Florida’s gun laws are too loose. You can’t buy a handgun until you’re 21, but you can buy an AR-15 at 18. We need some sensible national training requirements, sensible national age restrictions, sensible centralized databases, but we also need the Feds to do their fucking job.

Young people will bring this change. Old farts will die off unchanged.

There is no perfect solution, though. Stigmatizing the mentally ill or turning this into a police state against mental illness won’t help. A mental illness witch hunt won’t help. Being required to report every trip to a psychiatric or psychological physician to a government database isn’t freedom.

Yes, the FBI fucked this up. But we don’t want to be living in a surveillance state, either.

We ARE, however, living in a day when the FBI should be actively surveilling ALL social media and tracing all accounts. Children are being sold via sex trafficking through Facebook and Instagram. Guns are sold illegally via Facebook.
