Lasso That Thar Law.

Of all the dim-witted laws I've seen, Florida legislators have topped them all. They just passed a law that says no local municipality can have any gun control law on the books. All such laws must be done away with. If your town in Florida doesn't eliminate any gun control law, it can be fined $100,000. Not only that but a local elected official can be individually fined $5000. So a town can tell you you are not allowed to have a slingshot, but it'll be okay if you want to bring a machinegun. Now as I've said before, I like guns. But then again I do think they have their place. For instance, if you want to go hunting, it sometimes helps to have a gun. But I can see no advantage to having a gun at the Sunday school picnic. What if everybody brought their guns to the movies some night? I guess if a holdup man came in, they could all draw their guns and start firing. The holdup man would likely get shot. Along with a dozen or so movie-goers. See carrying and potentially firing that gun in a darkened place doesn't improve your aim. Not unless you're using night vision gggles too. Except that night vision goggles are not particularly helpful in watching a movie. But, the law's the law. If the state of Florida wants to be the first state in the union to return to the "wild west", that's their privilage. On the other hand, I'm not convinced it is exactly what the good folks of Florida had in mind when they elected these yahooes. Think about it. The larget group of Floridians is the older adult group. The number of retired folks that live in Florida is substantial. And that particular group is well known for voting in much larger numbers than any other group. I can't imagine all those grandmas wanting all those scary guns pointed at her when she walks into the movie a bit late. I don't think that grandma stepped into the voting booth and thought "hmm, who will make it easier for me to strap on a six gun"? Okay, okay. Grandpa may think of himself as the reincarnation of The Duke, but that doesn't mean grandma would allow him to vote for guns.
