Via Of Arms and The Law:
Story and opinion here. Initiatives require a description of the measure being voted on (and for which petition signatures were sought), and the court found, 4-1, that the description was inaccurate. It said that existing firearms would be registered and “grandfathered in” without disclosing that they could never be transferred, by transaction or will or otherwise.
In one very short sentence: They lied.
And here is the full text of Florida’s SC decision.
Very glad they got called on it.
“They lied.”
And this is my shocked face: 😐
Glad this was squashed before it went anywhere.
“Affirmatively misled”… when I worked for federally licensed nuclear power plants, “affirmatively misleading” regulators could get you a $10,000 fine. After that you would be unemployable in the nuclear industry. Too bad it doesn’t work that way for political activists.
Nuke, you have to remember that it is intentional. They can do the exact same thing over and over again. We have to win EVERY time. They only have to win once.
This *is* how most of the social justice yuck has come into being. They tried 5, 10 , 20 or more times. They lost every time. Then it was “This is the law of the land. How dare you attack the law of the land, you’re not a law abiding citizen if you disagree with the law of the land. Stop bothering me, I need to go smoke a joint in violation of Federal Law because it is a bad law.”
