Scott’s consultant driven Senate election PR stunt will be totally overshadowed by the Norks. But we will be stuck with this garbage forever.

[ontap]

He just signed away his political future. I don’t vote for spineless gun grabbers!!!

[ealgeone]

Anything repealing the no report or minimization of behavioral problems by minorities?

[Yogafist]

If we’d just had a few more laws, none of those kids would have been killed.

[knarf]

NUTHIN' more stupid than following the advice of kids too young to vote that give council to take away their rights.

[poobear]

So under this Bill, law enforcement can deem who should own firearms and who shouldn’t? WHAT COULD GO WRONG!!!

[Joe Brower]

I just called Rick Scott's office at (850) 717-9337 -- lines are all busy. Voice mailbox is full. Waited for a person and after ten minutes or so on hold it dumped me into a different voicemail system, where I left my msg:

VETO SB 7026!

Florida Freeper

[txrefugee]

If he’s going to vote like Nelson, why bother to vote against Nelson?

[BBQToadRibs]

Just adding up the numbers from the article, there’s 256.8 million of new spending this year for the Florida tax payers. A lot of that in the bill doesn’t address stopping shootings, rather it’s after the fact bandaids and building bigger school administrations.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh North Florida and the Panhandle will be thrilled that you can’t hunt til you are 21. Nelson’s senate seat is safe.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Scott wants to be the next GOP Amnesty Senator from FL.
He’s revealing his inner Bush League Republican.

[Boomer One]

Called his line and left a message as well as leaving an email. I strongly object to the manner in which this bill was conceived; i.e., based on emotion, not reason or facts, the use of 16 year olds as political pawns by the liberal media, blaming the NRA, a large conservative organization, instead of looking at system failures and addressing them, etc. Even worse, I am concerned that this was a test by liberals to see if a right and conservatism could be overcome by emotion, acting, media pressure and outside money which funded same. Sadly I fear both Governor Scott and the Florida legislature have failed. Does the fact that he intends to announce his decision after meeting with Parkland victims give any doubt as to which way he will decide?

[trebb]

Just sent him a tweet: Governor Scott, please don't sign the bill - might as well say folks can't enlist in the military or vote until they are 21 - if they can be trusted with the sacred vote, they can be trusted with firearms.

[Professional]

The event that triggered this would have EASILY been avoided if the school and law enforcement agencies had even REASONABLY done their jobs. To deny that, is just insanity.

So instead, they pass more laws that only infringe upon law abiding citizens...

[alstewartfan]

At least they’ve done SOMETHING, even if that something is stupid and worthless.

[DownInFlames]

It does nothing to keep this from happening in the future and violate the 2nd amendment rights of thos under 21. If 18 year olds are considered adults, then they should not have their rights restricted.

Furthermore, who determines if someone is a threat to society. This opens the door to go after the militias.

[clintonh8r]

I guess he didn’t read my email......

[backwoods-engineer]

Evil, unconstitutional infringements of the right to keep and bear arms, which PRE-EXISTS this nation, and will continue to exist long after this nation is in the dust bin of history. Which it is accelerating toward with hateful collective punishments like this.

WE LAWFUL GUN OWNERS DIDN'T DO IT. WE SHOULDN'T BE PUNISHED.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Where’s the action on the coward county sheriff et al, guv?

[Sooth2222]

...except the article doesn't tell us what's in it, and not in it!

"Imposes a three-day waiting period for all gun purchases". Doesn't the law exclude CCW holders, military and LEOs? Seems an important omission. (And I'm not even in Florida, like the reporter.)
