[Nfbf-l] Stand your ground and s2188

[Toni King]

Hello,
I have to agree with Jody. I am a gun owner have been since I was 12 
yrs old. My mom taught me how to use a gun and how to do so with 
respect for the weapon, myself and others.   i am now visually impaired 
but still go to the gun range with my brother and other family members.
Many things kill people just as Jody pointed out.  This is America and 
we have the rights to own guns.

i support laws that protect people as long as that law does not take 
away my rights. I am a born Floridian and hate what happened to that 
young man and want those responsible to pay.

Just my two cents worth.
Toni
