Every week, there's an op-ed somewhere in the country that crosses my news feed where someone goes on about how their child is terrified that they'll get shot at school.

Today is the first anniversary of the FSU shooting, and some are using it to talk about how Florida should have passed gun control, like they did after Parkland. Never mind that the Parkland measures didn't stop the FSU shooting from happening, but they still want gun control.
