Yup, your kid was not going to be able to post a picture of him with his favorite Nerf gun on Instagram without having Law Enforcement bust in your house without needing a warrant and taking everybody to jail.
This is the fascist jackass who thought sending a SWAT team after your toddler for a picture with a toy gun was a good idea. He was the laughing-stock in several media outlets although not in enough of them for my taste.
His district covers parts of the Florida Key, the parts I thought were the nice ones. I guess things have changed down there since the last time I visited.
It was made official at closing of business today:
SB 1310 (2019) Minors Posting Firearms on Social MediaSENATE – Withdrawn from Judiciary; Criminal Justice; RulesSENATE – Withdrawn from further consideration
I guess this is what happens when you think New Zealand sending kids to prison for 14 years for a PDF is a good idea.
It’s disturbing to see this kind of criminal, intent on violating all the major parts of the Bill of Rights, actually in elected office.
This wouldn’t have lasted five minutes without an ACLU challenge, largely because of the number of Urban Yoots who like to post this type of picture.
I was waiting for this to pass, only to see some six year old get arrested for chewing a PopTart into the shape of a gun or for a Halloween costume.
