All the more reason for citizens to be armed and vigilant.
The police cannot protect you.
Agreed.
From an article about Florida CCW in 2012
Since the movie theatre shooting in Colorado earlier this month, just over seventy-nine hundred people have applied to purchase a gun in Florida. The numbers are about equal to the week before the shooting. But even before the shooting, Florida was on track to be the first state to have a million concealed weapons license holders.
As of June 30th in Florida, 952,415 people have a concealed weapons license. The state is expected to become the first with a million permits by the end of the year. The county with the highest concealed weapons license holders is Miami-Dade with 84,940.
Not just armed, but armed with the ability to disperse a violent crowd heading towards your house. Hence the requiremnt for a semi-automatice rifle with multiple standard-capacity (30 rd) mags.
(Or frighteningly know as: "assault weapons with high-capacity magazines" by the Libtards)
