On the first weekend of their general election campaigns, a coalition of Democratic candidates running for state and federal office huddled on a blistering street corner in Miami with their sights set on a familiar target: firearms. A spate of school shootings across the nation in recent months, and the activism that emerged from South Florida after 17 students and educators were killed at a Parkland high school on Valentine’s Day, reignited the issue of guns in America as Democrats push to flip Tallahassee and Washington. |

“These kind of gun shows is where people buy high ammunition guns, all kinds of bump stocks and big magazines, all kinds of things that we don’t want our streets to have,” Taddeo said. “And then they turn around and go into other neighborhoods and resell them. This is exactly why we don’t want this in our community.”
"high ammunition guns" and "all kinds of bump stocks?
There is no such thing as the first, and there is only one kind of the second. It's better to keep one's mouth shut & be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
“For me, it’s never been a political issue,” [Mucarsel-Powell] said. “I lost my dad to gun violence. This is a personal issue.”
...so I'll use politics to foist my opinion. Right. Got it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
