    | Goodman: This is an example of where an issue bubbles up from our grassroots. We’ve been working on gun safety – not gun control – for Florida for the past three or four years. We’ve worked the past two years on both “campus carry” and “open carry,” and have been able to beat those against the most powerful lobby in this state, the National Rifle Association.
 
 ...
 
 We’re asking for two things: Universal, expanded background checks for the state of Florida; and a ban on assault weapons, specifically the type used in the Pulse shooting that includes large clips of ammunition.

    | They can call it whatever they want, but it sure sounds like gun control to me. |

    | If it's gun safety you won't, NRA offers numerous courses, the League of Women Voters, none. |

                      | You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible.  — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |  |  |
