is that handguns can be easily concealed to be used to commit a crime.

And most gun crime and violence involves handguns.

So, there's that data point.

And, in case folks aren't paying attention, the mass killing of people is still a crime in the USA. That, no matter what the NRA says.

Well, to be accurate Voldemort and his complicit tealiban congress. They passed a law allowing purchases of semi-auto guns by 18-20 years old recently which facilitated this rampage. They, repugs and NRA, are the killers responsible for the deaths of our so many children and their teachers. Voldemort and the FL legislature are especially responsible and I hope Dems use this in ads against them. I hope Scott lives to rue the day and it costs him the Senate seat he wants.
