Not only we have the usual load of bad bills, but we really have some with companion bills that makes the dangerous: The elimination of Preemption of Firearms and Ammunition And the Safe Storage. This means they are looking to have something passed no matter what to get the avalanche going.
They are looking to eliminate the prohibition of record keeping so a gun registration can be instituted. And also the elimination of preemption when it comes to Concealed Carry, thankfully no companion bills yet, but some of the bad bills are already scheduled for hearing.
And somebody needs to get in touch with Senator Gruters (R) and inform him his bill (SB 498) although well intentioned, is a disaster waiting to happen: It does not solve the question of what happens if a church shares space with an educational facility and introduces the very dangerous precedent of ruling Gun Free Zones by sign rather than by law. It will get the nightmare of Posted Locations with the weight of the Law. Anybody from the Sarasota area needs to point out the problem. The bill that was offered last year had Bipartisanship support.
Get in touch with your Senators and see if they can craft a companion bill for all the Sabatini bills, specially HB 123, Constitutional Carry. I think if we get this one passed, we can re-start our old Pro Gun avalanche.
OK people, let’s get our shit together. The Democrats are pissed as hell Florida went from regular red to crimson red and I bet they are willing to do what they feel they need to do to make the Republican weasel out.
This year, the largest threat is from the National level, I think.
