So many people believe the nightly TV news hook line and sinker that it's hard to get them to believe any true facts at all, even when the numbers come from the FBI.

In short, the only the state is allowed to make gun laws and any politician or cop that tries to do differently will be fired, removed from office and sued civilly for damages. In the past, the gun laws that were applicable varied depending on where you were. In Palm Beach County, you could fire a shotgun in your backyard in one part of the county, but not the other. This law unifies the gun laws in FL. Some parts of the county did not honor the states CCW permit. Things like that.
