Oh no, the Wild Wild West is coming back . It seems that criminals have a constitution right to safety when breaking into your house. The highlight of the debate was after (gun control) ARTHUR HAYHOE asks for it : 'Give us an example of people being arrested for protecting themselves' as if Marion did not have many.

[ClearCase_guy]

Is it me, or is that incoherent?

[BROKKANIC]

That's why they make double-action triggers.

‘You're going to create a lot of innocent victims’

That's odd... I'm certain that the criminals are creating lots of innocent victims! Some of them would like the opportunity to defend themselves!

This bill is literally a jihad against public safety.

In the world according to this illiterate, the bill sponsor stormed the floor of the Florida legislature screaming, "Destroy the infidel public safety! Allah wills it!!"

[mainepatsfan]

So I guess if a gunman goes on a rampage this person would rather get blown away than see another citizen take the gunman out?

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

Arthur Hayhoe, executive director of the Florida Coalition to Stop Gun Violence

Ole Arthur might as well pin a $100 bill to his a$$ and scream; "Victim here! Victim here"

Geesh!

[boofus]

That hypocrite admitted he possesses a Florida concealed handgun license. Guns for me, but not for thee serf.

[snowsislander]

What you are doing here is empowering gun owners to act.

That's right: we want criminals to be afraid of breaking into folks' homes. Ms. Marion Hammer has done another fine job of shepherding this bill through.

Onwards and upwards: Now it's time for Florida to start working on Vermont/Alaska carry. Having been a leader with CCW and Gun Owner Empowerment, now it's time to see Florida show more leadership in the fight for our right to keep and bear arms.

"You're going to create a lot of innocent victims"

This is funny as hell - because these words are exactly the marching orders of the libs and demonrats when creating/administering government programs..to them, it's a "good thing"

Caveat Emptor.

[Spok]

I love to watch Amy Goodman on FSTV. It's funny and abslutely stunning that anyone with more than a hockey score IQ could take these people seriously. You really can't comment with authority on how screwed up the American left is until you see FSTV-they're much farther out there than most conservatives realize. The 'documentaries' are so poorly scripted, researched and photographed that they're entertaining. It's a train wreck.

[litehaus]

"Arthur Hayhoe"...A.Hayhoe....Bad spelling/hard of hearing?...LOL..

[Yo-Yo]

What's going to happen in cars? Now, a car is your castle. Does everyone approach your car going to be a criminal?

The Loony Left has been waiting for road rage shootouts to occur in shall issue states, and it just plain hasn't happened. But they can still hope...

[PeterFinn]

"You're going to create a lot of innocent victims"

Typical liberal thinking that criminals are innocent and that law-abiding people who defend themselves from predation are criminals.

Someone PLEASE kidnap this arrogant son of a bitch and drop him off, unarmed, in Compton, Liberty City, Harlem, Detroit, or Washington, D.C. and let him experience first-hand why unarmed people in these areas get a special name from the police:

VICTIMS.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Who might be in your house besides the EMS, police officer, my nephew that has the key to my house?

---

As long as these folks knock politely, and don't smash down doors or break windows to break in, they'll be quite safe.

[Navy Patriot]

Gee, this makes the ordinary citizen like cops, politicians, or judges: "if I feel threatened, I can pull the trigger".

Equality, what a novel idea!

[Clock King]

Hate speech, plain and simple. He called gun owners paranoid socio-paths.

[roaddog727]

The wild wild west makes for either polite people or dead people.

Very definitive and very binary.

Works for me.

This Should be a US wide policy.

[PAR35]

Who might be in your house besides ... my nephew ...

If his nephew is in my house in the middle of the night without an invitation, he may well be injured. Perhaps he ought to stick to honest labor.

[dhs12345]

Wonder if this guy is concerned for his burglar friends. Maybe he is concerned that, while robbing someone, they might have a gun and shoot him. Maybe that is his real motivation for saying this.
