Idiots fail to recognize that it’s the 18 to 21 year old criminals in school, that should not be there and in jail.

VERY SIMPLE. Undo Obama’s crap.

Fix that first.

No, handgun purchases are already restricted to age 21 and over, nationwide. I think that was part of the Brady Act.

This is just one more step towards confiscation.

Let me go on record right now...I will NOT give up even ONE gun.

Period.

I own no AR-15's, but if I did, I would NOT give it up.

But for the rest of them...from Big Thumper (my Barrett) down to Little Beaver (my .22 mag hide-out), all I can say is...come take them.

This school shooting shit ain't MY fault.

I accept NO responsibility for it, nor will I will weep and wail in fruitless grief over something that I did not cause nor participate in.

I call upon my God to have mercy upon the souls of the dead and I sincerely hope the one's that lost a loved one will find mercy and relief through His benevolence...but I cannot, will not, should not bear this on my shoulders by giving up MY God-given right to defend myself against the damned heathen turds that are allowed to run loose.

Rant over.

They already had a 3-day waiting period on (only) handguns too before this. In some ways, this law only ends the distinction between rifles and handguns, and makes Florida law uniform.

Scott is more than your average coward.

He says he will do something, and then he starts paying attention to poll results, and then changes his mind.

He did this on TWO different bills that would have abolished alimony in Florida divorce cases. Not that the issue itself matters to me, but it shows he has zero fortitude when it comes to taking a principled position and then sticking to it.

No. Fed law restricts handgun purchases to 21 yo and older. This mistake make it illegal in Florida (only) to buy a long gun unless you’re 21. It also forces a 3 day waiting period for ALL firearms purchases (unless you have a CWP, are active military, and maybe a couple of other exemptions). Allows select school personnel with CWP to carry on campus. And you have to be very careful about buying any firearm for anyone not 21. I’m sure the pricks will find some way to invoke the straw purchase clause even if its for your son or daughter.

This has to be taken to the USSC. I personally think it may be unconstitutional to restrict sales to anyone not 21.

At any rate, most people north of the I-4 corridor will never support Scott for anything again. Everyone south of the I-4 corridor are already lost to common sense. (See Broward County, et al.)

2 days after the shooting, Scott did an interview with Wolf Blitzer..why, i dont know..but ol Wolfie beat him like a rented mule with every talking point under the sun...and the idiot just took it and kept apoligizing...like he pulled the trigger. What a pathetic, spineless punk...yeah, let 17 year old brats set gun policy. He can kiss the panhandle and his career bye.

Governor Scott is a DOMESTIC ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION, and deserves everything that happens to him in the coming civil war.

This is a mistake. There is going to be backlash.

sCOTT SHOULD HAVE ORDERED AN INVESTIGATION ON
Parkland Policy Failures but still can

WHAT THE MEDIA DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW
WHY IT WENT WRONG ?
IT IS BECAUSE OF POLICIES-
;IT LOOKS LIKE THIS
but never should have happened

WAS THE BROWARD COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT PROHIBITED
FROM BEARING ARMS INSIDE BY SCHOOL AUTHORITIES ???

WERE THEY SO FED UP WITH THE SCHOOL LENIENT POLICIES
IT BECAME WHY BOTHER TO GO THERE ?

In the Parkland case, their security system had a dismal record concerning student safety and security that should be brought to public discussion particularly beginning with this school having a so called “gun free zone”. But that does not fit this perverted agenda created by the democratic party ( in name only) goose stepping adherents in the media and must be concealed. So they make up it is guns and the NRA garbage in their swill mills

From what has been reported .This school system did have an understanding with the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. An officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security

Criticism arose when the officer assigned to this duty who was nearing retirement was reported to arrive late and after Cruz had entered the building. The officer stationed himself outside the large structure and had called for support. Two BCSD officers responded Which and did the same seeming to refusing to enter the building while armed . He then left before Cruz did.

Also responding to a BCSD request was the Coral Springs PD who appears did not have this gun restriction entered the building and cleared it. Cruz was captured while fleeing with other students by an alert CSPD officer off the 45 acre campus. While para medics were denied entrance by the BCSD to see if they could save any of the victims.

Those laissez faire attitudes strongly suggest examining records beside the interaction between the BCSD and this school board also calls for a review how the bureaucracy at this school handled student vs student, and student vs teacher (Cruz was accused of this) altercations, vandalism, thefts, and drug use. Which are bound to occur were being dealt with.

To which a dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents were reported after the selection of Obama’s Chicago friend as school superintendent occurred which was publicly acclaimed.and was receiving large grant from Obama’s Attorney General because of those results. That many critics claimed encouraged criminal activity. Which should require Trump Administration US Attorney General beside find out why when the FBI knew that Cruz should not be able to purchase weapons did. And review these grant programs instituted by the previous Obama administration.

Because of these Ding Bat liberal policies it brings up another question. Just how safe and secure were those kids ? .Examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with. Beside the arrangements with the BCSD.

Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten within the grounds let alone inside.

Now that school board has decided to tear down the school which was probably raised by a funding referendums and the grounds house a memorial.
