Contact your local representatives and let them know how important the 2nd ammendment and encourage them not to give into pressure to take away our constitutional rights!
UPDATE: 3/8/18
Looks like the Florida GOP-controlled House has followed suit, voting 67-50 to enact the “Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act.”
As mentioned below, the 105-page bill contains measures to both improve school security and tighten restrictions on gun ownership.
One of our readers was specifically concerned about the portion of the bill that bans bump stocks and similar devices. From the legislation:
790.222 Bump-fire stocks prohibited.—A person may not import into this state or transfer, distribute, sell, keep for sale, offer for sale, possess, or give to another person a bump fire stock. A person who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.741 775.083, or s. 775.084.
As used in this section, the term “bum fire stock” means a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device.
The question is whether there is a grandfather clause for current owners of reciprocating stocks. Doesn’t appear to be the case based on the text.
