Florida has experienced the tremendous loss associated with the Parkland shooting which is now among the 10 deadliest mass shootings in America<\/a>. It is time for us to come together and implement change so these mass shootings stop.<\/p>\n

Many people are coming up with ideas. I have been encouraged by the Governor’s recommendation to restrict the age at individual can buy<\/a>\u00a0AR rifles to 21 although 25 would be better. \u00a0I like the idea of banning AR rifles altogether, but what do we do with the ones that exist?<\/p>\n

I like the idea of better background checks and stopping the availability of AR rifles to those with mental illness. We need to be able to stop an evil person who has an AR rifle and starts threatening people before he acts. \u00a0We should be able to arrest and incarcerate them at that point and confiscate the AR rifle(s). \u00a0We want to allow police to proactively arrest an evil person seeking to kill one or more with his AR rifle before he strikes.<\/div>\n

\"DSC00817-1-291x300\"I want to share an important lesson I learned when I was a young law student. I defended a minor who was charged with the burglary of a home. I was successful in defending the case and winning the trial for him. As a result of that he was released from juvenile court jail and I went on my Christmas vacation. When I returned, I learned he went out before Christmas and killed two people at random coming out of the shopping mall. \u00a0That was a true wake up call for me and I realized it would not be my calling to go into criminal defense. It made me realize that an evil person will always do evil even when given a second chance, put in a loving home or given help. \u00a0They will look at you, do evil and say, “You knew I was evil when you tried to help me.”<\/p>\n

I see that when there is a tragedy such as a mass shooting there is focus on why the person did it. \u00a0Was he not schooled properly, not given enough help and so on? It may be interesting to look back but inevitably the person was evil and would commit an atrocious act in the future.<\/div>\n
People might say, \u201cHe was a ticking time bomb,\u201d \u00a0 \u201cI knew he would shoot up the school someday.\u201d He had a screw loose.\u201d Ok let\u2019s say all those things were known to be true.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Law enforcement can do nothing. Why? \u00a0They can\u2019t arrest people on possibilities, on crazy likelihoods or suspicions unless the person has put his plan into words written or spoken. \u00a0Remember the Las Vegas shooter never exposed his plan. \u00a0So what we need to do is give law enforcement the ability to prevent these tragedies from continuing to occur.<\/div>\n
That is why I put my idea out as The Simple Solution. Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
