So many of our kids go to Florida for national competitions. How do we encourage those organizations to change the location of their events. I don’t want my kid going to the Wild West to compete in a tournament.

I encourage you to visit a therapist. It might also help if you never leave your house -- DC has much higher crime rates than Florida.

I don’t, and I live in Virginia. Carrying in VA requires a permit. Unlike FL (brand new) or TX, or several other states.

So statistically you are safer from firearms in CA vs FL.

For comparison, DC jumps to the top in the country (together with AL, LA, MS, and MO)

Lowest for homicide: All of New England, HI, and ID.

get outta here with your FACTS

I mean, when it comes down to it, the differences between the states are pretty meaningless.

Apparently we have decided as a society that gun manufacturer profits are more important that kids.
