When the second Amendment was written -no one would have imagined this:
When “the boys with their toys” are replaced in the Florida Legislature with nurturing -loving Women -children will feel safe in school. No more active shooter’s drill that do nothing to save a life from a rapid firing spray of bullets where there are no survivors. The boys with their toys have the same brain that does not fully mature until age 24. That undeveloped brain allows the shooter to cross over the threshold of that classroom as they cradle that piece of metal in their arms loving it more than the flesh and blood of a defenseless innocent child who will die because of loveless adults allowing this to happen!
Because a body of men, holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody.”
This quote is from Thomas Paine, an American founding father and political activist.
Human Rights will be the battlecry in America when the majority of Legislators are Women!
85 percent of Republicans in Congress are White Males.
In other words, White Males are the group who make decisions for tens of millions of Women and Minorities and children.
Of the 276 Republicans serving in Congress or State Governors, only 24 are Women. Only 14 are non-white

(One can be sure if any Florida politician had lost a child in this State in any of the school shootings-the gun laws would definitely be different than today’s laws)
The Washington Post reported on studies that catalogue the sex and age of mass shooters. The killers are almost entirely male, and a large percentage are under 21. This leads the author of the study to propose raising the minimum age for buying a weapon to 21. Curiously, there is already a federal law banning the sale of handguns to anyone under 21, but no law banning the sale of long guns for that age. So the killer in Texas could legally buy two AR15s on his 18th birthday, but was not able to buy a handgun.
When Vanderbilt University psychiatrist Jonathan Metzl learned that the perpetrator of the Uvalde, Tex., school massacre was a young man barely out of adolescence, it was hard not to think about the peculiarities of the maturing male brain.
Salvador Rolando Ramos had just turned 18, eerily close in age to Nikolas Cruz, who had been 19 when he shot up a school in Parkland, Fla. And to Adam Lanza, 20, when he did the same in Newtown, Conn. To Seung-Hui Cho, 23, at Virginia Tech. And to Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, in Columbine, Colo.
Teen and young adult males have long stood out from other subgroups for their impulsive behavior. They are far more reckless and prone to violence than their counterparts in other age groups, and their leading causes of death include fights, accidents, driving too fast, or, as Metzl put it, “other impulsive kinds of acts.”
“There’s a lot of research about how their brains are not fully developed in terms of regulation,” he said. Perhaps most significant studies show the prefrontal cortex, which is critical to understanding the consequences of one’s actions and controlling impulses, does not fully develop until about age 25. In that context, Metzl said, a shooting “certainly feels like another kind of performance of young masculinity.” https://dianeravitch.net/2022/06/14/raise-the-minimum-age-for-buying-guns-to-21/
