Florida's Moment On Guns

MIAMI — In America’s national debate over guns, Florida is having a moment.

From the grieving students swarming Tallahassee Wednesday to the public grilling of Sen. Marco Rubio at a CNN forum Wednesday night, Florida — long a proving ground for national gun policy — is again at the center of the storm in the wake of last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in suburban Fort Lauderdale.

And with President Donald Trump proposing to arm teachers and raise the age limit to buy military-style rifles, those ideas will be put to the test in Florida — in the state legislature and on the campaign trail.

The GOP-led Florida legislature began to acknowledge Wednesday that it’s close to doing what was once unthinkable: consider gun control in an election year.

“Am I surprised? Yeah,” said Republican state Rep. Jamie Grant. “But the world is watching for us to act and we have to.”

Why would we give a damn about the world’s opinion when our nation’s existence was based on the fact the rest of the world’s governments sucked so much, we needed a new and unique one?
