We start with good news for anyone who might commit a murder in Florida: The Legislature is advancing a bill that could help you get away with it!
Now, that might seem like a bad idea to most people. It does to prosecutors and victims' advocates.
But when prosecutors such as Seminole County State Attorney Phil Archer objected to the NRA-backed proposal to make convictions tougher, NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer responded by calling them "anti-gun." |

| That law is there to provide protections for law abiding people, not criminals! Read: you are innocent UNTIL proven guilty, what in that statement do you NOT understand????! |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
