"I have usually been, and according to some in my political party, have always been, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Just two years ago, the NRA itself acknowledged my role as a prime sponsor of Florida's “Stand Your Ground” law, a victim's rights bill I still support."
"My father gave me my first gun, a .410 shotgun, when I was 11 and at my farewell party as state attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit, my staff gave me a Glock 9 as a parting gift."

| Obviously Mr Smith is a "nanny". He believes young americans already empowered to vote, serve in military service (where they'll be trained/entrusted with various deadly arts and devices), and sign contracts aren't to be entrusted with a firearm in a civilian setting. He also conveniently ignores most states' CCW minimum age is 21. Mr. Smith wants every college campus a "gun free zone" or, more accurately, a "soft target of opportunity " for criminals, domestic and foreign terrorists. IOW he demands we send our children into an arena populated with carnivorous beasts furnished by our government. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
