Well I’ve lived in Tampa for 68 years so I have some idea about what gun rights we have enjoyed (and lost) over the years. I used to ride my motorcycle around town with my buddies with rifles slung on our backs when I was 14. I bought an M-1 carbine when I was 15 for $20. I also had to wait until I was 21 to vote and purchase alcohol. There were no age limits on purchase of firearms until the Federal GCA of 1968. It is a shame that as the population of this state has grown that the infringement of that freedom has steadily diminished over time. I know the difference between freedom (having lived it) and the illusion of freedom. Only a free people own guns.
Yeh me too. Growing up in Jax with the rest of my relatives in Tampa all the guys had guns in their gun racks in their trucks. The school parking lot was full of them. You could go out anywhere in the woods and target shoot. Not one person I ever knew got shot.
