In 1970, the Florida legislature gave enormous, short tern power to Sheriffs and municipal officials.

In 2025, the Legislature dialed back the part eliminating important rights protected by the Second Amendment.

Glad to hear this as I now live in Florida. Don’t think I would have sacrificed my life just to obey their previous silly law.

“So, here’s how it works. You have some inalienable rights. Guaranteed by the Constitution. The federal government cannot infringe on these rights. The state government cannot infringe on these rights. Except if they want to. In a case like that, your rights can come and go depending on how some politicians feel about that day. So, enjoy your inalienable rights when you get a chance, because they may get alienated later on. Or we might decide to give them back to you for a bit. If you behave yourself.”

I do not worry with government regarding the right to protect myself. After all, the right they keep mentioning is not a right government even has the ability to give.

Congress should pass a Free To Defend bill. In emergencies, you can protect people and property.
