And NOW What?
GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
We’re the Only Ones Ignorant Enough
Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
Police Responses to Florida Open Carriers Show Need for Direction from DeSantis
There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
Gun Owners Could Publicly Put ‘Former Republican’ Jolly on Spot for Betraying Them
So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”
Killer Instinct
An Age-Old Question
The text of the Second Amendment encompasses the purchase of firearms by 18-to20-year-olds, as the en banc majority below did not dispute, Pet.App.43a–44a, and as the majority was also forced to acknowledge, “the Founding era lacked express prohibitions on the purchase of firearms” by 18-to-20-year-olds. Id. at 30a. Indeed, the eighteenth century laws that come closest to reflecting a “Founding-era policy on age and firearms”—militia laws throughout the Nation obliging eighteen-year-olds to muster for militia service bearing firearms they were legally obligated to acquire for themselves—in fact “reflect the policy that eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds should be armed.” Id. at 159a (Brasher, J., dissenting). That should have been the beginning and the end of any suggestion that Florida’s age ban “is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). [More]
With DeSantis backing NRA, what leg is Mark Glass still standing on?

The New Shmoos
Who Allows Them to Get Away with It?
Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]
That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.
Then again, what the hell do I know?

A Right Delayed
Define ‘First-Class Rights’
An Age-Old Question
Right Now It’s Just Noise
REPORTER: Why are you pushing to loosen firearm restrictions in Florida?
DESANTIS: “Well, I would say I am vindicating people’s constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. We always have an obligation to do that.” [More]
Who’s the idiot “reporter”?
And when are the Vichycons in the Florida legislature going to give DeSantis something to sign?

A bill to be entitled An act relating to the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms; creating s. 790.34, F.S.; prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms in public areas; providing criminal penalties; providing exceptions; providing an effective date. [More]
Don’t worry, predators, there’ll still be plenty of “gun-free zones” being enforced…

Holiday Road

That’s one way to mitigate the “Trump slump.”

‘News’ You Can Wipe With
Senator Tina Polsky Files Multiple Bills Addressing Gun Safety [More]
By presenting what amounts to a gun-grabber press release and accepting and promulgating that any of this will result in “gun safety,” FNN “News” shows itself to be nothing more than a worthless propaganda parrot, not to be taken seriously, and certainly not to be believed.

Not Helping
With Republicans Like These
Trump hails Florida Dem’s decision to ditch party, join GOP [More]
I’m trying to figure out how including this cow who has pledged to “stand up to the NRA and fight for a ban on military style assault rifles and the high capacity ammunition that make them so lethal” will help…
Anybody else getting a Professor Harold Hill of politics vibe…?

With Republicans Like These
Albritton, R-Wauchula, told reporters that as a life-long and consistent supporter of law enforcement, he will oppose any open carry legislation in 2025: “I trust my law enforcement officials. They oppose it … and I stand with them today in opposition.” [More]
Because after all, who works for whom?
He’s in a solidly Republican district, the primary was canceled, and he’s got his seat ’til ’28, so what’s he care what you think?
