Do any of these asshats have a clue as to what an "assault weapon" is?
How long before butterknive’s are classified as “assault weapons”?
If the weapon is not designed to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull, IT IS NOT AN “Assault weapon”!
“semi-automatic” anything, IS NOT AN “Assault weapon”!
This is a political creation, intended to make gun grabbers sound reasonable.
Note to self: Use revolver for next armed burglary in FL.
Makes since to me.
Being shot by someone with a pretty weapon is much less deadly than being shot by someone with an ugly weapon.
Thats just about all of the democrat legislators in Florida. :)
About zero chance of this going anywhere here.
There aren’t many details about the law in the article but it seems to me that if you use an automatic weapon in self-defense, but the jury decides you weren’t justified, you get your sentence boosted for the crime of assault with a deadly weapon or murder. Great . . . cause plenty of people have semi-automatic pistols for self-defense.
And just how many criminals have used an “assault weapon” in the commission of a crime?
So I’m less dead, my family’s grief is lessened, and accordingly the criminal should get a break if I’m murdered with a knife or a revolver instead?
Maybe if FLA wasn’t so soft on criminals using any weapon they wouldn’t have room to toughen the law for “assault” weapons.

They’re kidding
... Right?
Here is a simple test: why is one an "assault weapon" and therefore banned under the now-expired federal law and one is not?
My thanks to Model1Sales.com for the hotlinks to their fine firearms.
Ok, let me sort this one out.
Little .22 auto pistol = bad, throw the book at him
Bolt action anti-tank rifle = ok, normal sentence
Hm...
Does anyone know the number or name of the bill?
I would like it when I write to my state reps.
Thanks
Yeah, cause your 9mm or .45 acp semi auto is so much deadlier than my .454 causel or .460, or .480 or .500 revolver. NOT!
Anybody have the numbers for the Florida legislators? This is one where the asshats should hear from the people. Putting a homeowner away for life for using a semi-automatic pistol, or someone that feels threatened in a parking lot or a walk in the neighborhood, MANDATORY, is *&%%$ing wacked.
Are these guys in the pay of pump-action and wheelgun makers?
Whole point is to single out some “weapons” as more of a problem than other weapons, and scare the shit out of the city folk ants. Get “some” weapons banned, lay back a while, then come back again, and scare the dumbasses again. They will fall for it, most of the time! They can’t survive, outside the hive!
American city folks are more afraid of wild American
Rednecks, than they are of Stoneage muslim barbarians, I reckon that they figure that all they need to do to keep a muslim from slitting their throat is to bend over and whimper.
Day, by day, the major urban centers make ever more concessions to the barbarians.
They don’t speak for this Redneck, and they never will!
The American Urban folks are supposed to have a lock on compassion, empathy, sympathy, whatever, but, what really drives them is the knowledge that just as soon as they stop paying bribes the Barbarians will eat their lunch, and rape their daughters!
Hell, Folks, Rudy gets credit for all kinds of miracles, none of them possible, as if the sawed off little turkey ever gave a damn about The Constitution, in the first place, and Rudy ain’t the only one!
Want your big urban social problems solved? Boolshat, y’all don’t have the balls to do it!
Bees, and Ants, you are, just go along to get along, nothing matters, beyond your goddamn bank account!
Y’all have exploited us too much already, shame on us!
If my freezer was empty, and my power was turned off, and my bank account was shut down, no money in it, oh, well, last time it happened I survived it, I can do it again.
