WESTON, Fla. – Ten mayors in Miami-Dade and Broward counties have announced they are banding together to sue the state of Florida for the right to make their own gun laws.
A state law bans cities and counties from imposing their own gun-control rules. City leaders can be personally fined up to $5,000 if they disobey the law. The mayors said the penalties are unconstitutional.
10 South Florida mayors sue state to make their own gun laws.
The Antis saw the Legislature collapse at the emotions of Parkland and now they are trying to see if the courts can be equally intimidated. They would love nothing more than start throwing “ordinances that would create such a commotion and confusion across the county that people would actually be afraid to step outside their homes legally carrying a sidearm or even going to the range.
The fines imposed by the law have to come out of their pockets and not the taxpayer’s money. That makes penalties for violations of the law very real and very painful.
The following quote made me laugh the hardest because of the city being represented:
“The idea that we cannot control our own space to make sure it’s safe for our residents and visitors is astounding,” Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said
Please allow me to show you how well Miami Beach “controls” its own space.
All you had to do was say Ocean 9 Liquors. Everything south of Lincoln Road is a third world country.
