Florida has draconian laws against murder. Where do you get this nonsense?Florida has pretty lax laws on murder. The popcorn killer is pleading innocence under Florida's lax laws regarding self defense. I too hope he never sees another day of freedom but we've seen other killers get off under these laws. In any case, that guy, as you say, took a life for no good reason. I don't really care to see this happen again. Arguments for carrying guns in public and that's what I'm discussing here, are not very convincing because what's said -- that gun ownership makes people safer -- doesn't match reality:
I look at our neighbor, Canada where people don't have the free will to carry guns in theaters where they might have a stupid argument with somebody else. They have teensy rates of gun violence compared to us. Its up to gun owners to remove the dissonance between the argument that gun ownership makes people safer and reality. Or else eventually, people like me are going to have their way and we'll join the rest of the developed world regarding gun laws. Its up to you guys, not me to do something about this.
Please give a citation of people getting away with murder because of "lax murder laws".
Gun ownership made those innocent people in the barbershop safer. That's reality.
