Should we all own guns?

As of Wednesday, Florida has issued more than 1 million concealed weapons permits. In light of the Newtown, Conn., shooting, civilian access to guns is getting heightened attention as well as tightening legislation to curb gun violence. Student safety and security efforts are also being addressed at South Florida schools.
