Florida’s gun control status quo is about to get a shakeup.
State Representative Mike Hill just introduced HB 175 (https://weartv.com/news/local/hb-175-rep-mike-hill-files-bill-that-would-undo-new-florida-gun-laws) which would roll back the gun control package former Governor Rick Scott signed into law in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas Shooting.
HB 175 repeals the following:
The unconstitutional mandate that forbids millions of law-abiding adults age 18-21 from purchasing a firearm.
Red flag gun confiscation orders that have already been used to strip hundreds (https://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2018/07/450_people_in_florida_ordered.html) of Floridians of their firearms without due process.
The waiting period on firearms purchases that delay many individuals the right to protect themselves and their families.
Not only would HB 175 correct the anti-gun shenanigans from 2018, but it will also serve as a springboard for other pro-gun legislation to emerge.
Gun owners should keep an eye on what’s happening in Florida. With new Governor Ron Desantis, who stated that he would have vetoed (https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolynmcclanahan/2018/08/29/health-care-gun-control-and-the-environment-will-rule-the-florida-governor-race/#3aa9a1266c32) Scott’s gun grab, we may see a strong pushback against gun control.
Time will only tell if Hill and other pro-gun representatives can muster enough support to repeal Rick Scott’s gun grab. Nevertheless, the 2019 Florida State Legislature will be host to one of the most closely watched state fights against gun control.
