Glad they got him.
Maybe rock star Ronnie will get around to finding out how a goober with 10 felony warrants got a gun so easily.
When he’s done concurring Disney, the woke mob and CRT, that is.
Cause that’s what the “Freedumb!” Crowd really cares about, not stopping gun violence before it happens.

Guns, drugs, outstanding warrants, mass shootings. Florida sure sounds dangerous. No wonder people are leaving for blue states.

Florida's high gun homicide rate has nothing to do with lax gun restrictions, and everything to do with woke indoctrination, CRT, antifa, and illegal immigrants. But Wock Star Won is on the case! He'll show them libs!

Gun homicides in Florida are high.
In an average year, 2,849 people
die and 5,267 are wounded by
guns in Florida. Florida has the
19th-highest rate of gun violence
in the US.

Go grab the stats of your 3 favorite states: California, Illinois and New York.

California has the seventh lowest rate of death by firearms in the US. New York state is, I believe, no 3 or 4.
Desert Tortoise
I meant to say New York is no 3 or 4 lowest rate of death by firearms

Racism, political division, neo-fascism, gun violence, drugs epidemic, homelessness, police brutality, increase in suicides, increase in homelessness, criminal health system...
And worst of all, you need a car, yes or yes, every time you run out of milk and eggs, pathetic...
Thank God I don't and I will never live in that failed lost country..

Here are the statistics for the US. California is seventh lowest at 8.5 deaths by firearm per 100,000 residents, New York is fifth lowest at 5.3 per 100,000. Florida is 22 at 13.7 deaths by firearm per 100,000 residents. Illinois is worse at 14.1. Arizona, right next door to California and an open carry state has 16.7 deaths per 100,000 residents, twice the rate of California. Nevada is worse still at 17. Oregon, at 13 per 100,000, is nothing to brag about either. Mississippi has the most deaths by firearms, 28.6 per 100,000. Hawaii is the lowest at 3.4 and Massachusetts is no 2 at 3.7. Oh those nasty liberal states and their low rates of death by firearm.

What makes you think you would be allowed in??

With some of the strictest gun laws in the country, the fourth lowest gun ownership rate and, interestingly, no borders with less restrictive states.
Alaska also has no borders with other US states. Its gun laws are much less restrictive than Hawaii, it has a much higher rate of gun ownership, and much higher rates of gun violence. Must be something in the water up there.

Florida they prosecute criminals, not a good state to be in if you’re caught.
Yes.

Mass shooting in the US has become a daily occurrence. How did such sad violent and tragic events become the norm and ingrained without making sensible gun laws?
wallace
Florida how wants to remove permits for concealed carry weapons.
plasticmonkey
Doesn’t seem that it’s helping to reduce mass shootings.
plasticmonkey
lol
Bob Fosse
Explain this situation. Alex Greene was a criminal, in Florida, who committed a mass shooting, had drugs, illegal guns and 10 felonies under his belt.
Were the Florida cops ‘hands tied’ by liberal policies?
Desert Tortoise
Must have been all those defunded Florida police forces :) Right?
