it did prevent their law-abiding citizens from defending themselves. Florida has among the most liberal gun laws in our nation, yet prohibited guns in the establishment where this tragedy took place. One armed guard outside the building was insufficient to stop the attack. What might have changed if only 10 or 15 of the 300 nightclub patrons, each properly trained and licensed, had been carrying a weapon for self-defense? |

Florida does not allow CCW in bars or businesses that make more than 50% of income from alcohol. Thus again it was a gun free zone. The cops waited 3 hrs to go in while people bled out and Omar made phone calls and texts. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
