Gov. Rick Scott Pushes Firearm Confiscation Orders, Opposes Arming Teachers for School Safety
Breitbart ^ | 23 Feb 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/23/2018 12:41:11 PM PST by Cheerio

Gov. Rick Scott (R) is pushing firearm confiscation orders and stands opposed to the suggestion that teachers should be armed for school safety.

CNN reports that Scott is pushing a “Violent Threat Restraining Order,” which are similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders in that they a designed to secure court orders to confiscate firearms following a family member’s complaint.

It is difficult to see how such orders–designed to be triggered by family requests–would have been effective against Nikolas Cruz. After all, the family with which he was staying repeatedly called the police on him in November 2017 but refused to file charges when sheriff’s deputies arrived. A member of the family with which Cruz was staying explained away Cruz’s erratic behavior by saying he “had been suffering significantly from the loss of his mother” earlier in the month.

99% of these complaints will be opened the day before the wife files for divorce.

Hellbent on disarming the good guys rather than allowing them to arm themselves, while nothing is done about the bad guys.

What could possibly go wrong?

What is needed is not armed teachers but rather certain (as the President said) armed individuals that teach

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

And all the times he was reported as a potential danger in previous years was just in 'expectation' of the loss of his mother?

Scott has turned into awful political hack .

He is also trying to ban ALL gun purchases for any under 21 period.

The stupid gun grab will destroy the FL Gop and the Dems will sweep in 2018 in FL .

The stupid party strikes again .

Good bye Midterms !,,

Senator Nelson has a long List of Rifles he wants to be Banned in this Country.

Banned as in turn them in or we’ll break down your Door to get them and then throw you in Prison for non-compliance.

Welcome to the return of the Third Reich if he gets his wish.

Scott is buying into some strong BS here, but he doesn’t hold a Candle to Nelson.

"...orders to confiscate firearms following a family member’s complaint."

That's evil, wrong and a violation of human rights. Instead, put something on record, when a person is prescribed drugs that make them dangerous or are tested and found to be under the influence. Require that the record be promptly corrected, when the person tests drug-free.

Neither one! Makes no difference, I don’t really care to bother over the difference between crap and sh!t anymore.

Rick Scott doesn’t represent anything I care about or believe in, so I can’t see any point in electing him to be my representative, but luckily I don’t have to worry about that, because Marco Rubio, the human AR-15, is my rep.. Yay me!

Would his adoptive mother have filed such an order?

Fla. shooting suspect had a history of explosive anger,...
The Washington Post
By Kevin Sullivan, William Wan and Julie Tate
February 15, 2018
Cruz started throwing eggs at Speno’s car with no warning, Speno recalled. He and a friend chased Cruz back to his house. "We were pissed off, so we knocked on the door and his mom came out," Speno said. When the two told her what happened, Cruz’s mom had a strange reaction. "She said, ‘No, my son would never do that. He’s inside sleeping,’ " Speno recalled.


Deputies called to suspected shooter’s home 39 times over seven years

"How long before a soon-to-be ex-spouse calls in a false claim?"

A woman like that could have each old boyfriend disarmed to allow a new boyfriend to kill him. A loose woman could rack up quite a few murders that way while keeping her own hands clean. With that or otherwise, it's an obvious political/regulator class policy for robbing neighbors. There were such officious robberies in Noah's time and other times since, may their houses rot.

It's not entirely new. It's one of many anti-family tactics to put more money into the pockets of lawyers and continue shrinking the population of those with European ancestry. It's part of a way of moving ever more towards a nation of communist gangsters and slaves.

Only problem with their error, is that those of us remaining become more like lions in time.
