Florida lawmakers have reportedly rejected an attempt to consider a bill that would ban assault rifles, less than a week after the shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school.
The Florida House on Tuesday voted 36-71 against a motion to consider a bill to ban assault rifles and large capacity magazines, according to the Associated Press.

This was simply a move by Democrats to get Republicans on record against an assault weapons ban which they will use for fundraising and against the vulnerable ones in this year's election.


The danger isn't that the liberal Democrats are going to pass a massive gun grabbing bill at the moment, the danger is that the Republicans are going to pass a more "moderate" gun control measure.
