    The Senate has approved a defense budget that would also require women to register for the draft. The new rules would apply to any woman who turns 18 on or after January 1, 2018.

    About damned time.

    Nationwide, last year there was just as many fatalities from traffic accidents involving drunk driver(s) as there were homicides by firearms. Outside of magazines, specialty cable networks like Outdoor Channel, and the occasional sporting goods store inserts in the newspaper, I don't see any ads for firearms. Alcohol? Everywhere. Grocery stores, gas stations, billboards, radio commercials, television commercials. Hell, half the people depicted in the television show drink.

    On the other hand, I read a lot of comments of people saying they have guns and if the bad guys come, pew-pew, no more bad guys. Where were all those people? Is that mentality not popular in Florida? 

    No trying to stir shit, just thinking out loud. 

    Really, it depends. Each state has their own gun laws. Each county/parish within a state can have their own gun laws. Cities/towns/villages within a county/parish can have their own laws.

    The only common denominator in any of these mass shootings are that crazy people were involved. When you look at national crime numbers, in fact, they are statistical outliers. The overwhelming majority of homicides committed are done with handguns, not so-called "assault weapons", and there is usually only one or two fatalities.

    It was a gun free zone. Though, at least in Texas, you are not supposed to carry if you are drinking.

     

    In the state of Texas you are allowed to carry while drinking; you are not allowed to carry while intoxicated. However, it is illegal to have any firearm in an establishment which derive 51% of the their profits from the sale of alcohol, e.g, bars and nightclubs.
