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.

Is that even constitutional? Take someone’s rights away because a family member “complained”? Florida is not under the Ninth Circuit.

What a dumb charade. I wonder if he and his people know deep down that this would not have worked and that it was clearly failure to work with the existing laws properly that led to last week’s horror.

We will witness an even greater devolution of the American family.

Wanna see some teenage kid turn on his parents and call in his dad?

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

How about an ex-spouse calling to mess up someone’s live?

Don’t underestimate the vindictiveness of aggrieved people. You think swatting is a problem? Just wait.

I thought “they” said they didn’t want to confiscate firearms.

This chucklehead will be running for Senate. This move is purely political.

Maybe the Democrats will finally be happy if there is a bill to force all Republicans to die.

One of those guys who looks like he will do the right thing, UNTIL the opportunity for higher office is within his grasp.

In 2016 he TWICE backed out of a promise to sign legislation abolishing alimony in Florida because his name was in the mix as a possible Trump VP.

Total moistened-finger-in-the-wind politician.

I sure wish Ron DeSantis would run for US Senate instead of governor. At least then we’d have a choice better than the race between Dumb (Scott) and Dumber (Nelson).

He’s just trying to follow in Charlie Crist’s footsteps. Willing to back anything if it seems politically advantageous.

“Maybe the Democrats will finally be happy if there is a bill to force all Republicans to die.”

Yup. Sums it up.

Remember these Rats scrounged up their own team of shrinks to testify that Trump is mentally ill and should be impeached.

The Death with Dignity crowd in the Netherlands are now putting people down like unwanted pets.

Broken heart? Boyfriend/Girlfriend left you? OK. That qualifies as intolerable and needless suffering.

What a shame. He has been a pretty good Gov. up til now. But, he wants to run against Dem Senator Bill Nelson. He may believe that this is politically expedient going into an election.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't worry about this too much because the House and Senate are Repub-controlled. But, you never know.

We don’t need to arm teachers. We simply need to ALLOW THEM TO BE ARMED. Parents too.

And then put up a sign that says as much.

If he opposes the 2nd Amendment, he’s probably not going to side with the citizens and the rule of law when it comes to amnesty.
