This will not survive it's first court challenge as it clearly violates the first amendment.

This seems like a temporary solution at best. If they really want to get rid of gun shootings, they need to teach their citizens, from a young age, to co-exist and accept people with different cultures.

I love how America has free speech protected as its 1st amendment. Before anything else. Florida is trippin balls.

New Zealand has more or less de facto done this.

i can understand why-1 they might think that when its not publiced in media these Mass Shooting will not happend as much and 2-its not fun for the victims to see that stuf on internet,or knowing those videos go around on the internet.But its could backfire,when something becomes illegal people might want to do that just for the purpose that its illegal/or it will give those idiot a extra excitement.....maybe a better sollution,make it illegal to cary guns on the street for civilians........for a start

For the sake of discussion, let's say the guns are not allowed to be carried on the streets. But there is always some maniac that wants to go on a kill-streak. Now this maniac is in the public and has a gun; no one else has one if they wanted to defend themselves. How do we solve this?

i can understand your way of thinking,but i think that when its iligal for people to cary guns-and you can go to jail for it-most people think twices and more and more people will not take 1 with them,and the maniacs who do so are more easy to pick out for police,but also for civilians+when ever has bystander with a gun stopt a maniak who went on a killing-streak?i never heard of it....but maybe im wrong..........but the opportunity for some1 to grap a gun can be the reason for people getting killed,could be a child who graps it for curiosity or some person who dosnt has his emotions under controle.........i do know im happy to live in a country were its illigal to have guns

Practically, if someone is willing to actually kill people, you cannot stop them with a rule that says carrying guns in public is illegal. They will just hide the gun until they reach the crime spot.

i think this is a pointless discussion,just like religion,those who are support of guns will stick to their believes and those who dont believe in guns will stick to their oppinion/believes

Can the rest of the US just give Florida back to whoever we got it from?

how can they make it illegal if the shootings were psyops? Fort Lauderdale airport shooting is a perfect example of a drill.
