So the first petition bans any semi-auto rifle that can hold 10 or more rounds, which includes every detachable magazine rifle built, many tube magazine rimfire rifles, and possibly semi-auto shotguns that can fire Aguila mini-shells. So the nonsensical term "assault weapon" morphs yet again... What is not clear is what happens if somebody travels into Florida with one of these prohibited weapons. Based on the language of the petition, it appears that you can still own a Glock with 33 round magazines, or a "firearm" with high capacity magazines.
The second petition essentially turns Florida into a police state. It strips away the right of self-defense, designates any firearm with a capacity of >7 rounds as a "military-style" weapon, bans "sniper rifles", bans guns that can "in any manner" to be modified into full auto, compels the surrender of these firearms without compensation, and enacts bans for people who are bad drivers. |

well, just darn.
I guess the only thing to do now, is to punish all of the republican florida legislature, by pushing to not re-elect any of them, for not passing pro gun constitutional amendments that would have protected gun rights in the past. |

I think these might be two separate petitions?
I don't see them going for speeding violations and domestic violence "investigations" nullifying constitutional rights. My congressman isn't that stupid. He wants to violate my human rights in a slightly more deniable way. |

Dope is also gaining some serious capital too for their petition.
Regulate Marijuana in a Manner Similar to Alcohol to Establish Age, Licensing, and Other Restrictions Regulates marijuana (hereinafter "cannabis") for limited use and growing by persons twenty-one years of age or older. State shall adopt regulations to issue, renew, suspend, and revoke licenses for cannabis cultivation, product manufacturing, testing and retail facilities. Local governments may regulate facilities' time, place and manner and, if state fails to timely act, may license facilities. Does not affect compassionate use of low-THC cannabis, nor immunize federal law violations. This will get the Leftist vote out in force. Plus the Presidential Election and the fact that felons now have the right to vote. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If republicans had any fucking sense, they would decriminalize marijuana and take so much wind out of the commie fucks' sails! I've been saying it for years, especially when it comes up on ballot initiatives, that it drives otherwise lazy liberal dipshits (thricely redundant) to the polls. I know they're all in one giant circle jerk together but republicans always seem to try and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Its just a game, and we end up losing. |
