Who cares ? The 2nd and Heller rein supreme
I hope they will be able to derail those stupid proposals at one level or another. If not, I’d like to see a mindless and symbolic law with a sunset date. Make sure freedom loses as little ground as possible and that it regains that ground. Make America’s enemies replay the Vietnam War - fighting the same battle for the same hill over and over.
They can push all they want, it’s not getting through the Florida Senate.
The age restriction will probably fail a Constitutional challenge, or, at least it should. And it only applies to purchases from a licensed dealer. Private sales, gifts, etc., do not apply, nor where those less than 21 are law enforcement, military, CCW holder (same provisions) or completion of hunter safety/firearm safety training. Bump stock, though I don’t support the ban, is what it is at this point. Allowing school boards to decide whether to permit teachers to be armed under the “Guardian Act” is at least at the level of government it should be...local. Of course not all school boards will approve; it will probably be along rural/urban lines, but that will still be a significant number that will permit. The confiscation of firearms by a judge’s order based on Baker Act, or similar provisions, is bad news and should be a non-starter. As I’m listening to the Representatives making their pitches on the floor, I’m stunned at the ignorance and/or reliance on “feelings” or having to “do something” that they crafted this legislation. Decisions based on emotion are rarely good decisions...especially when it comes to rights.
Well, Florida, you just lost me as a possible retiree. I’ll take my money elsewhere.
"anyone that possess a bump stock or similar accessory a felon"
Those damned Republicans are going to LOSE the majority because of their cowardice and spaghetti spines! Donald Trump is the best thing to come down the pike since Ronald Reagan and I would hate to see his agenda go in the crapper and have the loons in charge again. Is there anyone with an R by their name that has the gumption to see this and call it out???? I can count on my hand the number who feel the same way some of us do and try to expose the danger we face if we lose but they’re shouted down. President Trump can’t do this by himself and I hope there are brave men and women out there that will run against these establishment Republicans, Ryan and McTurtle to name a couple and help the President get this country back to being great again and a place where justice applies to not just the few but to ALL!!!!!!
Florida Republicans have just CAVED on gun control. The anti-gun measure passed 67-50.
