Reply #21: It's not "gun love" that brought this on...

[spin]

Watkins has been arrested on numerous charges in the past 14 years, including battery on a pregnant female, retaliation against a witness and grand theft. His most recent arrest was in October 2008 on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm.

It looks like another failure of the judicial system.

Watkins had shown violent tendencies in the past. The most recent arrest for "aggravated assault with a firearm" should have taken him off the streets for the rest of his life. Had that happened, he would not have been able to exercise his "gun love".

And you were not advising Floridians that "this is what gun love brings".

Far from it.

You advised the criminal element "You shoot first. You don't smile or say hi. Whomever you encounter MAY BE ARMED! Because Florida empowers its citizens to carry guns. Safety first!"

Don't try to plaster over your statement with flowers.
