How are the two things related?

Amazing that Newsweek would have an article ready within a few hours of a shooting that has yet to be investigated.

Your headline should read 'in response to 10 people injured.' Ending carry laws was what saved FL in the 80s. Society gets polite quickly when the grannies have a pistol in their handbags
