Supreme Court of Florida December 17, 1998, No. 90,361 (J.L. v. State)

HARDING, C.J.,

concurring.

I concur with the majority. I write to emphasize that the solution to this country’s firearm epidemic cannot come at the expense of the principles set forth in the federal Constitution. I am aware that our streets and school grounds5 have become venues of *210public violence, resulting in large part to the availability and accessibility of firearms.
