More details have been revealed about the Republican-sponsored proposal being filed in Tallahassee that would restrict who could purchase an assault rifle.
Channel 9 sat down with the state senator who is drafting the law, David Simmons, who said the measure is being put into place to prevent the sale, gift, lease or loan of an assault rifle to anyone under the age of 25.
“The question is how do we deal with this significant crisis today and that is with young men using these assault-type weapons, creating some of the worst crises (and) massacres that we have seen,” Simmons said.
When asked why he didn’t go for a complete ban on assault rifles, he said it’s “not necessary to go that far,” but the draft he intends to file is so that the dialogue can be opened.
Democrat Carlos Guillermo-Smith was among the first to speak with Simmons about the proposal.
“These are weapons of war, made for war and don’t belong in civilian hands no matter the age,” said Guillermo-Smith

Florida Republican proposes gun reform measure limiting who can purchase assault rifles

And the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, no less. Was the Bloomberg money well spread around from Galvano? Is he really thinking Democrats are going to like him more because he is coming up with a “compromise” bill? I think he is for re-election next year and maybe thinking Democrats are going to vote for him rather than their candidate. HA!

Young man walks in a gun store, cash hot in his pocket and approached the counter.
-“Hi, I would like to buy an AR15 like that one.”
_”Sure enough, here. check it out.”
-“Perfect. I’ll take it. .
-“Let’s fill the paperwork. First thing, how old are you?”
-“24”
-“I m sorry, law says I can’t sell you this dangerous weapon because you are too young.”
-“What? I just got out of the Army and I carried an M4 for four years. Suddenly in Florida I am too young and stupid to buy an AR15.”
-“According to our legislators, you are a potential mass shooter and needs to be isolated from this weapons. It is all for the good of the People according to them.”
-“Do it for the Children, right?”

Yes Senator Simmons, it is that stupid. Probably worse.
