“Campus Carry? What does that mean?” I asked when a Florida Coalition to Keep Guns Off Campus board member first contacted me last year.
Being an international student from the UK, I wasn’t well versed with what was happening in the Florida Legislature. So I delved into the topic on Google, finding as much information as I could on the subject. To say I was shocked at the possibility of allowing people who have concealed carry permits to bring their firearms on to campus is an understatement. But campus carry bills HB 4001 and it’s companion bill, SB 68, sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube, are gaining ground. The NRA, Students for Concealed Carry and other gun lobbyists are pushing hard for it to pass. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
