Gun-control advocates push for tougher laws

[HAB911]

11. You just cant imagine how this could ever happen in a state like ours.

That’s what Governor Rick Scott said in reaction to the horrific shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport less than two weeks ago, James.
Gov. Scott may not know how, but we do. For years the NRA has been doing everything they can to chip away at our public safety laws, to make it easier for dangerous people to get their hands on guns, and to allow guns in more places, particularly here in Florida.

And now, the gun lobby's extremist allies in the legislature want to make Florida even more dangerous -- including forcing our airports to let people carry guns, even in the wake of the Fort Lauderdale shooting. We can’t let that happen.


The survivors and families of victims of the Fort Lauderdale mass shooting lived through their worst nightmare. Five people were killed, and six others shot and injured by a man who never should’ve had a gun.

But still, Governor Scott "can't imagine how this could ever happen in a state like ours." And still, our lawmakers are pushing a bill that would allow guns in our airports, our schools, on our college campuses. It's unacceptable.
Our law enforcement officers say that more guns in places like airports and elementary schools make it harder and more dangerous for them to do their jobs. But apparently Florida lawmakers are more concerned about doing the gun lobby’s bidding than protecting our first responders and families from gun violence.

That's why it's more important than ever for us to stand up and speak out against their dangerous agenda -- and fight against laws that will make our state less safe.

IMHO of course.
