I’m just as upset at this, but let’s get the facts straight...yes, it infringes (IMO) on the 2A (age restriction - hence the NRA Suit), and the disregard for due process is unacceptable. However, an 18 y/o can still possess a firearm, be given a firearm, and there are many exemptions (CCW, hunting license, fire arms safety course, Military, etc.) to the age restriction. Also, the bill provides for school personnel who wish to be armed, to be so, with a policy approved by local school board and if they are properly trained, vetted, etc. Admittedly, this is a horrible bill and a knee-jerk emotional reaction that the vast majority of FL House members spoke out about their dislike for the bill. IMO, Gov Scott should have vetoed and sent it back to the Legislature to deal with it as logical, rational, adults, even if it took a special sesssion to do so (apparently one of the reasons this bill was rushed was because the legislators and Governor didn’t want to extend the session). If the Legislature overrode his veto, so be it. Perhaps the Legislature should also be restricted in their actions with a “waiting period” on legislation that deals with “emotional” issues so we, as law abiding citizens that did nothing wrong, don’t get penalized and our rights trampled.
Outstanding idea! 10 day waiting period before a bill can be voted on.
