"The world will be fighting coronavirus for the next three to four years as virus hot spots skip from nation to nation, and the pandemic's toll will linger for decades, said Dr. Larry Brilliant, a California epidemiologist who was part of a World Health Organization team in the 1970s that helped eradicate smallpox."

So we just saw a 72 year old attorney loose it by trying to hunt down a judge. He failed but he probably did more damage to the judge by killing her son and injuring her husband. So between the virus, loss of work, housing, family stress, etc..the Geniuses of the Brevard County Commissioners will give someone as young as 18 the legal right to carry around a loaded gun. A stressed out immature 18 year old in a hot as hell environment like Florida in the summer. Why do I see disaster.
How much is he being paid by the NRA??
Good God. Help us.

Something they think will get them votes in coming election, and a posturing point against contenders. Isnardi and Tobia have opponents.They are banking on their belief that the majority of our local population is big-time gun nuts. I think they may be wrong. Voters, including the many who have concealed permits, may not agree with this unnecessary extension for age or for open carry.
Why on EARTH would they lower the purchase age to teen level? How do they justify this?
Will they be allowed in their county commission meetings?
How about Samurai Sword????
This is great. Give people more opportunities to murder each other.
Very bad idea. People are virtually on their last nerve. Why give them the chance to vent their spleen with a weapon. Who in his right mind thinks that would benefit our community?
But no to masks??? Seriously?
What ridiculousness to double down on gun violence. Presumably they mean only for white people, right? None of those "violent anarchist" types, right? (Read: total sarcasm) I mean, could there BE a louder dog whistle??
