I live in Florida. A joke about this state a lot, but it's all in good fun. Freedom comes with a price, unfortunately evil takes advantage of freedom and use it to pray on the innocent. Our gun laws aren't the problem, this is a societal problem. Problem that's being ignored.

Unfortunately you can't predict who will use a firearm for evil. No laws can stop that. Even if you pass all the gun control you want, evil will find a way to take a life. I encourage people to prepare for these types of acts. Buy a gun in train with it.
Don't rely on a piece of paper to protect you. We have laws against murdering and injuring people with weapons on the books, that didn't stop someone today from killing three people and injuring 11 others at a video game event with a firearm.
Be prepared is all I'm saying. Laws are necessary if they work. Clearly since 1934 #guncontrol laws haven't worked. They make us more vulnerable to evil acts of violence. They give us this false sense of security. They are campaign slogans, not tools to defend us against death.
Your favorite celebrities and politicians who push for gun control are often protected by men and women who carry guns. Why you may ask? Because they are prepared in case someone tries to harm or kill them. Why shouldn't we? Why have laws to hinder that?
Some will say "we just want guns out of the hands of the criminally insane, criminals, domestic abusers and terrorist". "Law abiding citizens should't be labeled by blanket laws as being any of the things you just name". That's my response to that.
