SW9racer 262 Posted March 9, 2018 We need to affect the primaries, always vote “R” in the general. The dems always pull the D lever whether they like or not. Unless we start doing the same, always pull the R, then we will become extinct. This is why they cave, the R cannot always count on the R voter.

JohnnyB 4,328 Posted March 9, 2018 I think this one was a step too far by stripping 18 to 21 year old citizens of the 2A rights! I think SCOTUS will have to hear this one if a lower federal court does not act to stop it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It goes to the definition of “ people “ if individuals become “ the people “ at 21 then it needs to be across the board. Driving, drinking, draft, smoking, voting etc.. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you can’t make adult choices on smoking and drinking, you cannot make adult choices on voting or marriage. Pick an age, and deal with it across the board. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted March 10, 2018 Well, Scott's current term doesn't end until Jan. 2019. So, unless he resigns the Gov's office, he won't be a US Sen. candidate in 2018. I therefore wonder when he will be running... This is exactly the time he would be running. His term ends Jan 2019 and new Senate term begins Jan 2019. I believe it is set that Scott is looking to run for Nelson’s seat. Hopefully he can be defeated in the primary.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was not sure that he could run while still in office as Gov, but, apparently, he can. Although, if he gets that far (and that's a huge "if"), he might have to resign the governorship in early Jan. 2019, if the US Senate is sworn in before the FL Gov. Elect is. But the betting is he won't make it past the primaries. Not if the FL 2A community has anything to say about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donobieus 15 Posted March 11, 2018 Might just be me, but I'm kinda thinking that the Gov signed this bill knowing it wont pass Constitutional muster. He gets credit for doing something and in the end it gets knocked down anyways? NRA filed suit within an hour of his signing it so they must think its a slam dunk. Win/win politically?

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358 Posted March 11, 2018 If handguns are already forbidden for under 21, why wouldn’t forbidding semi rifles also pass constitutional muster? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For exactly that reason. When the age for handguns was increased the court could say “but they can still get rifles” so it’s not unconstitutional. Now every firearm in FL is 21+ and that logic no longer holds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're already organizing to ensure his political future ends with his present position. Him and all the other RINOs that went turncoat on us. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I read the bill that passed, NO firearms under 21. What did you see that tells you they can still get shotguns or bolt action rifles? LEOs and active duty military are exempt from the restriction but I see no differentiation between semi-autos and rifles and shotguns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
