There is no hiding that I am a 2nd Amendment supporter. Unfortunately, that being said, there is a blanket supposition that I (read anyone with the same convictions) am against ANY negative regulatory changes, regarding firearms.
I haven't read the bill nor do I have any knowledge of what other types of rifles Florida prohibits those under 21, from purchasing.
However . . . I just wish they would focus on prosecuting criminals who commit crimes with firearms SEVERELY and without the possibility of tossing out gun charges.
I would like to see laws criminally charging those who provided the weapons, to the offenders, with the same severe penalties as if they, themselves, committed the crime, too.
Stolen gun . . . adds 15 years to any sentence.
I'm tired of firearm offenses either being dropped or reduced, during plea negotiations.
Simply put: Don't ask for more restrictive firearm purchase laws when you fail to enforce the ones, currently on the books, enacted to allegedly keep the public safe and prevent crime.
This opinion is NOT an endorsement of the Florida AR-15 bill.
