Guns on campus

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and his colleagues are trying to pass a bill allowing students to carry guns on campus.

I have three grandchildren living in Florida, and if this law is passed, I am certain that their parents will not permit them to attend a Florida university. Are these legislators fools? Would this not have an adverse effect on Florida’s economy?

Don’t they realize that there will be many more parents who think the same way?
