Florida should not loosen gun laws

4. So anti-gun authors/activists can promote their opinions and agendas, as much as the gun lobby

promote theirs? Makes sense.

Understood it is an opinion piece - so lots of use of the word "may" in there
"may increase...", "may impede...", "disregarding risks...", etc. that may be possibly associated with campus carry, more concealed carry etc.

Thomas Gabor is a criminologist based in Palm Beach County and is the author of "Confronting Gun Violence in America." Patricia Brigham is the co-chair of the Florida Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence and first vice president of the League of Women Voters of Florida.

A small gun control organization, using the Pulse nightclub mass killing as a call to action, is making the long-shot attempt at bringing a ban on some semi-automatic firearms and their magazines to Florida....Terming themselves the Florida Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence...they have two stated legislative goals: bring universal background checks and a statewide ban on “all semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity feeding devices” to Florida...In the past, Brigham has been all over the state, pushing expanded background checks, campaigning against open carry and campus carry and even visiting firearms dealers in the Sunshine State to make sure that the businesses have signage that is required by law

Confronting Gun Violence in America explores solutions to the gun violence problem in America, a country where 90 people die from gunshot wounds every day. The wide-range of solutions assessed include: a national gun licensing system; universal background checks; a ban on military-style weapons; better regulatory oversight of the gun industry; the use of technologies, such as the personalization of weapons; child access prevention; repealing laws that encourage violence; changing violent norms; preventing retaliatory violence; and strategies to rebuild American communities.

David Hemenway gave it 5 stars! Must be a real anti gem!


Anyway - I am all for training - its a blast, and makes sense if you'll be carrying.
