Lightness and freedom? Florida has one of the highest gun violence rates in the US. They are #3. Florida also has one of the lowest gun ownership rates. They are #39.

Some people might believe that if it takes a 1,000 dead kids or 10,000 dead kids to destroy the 2nd Amendment it is worth it. You and I most certainly do not believe that but some might.

yet Florida has the highest rate of concealed carry permits in the country.....over 2mm

Florida already leads the United States in total number of currently valid permits, according to data from the Crime Prevention Research Center, a Virginia-based nonprofit that is pro-gun rights and studies gun ownership, crime and public safety. Texas has the second-highest number, at 1.36 million as of December, according to figures from that state’s Department of Public Safety.

No they don't. Look, again, at the 2021 stats.
And FYI, I'm a proud Virginian who owns multiple firearms.
