How about some firings and some prosecutions of the real guilty parties?
Those who set the stage for this tragedy and those who failed at their jobs of enforcing the laws and protecting the students should be held accountable.
Voted for it before they voted against it. Sound familiar?
Pistols, shotguns and knives are also weapons of war. Do the dims want those banned as well?
The AR 15 is a semi automatic rifle. It is not full auto select or three round burst select. Those two additions to semi auto are what hallmarks moder assault rifles. The Ruger 1022 is a semi automatic rifle, in .22lr caliber. The fools writing legislation need educating ... the Ruger 1022 is not an assault rifle, either.
“Some Republicans argued that a ban on any specific type of weapon was unconstitutional, and the first step toward confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens.
The Republican majority also succeeded in defeating Democratic proposals for a permanent assault weapons ban; mandatory registration of guns; and new child-proof trigger locks on guns.
The senator who called for a second vote was Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Republicans questioned the legality of outlawing sales of a specific type of firearm, and it was unlikely that the more conservative House would have agreed with the moratorium.”
From the article.
“Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, D-Miami, called assault rifles “weapons of war designed to kill efficiently and effectively … and then they’re modified for civilian use by a $17 billion industry.”
As usual they have it backwards.
The AR is a civilian rifle adopted and modified by the military.
Its DOA in the House. Even if it had passed.
This is just cheap political grandstanding in the face of human tragedy.
Which wasn’t caused by guns but by a string of governmental failures to enforce existing laws.
None of which the anti-gun bills package even bother to address.

So now they can say to one audience that they voted Yes, and then No to another audience. How convenient.
If you wouldn't have voted for this on February 13, 2018, voting for it now is stupid.
DEFEAT ALL OF THESE ENEMIES OF THE CONSTITUTION in the NEXT election cycle!
Civil War era muskets were also weapons of war and lol quite efficiently...why not ban them?
Establishing the Marjory Stoneman Douglass Public Safety Commission beginning in June and lasting for three years. The panel will make recommendations on school safety and understand what went wrong at Douglas High. Members will be appointed by the Legislature, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the governor. “This commission will have teeth,” Galvano said, noting it will have the ability to review records and issue subpoenas through FDLE.
Democrats establish a commission which does nothing, but give three years of paychecks to cronies, and accomplishes nothing at all.

* Developing a mobile app called “Fortify Florida,” for students, parents, teachers and others to forward tips on suspicious activity and behavior anonymously. Galvano said it was a recommendation that came to the legislature through the attorney general’s office but “the legislation is not geared to any particular vendor.”
Oh nice. Anonymous, my a$$!!. This will not be abused, oh no way. Only conservatives will be targeted!!
This is pure BS. Voice votes are notoriously unreliable. Whoever shouts the loudest wins, despite actual numbers.
You remember that 2012 DNC convention where they took 4 voice votes on whether to re-introduce a platform honoring God into the Democrat Platform?
Three voice votes clearly rejected the re-introduction. They held a fourth one, and while this one also clearly rejected it with a Nay, the chairman said it was a Yay.
Voice votes are crap.
What is an assault rifle? Is that any weapon a leftist want’s to outlaw for law abiding citizens?
No St. Pete Pravda! They reaffirmed their support for the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment!
I have very little experience with Florida. I’ve visited, and I really liked what I saw.
There doesn’t appear to be any “traditional” or “Legacy’ businesses there. And nothing old seems to exist. Everything is new and clean.
Not my cup of tea, but I’ve also known hundreds, literally known hundreds of people from Connecticut who have moved there for either retirement or to escape the BS of Connecticut.
And I get the idea from many years ago that it’s really just “Connecticut Lite”.
Connecticut is “California Lite”, that’s for sure. Whenever something gets passed in CA it’s about 10 years before CT passes the same crap.
Am I off here ?
what court, and is this going to SCOTUS?
