It's an image that pretty much sums up the way business is done in the Florida Legislature, where a picture is worth a thousand shrugs.
To no one's surprise, last week the Senate Higher Education Committee cavalierly approved a measure to permit the carrying of concealed weapons on the state's public university campuses. As back-room deals go, this fix was more preordained than the Black Sox scandal.

The "campus concerns" are based upon thin air, completely unsubstantiated.
Since there is no evidence whatsoever that the campuses that allow licensed carry have produced the projected imagined detrimental issues, there is no "compelling interest" to attenuate a natural right of the people.
And per the strict scrutiny rules that govern the attenuation of core rights, the opposition's arguments don't pass constitutional muster. |

TO REMEMBER |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
