"The Gunshine State" - Florida's Preposterous Gun Laws

Click here for an article at The Washington Post by Catherine Rampell, entitled "Is anywhere in Florida truly safe?"

It's about Florida's ridiculously lenient gun laws, starting with the "Stand Your Ground" law, "the 2005 NRA-backed gun law that said a person who feels threatened has no duty to retreat before engaging in deadly force, even outside the home. The law likely contributed to the exoneration of the man who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and has been linked to an increase in homicides."

There are several more examples: Florida has some truly terrible gun laws.
