The PSH on this one is bound to fly everywhere
It is probably not much of a stretch to suggest that if the National Rifle Association's Marion Hammer, the Lady Macbeth of Tallahassee, wanted the Florida Legislature to require every citizen to own a gun, it wouldn't be long before nuns would be forced to pack Tech-9s along with their rosary beads. … What fun it will be to peruse the broccoli at Publix standing next to a yahoo with a Rambo complex. … One of Hammer's arguments for turning the state into Deadwood… More visible weapons would provoke more crimes of opportunity… More people running around exposing their weapons would be intimidating to others and endanger tourism… More accessible guns would make it easier for children to get their hands on them… What if officers arrive at a crime scene and discover a bunch of folks with guns? Which ones are the bad guys? Which ones are just people pretending to be macho?

What fun it will be to peruse the broccoli at Publix standing next to a yahoo with a Rambo complex.
One of Hammer's arguments for turning the state into Deadwood…
More visible weapons would provoke more crimes of opportunity…
More people running around exposing their weapons would be intimidating to others and endanger tourism…
More accessible guns would make it easier for children to get their hands on them…
What if officers arrive at a crime scene and discover a bunch of folks with guns? Which ones are the bad guys? Which ones are just people pretending to be macho?
The funniest thing about all those lines? Baby Daniel Ruth complains about this
Law and order sells. Crime sells. And fear never goes out of fashion.
Of course it doesn’t, Danny boy. That’s why you have a job, to pen uneducated screeds full of fear and blood-in-the-streets predictions that have never come true. If you told the truth, it’d be boring and devoid of scare tactics. But I guess selling fear is ok when you’re pushing to violate people’s rights.
