FSU Shooting Should Have Been Prevented, & Could Have Been Stopped :: 11/26/2014

Florida - -(Ammoland.com)- The tragedy at FSU should have been prevented, and could have been stopped as soon as it started.

While people were being shot at FSU, a combat veteran looked on in horror. Despite being “in position” to end the assault, and in spite of having the necessary skills and training to defend himself and his community had he been armed, as the first shots rang out he realized that he could do nothing.

Even as an Expert Marksman qualified Army Infantry Veteran, he was powerless to help due to Florida laws that require that he be disarmed on campus.

This is the result of the failed policy of creating “Gun Free Zones“, such as Florida campuses, where unstable attackers know that they can bring mayhem without fear of being immediately stopped. This must change.

The tragedy at FSU has once again showed, to horrible effect, that people must not be deprived of their right to an effective means of self-defense. This attack was also another tragic reminder that, far too often, people who are known to be disturbed are not being referred for mental health interventions that could save lives.

We resolve to do everything within our power to protect and expand the right of self-defense throughout Florida. College Campuses are no strangers to violent crime, Campus Carry is needed now.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and to the entire FSU community.
