Durrell Peaden's Legacy

The word is getting out. Come to Florida. Bring your weapons. Be a madman. Shoot to kill.

It also creates jobs!
"According to the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Inc., there are already '6 to 7 million untrained gun owners in Florida.'
Telling them that they need only feel threatened in a park or a hospital or a stadium or a domestic dispute to start pulling the trigger is tantamount to turning Florida into Dodge City.

The prospect of the Wild West coming to Florida probably gladdens the heart of the National Rifle Association, which spawned the bill. But it should spread fear in the halls of other statehouses where the NRA plans to peddle similar legislation over the next year. The Florida law is the 'first step of a multi-state strategy,' NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said in an interview with the Post's Manuel Roig-Franzia, making it clear that the NRA believes it has a favorable political climate, especially in the South and the Midwest, in which to market its macho bill.

Weapons sellers couldn't be happier. More work for morticians, too. And more danger on the nation's streets."
And more work for doctors, like Durrell Peaden?

Idiot? Look who's talking! You can't even spell correctly. It's the right to "bear" arms, moron. "Bare arms" are naked. Go back to your cave, Anonymous.
