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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
