TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that restricts gun sales and sets up a program to arm some teachers and other school employees. The bill is a response to the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and faculty dead. The final vote was 67-50. It came after an all-day debate on the measure. Democrats favored the gun control provisions in the bill – a ban on bump stocks, an increase in the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21 and a three-day waiting period for all gun sales – but object to the “guardian” program that would arm some teachers and other school staff.

Wow. Can I get some of what you’re smoking?
It has already passed the Senate, and is headed for Gov. Scott's desk.
It’s true. You can look it up.
When people start saying: "But, but the other guy is even worse!" you know your country is going to hell in a hand basket at Mach 1.
Poison pill to get Scott to veto?
Regardless, I loathe politicians that pass knee-jerk legislation like this, or the PATRIOT Act after 9/11 or South Carolina relocating that Confederate flag after the 2015 Charleston church shooting. If you wouldn't have voted for it the day before the tragedy, voting for it after is pants-on-head retarded.
Where he will sign it so fast that the ink in the pen will ignite. Since he already self-immolated and set the Florida GOP on fire, nobody will notice the smoke.
FLORIDA VALUES!!
We already tell them they're too young to drink a beer.
They passed it already .
its over .
Scott pushed this treason thru .
This will do nothing to prevent gun deaths or gun crimes. It will only make it harder for law abiding persons to protect themselves and participate in legal activities like hunting.
I saw the video several times. I don’t need to look it up.
I can’t help but laugh at this, the camels nose went through the tent years ago , if you can restrict someone from buying a gun because of an felony then you can find a way to restrict anyone else for any reason, someone please show or tell where in the 2nd amendment it says you lose that right.....? If you can walk into a gun store then you should be able to purchase a gun.
“I just can’t swallow the poison pill of more guns in schools,” said Rep. Loranne Ausley, D-Tallahassee.
How did that gun free zone work at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland?
Won't save a single life. Complete meme.
an increase in the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21
Won't save a single life. Might as well ban shooting up a school before age 21 too. Most of these school shooters get their guns from their parents.
and a three-day waiting period for all gun sales
Pointless nonsense. Another do-nothing law with which Democrats are in love.
We now know Rick Scott is as pliable as any Democrat. Done with him. I know what i get with Nelson. Status quo. Scott will be the next gang of eight dupe. No thanks.
I guess we will get to see just how well restraining orders protect people when they have a very limited means of self defense. “Hi, my ex threatened to break in and kill me, I need to buy a gun for protection.” “Nah, go home he won’t do anything for at least three days.”
“The thing is that the laws were already in place with Cruz to prevent this...”
Was anyone ever able to corral Scott, hold him in place, and ask him about the above, and then demand that he respond to it?
When they needed enough room to fit their heads up their butts.
Obviously Democrats recognize that any thwarted attack on children undermines their ultimate goal of total confiscation and control of the population.
The next time the Democrats control the presidency, house and senate.
