    | I am not, however, comfortable around Florida legislators — because they don't have a healthy respect for firearms, basic safety or even common sense.
 
 They have proposed guns in schools, guns in airports — even bills making it easier for Floridians to shoot each other without getting convicted.
 
 If brains were ammo, these guys would be firing blanks.
 
 Yet they are again gearing up to treat the next legislative session like a fight at the OK Corral.

 Words fail me.  "Easier to shoot each other without getting convicted??"  So, if you are attacked by an armed criminal who is trying to KILL YOU, but you have a gun and shoot the  **** in self-defense, you should be convicted!!!  Or, perhaps just made to spend your life's savings on a lawyer to defend you in a trial.
 There's many flavors of EVIL out there.

                      | No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion.  — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |  |  |
