In recent months, acts of terrorism and mass shootings have become more and more prevalent in the world. In Brevard County, Florida, Sheriff Wayne Ivey has encouraged all citizens in Florida to become aware and armed with guns and self defense. As he posted on facebook, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun." As his facebook post has been view more than 4 million times. As this post circulates it begs the question of gun control and the authority of law enforcement. It is important to know that Florida's market in gun sales has increased in the past year, so obviously many citizens do believe in gun carry.

ReplyDeleteI feel as though the topic of gun control has been abused and worn out. I honestly don't know what to think about this anymore, citizens shouldn't have to feel like they must protect themselves.
There is so many sides to gun control and the right to bear arms. It just seems as though, with guns, these people just fight fire with fire which can possible end up worse.
