In Common

Florida, unfortunately, had three mass shootings in a relatively short period of time.

The Pulse Nightclub shooting.

The Fort Lauderdale airport shooting.

Mary Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

It needs to be hammered home, hard, that these three places have something in common.

Two things, really.

First, they are gun free zones.  The common citizen is forbidden, by law, to have a firearm on the premises.

Second, law enforcement completely fucked up their response.  They are far more interested in their own skins than ours and made damn sure they were completely safe before they advanced on the situation.

In the case of the Pulse Nightclub, they might even have been the ones who shot some of the injured and deceased.

It's morally wrong to be forced to depend on the protection of a group who has no legal requirement to offer that protection and cannot be punished for failing to do so.

Let that sink in.

When you call 911, they don't have any obligation whatsoever to even pick up the phone, let alone send anyone.  The courts have ruled on this over and over.

Your only sensible recourse is to not go anyplace where you cannot provide your own security.
