Florida Alert: Speaker of the Florida House Statement on Obama Gun Control
facebook ^ | 1/5/16 | Steve Crisafulli

Posted on 01/06/2016 12:17:50 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Florida Speaker of the House, Steve Crisafulli, posted the following statement yesterday in response to the executive orders proposed by [Hussein].

[Hussein]'s executive order on guns is an overreach that restricts our Second Amendment rights and does nothing to stop crime. The answer to preventing crime and acts of terror in this country is not to make it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families from those who seek to do us harm.

"It is unfortunate that [Hussein] refuses to work with Congress to find real solutions, and instead chooses to issue executive fiats that undermine one of our most fundamental and important rights.

"As we begin the 2016 Legislative Session here in Florida, the House will continue to support measures that strengthen our Second Amendment rights and ensure Floridians can lawfully defend themselves, their families, and their property."


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; News/Current Events; US: Florida
KEYWORDS: guns; vote
there you go.

I think all across this nation people of all parties, ages, races, and socio-economic status are standing up against Hussein and his sycophants.

And yet Florida remains one of only 4 or 5 states without some provision for open carry.

A simple “FUBU” is sufficient.

Bill before FL legislature for the upcoming session for Open Carry has already cleared committee reviews. Good chance it will pass this year.

“And yet Florida remains one of only 4 or 5 states without some provision for open carry.”

Not entirely true.

Bill is in progress to make open carry generally legal.

Open carry is legal currently while doing specific activities like hunting, camping and fishing.

Understood.

But I was referring to general open carry although I didn't specify.

President Trump has vowed that on his first day in office, he will revoke this EO and every other unconstitutional EO issued by Obama. It would be even better if President Trump simply revoked ALL of Obama’s EOs with Trump Presidential EO #1, and then reissued any that actually might some merit.
