It would be just as easy to crash a big jetliner into the boardwalk without any guns

Whenever I hear this I come a step closer to believing in space aliens. Whoever originated this saying could not possibly have met a human being.

and firing shots in a crowded area is likely to hit innocent bystanders or have people get injured in the stampede running away from this.

All very polite of course.

Used to go there all the time. We were just there a few months ago, such a beautiful day hanging out and relaxing. Would never have thought something like that would happen there. But it happens everywhere now. Every. Where.

anyplace. If more happens in Florida, Disney might eventually see a falloff of tourists ... And the GOP collects cash from the NRA and manufacturers. And in Florida now, thanks to Ron DeNazi, practically anyone can get a gun and conceal it. It is insane!

Why else do people carry guns? We give people the absolute right to carry guns and expect them not to shoot them? Insane!

Who cares if babies and bystanders also get shot? Collateral damage for gun humpers.

but you are actually *encouraged* to do so. That's probably a first in human civilization and might be subtley re-jiggering the brain's risk/reward calculation.

internationally. The governor of Florida just laughs at them and calls them political. That is what Florida has turned into.
