By your post I assume your solution to crime is to have every citizen armed. And you posted- "Florida's homicide rate fell from 36% above the national average to 4% below after CCW enactment and remains below the national average (as of the 2005 reporting period)." And my post was to prove that's just a false sense of security.
Personally, Iâm good with every citizen being armed â with the following caveats;
Citizens who wish to opt out can
Citizens who choose to arm themselves;
1.) Must obtain a CCW
2.) For every make of gun they own â must get an endorsement which includes training on how to use that make of weaponâ¦, and a shooting certification demonstrating that they can actually use that weapon
Note; Makes of gun = shot gun pump/ semi auto .., revolverâ¦, semi auto pistolâ¦, bolt action rifle⦠semi auto rifle⦠and a classification to include any make not listed above

The gun manufactures love mass killings, nothing sells more guns.
This is such an incredibly stupid fucking remark
No reasonable human would even suggest something along these lines
===============================
On a different note
Lot of misinformation about the differences between an M16â¦, M16A1 / A2/ A3â¦, AR 15⦠M4⦠M4A1
Granted the platform is essentially the same, but the sear is different⦠and illegal to own by every day citizens
Also the minimum allowed barrel length is different â the shorter being for police/ military use only
=========================
Why do I want to own a semi auto â because the criminals have them⦠and I damn sure want a level playing should a situation ever ariseâ¦
And all the laws in the world will not stop a criminal from acquiring a semi auto rifle â or any other weapon for that matter - if he/ she desires
Also please donât be stupid enough to suggest that if banned â the criminals will stop using them
Furthermore it also wouldn't surprise me if civil unrest is in our future at some point â so be it
=======================
Here is a rhetorical question
Which is more dangerous/ lethal â a butter knife⦠or a hand held nuclear weapon (or semi auto rifle as the case may be)
btw; If you donât know the answerâ¦,
and clearly understand whyâ¦. then you are part of the problem
Oh and hereâs a hint â it ainât the nuclear weapon or rifle
