That's up in Tallahassee, so not local to me at all.
But just to get my version of blood dancing out there...
Guns are banned from any and every Florida school from kindergarten all the way to college and university campuses.
Gun free victim zone strikes again. Update: Literally again! This is the third or fourth active shooter at FSU since we started lobbying for campus carry!
For decades we've been demanding campus carry only to have the Florida Sheriff's Association order the Florida senate leadership to do nothing. Stab the "marion" tag to see other times it's been killed.
But this time we have a study that found that us common citizens are far better than the cops at stopping this kind of shit...
And no common citizen is armed. Because common citizens obey the law and don't carry into gun free victim zones.
So, I says the blood is on the Florida Sheriff's Association and the Florida Republican party's position that the Florida Senate consider no bills allowing citizens to be armed on campus.
Texas passed a Campus Carry bill in 2016. It still has some exceptions, but far less restrictive than what you are talking about. Although University of Texas is known for being the site of one of the first major campus shootings (1966), it hasn't been a frequent occurance since then. In fact, googling it turns up very few results. And nothing after 2016. No "blood in the streets" or "wild west". K-12 schools are still "designated victim areas" where lawful carry is prohibited. There have been a few school shootings, most notably in Uvalde a few years ago. Seems like those "sensible gun control laws" maybe aren't all that sensible.

In grade school, I listened attentively as Mayan, Aztec, and Trans-Jordanian civilizations' ruling class were ridiculed because they practiced child sacrifice.
