Apr. 7th, 2005 11:53 amI wonder if this is what the fall of the Roman Empire looked like from the inside.
tzikeh has two posts about this ... this thing that the Florida legislature and governor apparently want to make into a law.
And I sit here and look at it--"... a bill that would give residents the right to open fire against anyone they perceive as a threat in public ..."--and it's like my brain is the Buffybot, trying to walk forward and hitting that damn dumpster over and over and over again.
The people who think this law is a good idea are people who think they are never ever ever, even remotely possibly, EVER going to be the people on the wrong end of the gun. They're going to be the ones doing the shooting, thank you very much.
You know, cops in Florida must be calling in their prescriptions for anti-ulcer medication pre-emptively. Because dear sweet freaking Jesus, they are so going to need it.
