I have a word of caution for those considering a visit to Florida and even those of us who live here: the NRA is winning. As most everyone is aware, Florida has a “shoot first ask questions later” law. This law allows people to shoot someone if they feel threatened. This new “warning shot” bill… Continue reading

Gun Control and Compromise: Impossible?
Probably, yes. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, there was a mass shooting you have no doubt heard of in California. Not surprisingly, there was little noise about the shooting. Why?

An article on Townhall addressed the Stand Your Ground laws. “An individual’s right to possess a firearm to defend one’s self is guaranteed unequivocally in the Second Amendment to our Constitution.” Actually, it only says that if you remove several words.

By the way, it’s not just gun control, it’s bullet control, it’s mental… Continue reading

I debated with myself about whether to discuss guns and shootings in this country. I wrote something unrelated but have decided to push that piece off to Wednesday and address what appears to be an epidemic of mass murdering in this country; something unique to the United States. Are we free? Yes. And, we should… Continue reading
