What I've learned since the shootings at Margery Stillman Douglas High School. I learned that Florida has the weakest gun control laws in the country. Florida is rabidly pro NRA. Yikes ! I just read this article on Politico:
“There is no shame in the Florida Legislature,” Shaw wrote. “Even in the
midst of tragedy, they found time today to punish Delta for standing up
to the @NRA. Their hypocrisy and contempt for the citizens & employers of our state knows no bounds. #NeverAgain” Read it here:
Florida lawmakers punish NRA’s corporate foes.
I saw the students from Stillman Douglas High School sitting in the gallery at the Florida State House when their legislators voted NO on gun control. They yelled SHAME SHAME SHAME at those lawmakers/recipients of NRA campaign contributions who only care about their jobs not the lives of the kids in Florida !
I am going to buy something at Dicks Sporting Goods and support all those companies who have gone against the NRA. They are brave.
UPDATE
Fred Guttenberg lost his daughter to the Florida shooter. He was interviewed by MSNBC speaking out on the above and the shameful lack of the Florida legislature to ACT other than to support the NRA. I repeat, I hope those kids start a Revolution and vote them all OUT. The NRA spent over $54 million dollars in the 2016 election. Our elected officials are bought by the NRA! Horrifying ! Sadly the Parkland high school kids/survivors have to change it - no small feat - I hope they keep up the activism. They will need a lot of support.
The NRA exists to support the GUN INDUSTRY. I will look up how many millions or billions of dollars in assets the Gun Industry made last year. So the bottom line is MONEY is more important than the lives of high school kids or anybody else - Sandy Hook, Columbine, Pulse nightclub, etc., etc. Which way will the country go ? $$$$$$$$
