The editorial board at the Gainesville Sun published a piece Thursday condemning continued proposals that would see guns on college campuses in Florida.
“Just as First Amendment rights don’t allow someone to yell fire in a crowded theater, the Second Amendment doesn’t allow for a limitless right to carry a firearm anywhere,” wrote Gainesville Sun opinion editor Nathan Crabbe, speaking for the editorial board. “Even campus-carry proponents concede this point, given that (Senate Judiciary Chairman Greg) Steube’s proposal would retain bans on carrying guns into police stations, jails, courtrooms, polling places and most bars.” |

| Campuses and police stations should not be exceptions to an individuals' rights. Folks will soon get comfortable with a significant part of the populace carrying a sidearm and everyone will be the safer. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
