it is supposedly there to deter crime - yet doesn't. In California, Florida, Texas, etc.... bloody murder still goes on. Gun free zone or not.

That's my point regarding the death penalty. My other point being that it's easy as f*** to legally get guns in Florida like this guy. Probably in California too. Especially if you're a security guard.
