The editorial board at the Gainesville Sun published a piece Thursday condemning continued proposals that would see guns on college campuses in Florida.
“Just as First Amendment rights don’t allow someone to yell fire in a crowded theater, the Second Amendment doesn’t allow for a limitless right to carry a firearm anywhere,” wrote Gainesville Sun opinion editor Nathan Crabbe, speaking for the editorial board. “Even campus-carry proponents concede this point, given that (Senate Judiciary Chairman Greg) Steube’s proposal would retain bans on carrying guns into police stations, jails, courtrooms, polling places and most bars.” |

Campuses and police stations should not be exceptions to an individuals' rights. Folks will soon get comfortable with a significant part of the populace carrying a sidearm and everyone will be the safer. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
