The Wednesday Your Turn column on the editorial page enumerated several “common sense” recommendations to lower gun violence in Florida. While I agree with many of them, I must disagree with two.
As is the usual case with those who wish to restrict gun rights, limiting freedoms is couched in phrases like “dangerous and ineffective Stand Your Ground Law.” This law is important to provide protection to those who are faced with the threat of imminent death or great bodily harm, in my opinion.
Also, they did not recommend arming teachers, citing “no evidence that arming teachers makes kids safer.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
