As a member of the family community in Fort Walton Beach, the sudden surge of violence is quite alarming.
It seems that almost every other week there is news of another shooting resulting in homicide. This has brought to my attention how severely we need more extensive gun control. One specific flaw that needs to be fixed is the gun show loophole. Billboards in town have advertised what seems to be the third gun show in the area this year. With private sellers making sales to individuals without any background checks, it seems that virtually anyone who looks like a normal, good-hearted individual can obtain a firearm. |

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 |
