3. Today 02/22/2018 I surrendered my guns

No child shall ever die by a weapon of war or handgun. My son has been adjudicated mentally ill. He was arrested last year July 2017. Before his arrest, he had placed $320.00 on a purchase of a handgun at a local pawn shop in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He came home and told me so. I calmly spoke with him and advised him that was not a good decision. The next day he returned to the pawn shop and rescinded the purchase. I respect the second amendment and I had a FL CCW. The AR-15 is a weapon of war. Any handgun in the hands of an questionable person will kill a child. How can one determine if the person purchasing the gun has an intent of harming someone else. My choice ban all weapons of war and high capacity magazines. The second amendment will live on. However I have a choice to not be a part of the industrial gun manufacturing industry and no organization should have the power to continue to manufacture weapons of war, sell them to the general public, and make a dollar. I surrendered my FL CCW.
