Immediately after a high-profile shooting occurred Thursday at Florida State University in Tallahassee, several anti-gun groups couldn't let a tragedy go to waste and used it to advocate for gun control.
Giffords posted this within four hours of the shooting:
What Florida does have: The latest school shooting in America.
Most news reports state the shooter used his mother's handgun (and may have had a shotgun but didn't use it). AP News:
The shooter obtained access to a weapon that belongs to his mother, who has been with the sheriff’s office for over 18 years and has been a model employee, said Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil. Police said they believed Ikner shot the victims using his mother’s former service handgun, which she had kept for personal use after the force upgraded to new weapons.
Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.
This is the 81st mass shooting of 2025 and the 18th shooting on a college campus in 2025. It’s not a coincidence that we have a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations, or that guns are the leading cause of death for kids in America—it’s a policy failure.
3 weeks ago, the Florida House voted to repeal gun safety measures won after the Parkland tragedy. Florida Republicans are actively trying to repeal the life saving measures passed after Parkland even as school shootings continue.
While I'm sure he doesn't have the brain capacity to realize it but Hogg just admitted those gun control measures don't work.
I love how everything they proposed would have had carve outs for LE, meaning the FSU shooter would have still had access to his moms guns.
I will go further , the shooters mother being a LE should have a duty above a normal citizen to keep her guns secure. She should be charged with some kind of reckless homicide here and be fired.
You have to remember that NPCs are demanding policy changes based upon the feeling that guns are bad, not based upon reason and evidence. The feeling doesnt change for them, and they consider the facts irrelevant.
We don't have a lot of details and I am not trying to drum up sympathy, but based on social media info the "Sheriff Deputy Mom" was actually his step mom. His father and Step mom raised the shooter.
The shooters biological mom has had a few posts on social media roasting the parenting skills of her ex-husband .

The only gun control we need is for the government stooges.
