BREAKING: Florida House Passes Gun Control Bill
« on: March 07, 2018, 11:54:53 pm »
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.

Wow.  This really puts Governor Scott in a tough position.  I've not known him to sign any piece of legislation that would infringe on the 2A.  I am very surprised at the vote outcome of 67-50.  That's a pretty wide margin. It opens the door for other states to follow suit and it also opens the door for further gun control.  Gun control is here folks.  God forbid if the DEMS get a majority in either House.

132 hours of firearms training.

Insane amount of training, no one will give up three months of full time work to train.

Nothing to see here yet.

Nice work FL. This will undoubtedly end all gun violence in your state. You should be very proud with this groundbreaking legislation.

How many mass shootings were from guns right out of the box, straight from the store?  Dylan Roof shouldn't have passed a background check, but he purchased his weapon in April 2015 and the shooting occurred in June.  California has a 10 day period and it wouldn't have mattered.

I took you for more of a knife person anyway. No impersonal bullets for you. You like to feel the warm blood and see the heart stop beating when you kill.

President Trump has once again made the problem worse (or better as he would call it).  Does anybody remember the universe before Trump?  Please remind me how many guns Obama and Dubya controlled.

Seriously?   Obama did everything he could to restrict guns.
