Acording to the antis themselves, FL rates a D- for gun control as of 2012.
Hopefully that score will continue to plummet. The gun death rates are likely totals instead of per capita and likely include suicides as such things tend to display results favorable to their cause. According to G&A for 2014 FL just made the top ten states for gun owners: http://www.gunsandammo.com/network-topics/culture-politics-network/best-states-for-gun-owners-2014/ This is old news but I came across it this morn. |

Sweet, but we still have some work to do since we are oh-so-close to that coveted F. Maybe campus carry and/or OC will push us to the top (or bottom if you're an anti).

Man I hope campus carry passes so we can get our F.
I wonder how they twisted and tortured the stats to get those "gun death rates". Maybe they only included deaths of felons while in commission of a crime? |

The gun deaths are including lawful shoots, suicides and accidents. Not just murders. Can't even get their propaganda right.

The state of Maine gets an "F" but it's in the "top ten of lowest gun deaths" category.

I noticed that no state gets an "A" or "A+". I guess that means there's never enough gun control even in NY, CA, MA, MD,IL, etc......

What I like is how the map appears to show no correlation between gun control and gun deaths.

The Tourist and Development lobbies don't want open carry and they own the politicians in Tallahassee of both parties. That is why it didn't get passed a couple of years ago. |

With "Constitutional Carry" gaining traction and open carry being the norm in most states, I'm hopeful that it'll just be a matter of time.
It would seem that S Florida would be the impedance to the above. N FL has southern virtues for the most part. The touristy attractions in FL can impose their own damn rules on their property, so their concerns should have no bearing. This map on Wikipedia is pretty cool: 
Our numbers grow as the assault on our rights continues. |
