This design originally started during my visit to Florida in February 2016. I was inspired by the large number of gun stores and ranges that I would pass in my travels, and the resulting news stories I would see at night involving firearms due to Florida's gun laws. I was nearing completion of the design just a week prior to the Orlando shootings just 4 months later on June 12, 2016. Struck by the sheer coincidence of hearing the news of the attack, I decided to finish the design up that morning.
