Florida lawmakers
The Republican-led Florida legislature is now in its final week. A gun control drive is currently underway. The goal is for Republican legislators to be reelected who have received campaign contributions from the NRA and consistently voted against gun regulation legislation. Florida has been opposed long to gun-control measures. It currently holds a low number of concealed weapons permit. It also has strict laws concerning "stand Your Ground" and other issues which could lead to a gun murder. NRA has given the state's current gun laws an F grade. Florida's governor, however, is A-plus rated and most legislators get an A+minus or higher.

While March for Our Lives still hasn't reached its goal, students continue to speak up.

How to build a Deer Blind

Box blinds, also known as box stands, are the most popular type of deer blinds. They consist of a wooden container with a roof and walls. They are easy to construct and move.
A tree stand, another type deer blind, is also available. Tree stands are designed to look natural so that no one would suspect they were there. Tree stands are usually permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".
You can hunt with a blind deer hunting in many different ways. One way is to sit still and wait for the animal to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. If you choose this method, make sure you stay quiet and don't move too much. This could make the animal think you are a predator, and they may run away.
If you want to use a deer blind, you'll first need to find a suitable spot. You should pick a place where the wind won't blow your scent toward the animal. Avoid areas that are frequented by hikers.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
