BREAKING: Florida House passes gun control bill
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 7 March 2018 | Gray Rohrer

Posted on 03/07/2018 3:46:43 PM PST by Yo-Yo

TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that restricts gun sales and sets up a program to arm some teachers and other school employees. The bill is a response to the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and faculty dead. The final vote was 67-50. It came after an all-day debate on the measure. Democrats favored the gun control provisions in the bill – a ban on bump stocks, an increase in the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21 and a three-day waiting period for all gun sales – but object to the “guardian” program that would arm some teachers and other school staff.

You seem to have missed my response completely. Can a prisoner own a gun in prison? No. Where does it say in the second amendment that he can not? After he has served his time, his status as a felon remains and the ‘punishment’ continues, unless revoked. Are you advocating for violent criminals to have guns?

If you wouldn't vote for John McCain or Lindsey Graham, why would you vote for Scott, now that you know his true colors? The truth is that I would oppose Scott in a repub primary and hope to have a better choice then either Scott or Nelson. Wouldn't be hard.

But, I do want to say that I appreciate your gratuitous name calling and knee jerk reactions. Very adult.

All guns. All. Handguns were already restricted.

It is interesting that under the new law in California, you have to Cal DOJ four photos of your gun when you register it, and they won’t accept an application for a lower alone. This leads me to believe, they want to know for sure you have the other parts when the day arrives they come for them. I know a lot of people who did not register their guns.

That’s a great point. If you are mad at Scott, you vote against him in the Primary. Mobilize the vote against him. You don’t immediately jump to, “Let’s vote for Communist Bill.”

Bill Nelson immediately called for gun control before the bodies in Parkland were even cold. He voted against Justice Gorsuch. He’s fought President Trump on virtually every issue.

He’s evil, vile scum.

what utter crap. Who said I would vote for Scott, but sure as hell I will not vote for nelson which would bring more of us to a gun ban, abortion, spending, homosexual agenda etc. but you go right ahead and be a complete idiot

You voting for Nelson tells me and others why people like you ruin this state. Voting for a communist and his agenda, shame on you, or wake the hell up.

Yes it turns out Scott is a coward but if he’s up against Nelson you have to get out and vote for Scott. As Fla Governor he proved he can go the right way at least some of the time.

I’m advocating for rights to be restored when you leave whatever prison your in, a mental institution, a prison.... it does not matter, if you can walk into a gun shop or gun store you should be able to buy whatever you want, I’m still waiting to hear where it says different in the second amendment.

And you thought promoting the evil Bill Nelson would go over well ?

Are you that clueless of the destruction Bill Nelson has done over the years .

That Ghoul was peddling Gun Control minutes after the shooters was reported and nithing more was known .

The body count was not even known and Nelson was trying to make political points !

Are you that clueless about Bill Nelson .

We dont even know the FL Gop candidate and you pushing the gun grabbing ghoul .
Nelson .

Republicans are the only party who completely surrender if they don’t get everything they want. Sad.

What?

The "law" does squat to deny anyone to buy a gun.

The bill bans 18-21 years from buying a rifle? Handguns and shotguns are OK then? Not as deadly?

The bill bans 18-20 year olds from purchasing rifles or shotguns. Federal law already bans purchases by those under 18.

18-20 year olds have been banned from purchasing handguns since the Gun Control Act of 1968.

The law does not ban possession of firearms, only the purchase from an FFL.

We need to stop Scott in the primary .

He will lose to Nelson .

Scott is poison to the Gop state ticket . The N FL voters and hunters will sit out 2018 due to Scott .

You noticed how Nelson bolted to the cameras before we knew the
death toll and was screaming gun control .

A true Ghoul . Scott was stupid enough to fall for the Gun Grabbing media hype .

So we can sleep easy now the thugs still have their guns and the civilized civilians will find it harder to protect themselves and their families. No mention of the systemic failures of the school Obama board ,the Obama county sheriffs standown office, the FBI sit back and wait until it happens so to fit the Obama agenda security force
