Florida Legislature Was Set to Consider Bill Allowing Guns in Airports Next Week
In a sad but ironic twist of fate, the Friday mass shooting at the Fort Lauderdale -Hollywood International Airport comes one week before Florida legislators planned to debate a new bill allow the carrying of firearms in airports.

I know this is insensitive but........ looks like that bill is dead on arrival.

It makes no sense to allow them outside the doors and not inside, but yeah that's DOA

At this point it is counter intuitive in light of what happened, to not let ccw permit holders carry, cause....what if this happens again? It's an unfortunate knee jerk reaction to assume or at least make decisions based on the notion that this is what happens when you allow guns. That this crime was committed by a normal law abiding citizen, when in fact it was a criminal bent on doing as much harm as possible. When oh when will they ever look at something like this and realize, "you know, our gun free zone policy is getting people killed. Maybe it's time we start trusting the people we trust to give ccw permits to carry everywhere? Otherwise, why are we granting people permits to carry at all?"

I agree 100%.

Well then this incident just does the ole can of worms theory on the situation. There's gonna be the whining "to many guns look what guns did"...and...there's gonna be the "we told you if guns were legal to carry in airports a good armed citizen would have possibly stopped the perp"..ya know..the age old argument..
