Florida AG Challenges Ballot Measure That Would Outlaw Most Semi-Auto Firearms in the State

The current ballot initiative that would outlaw all “assault weapons”. What’s the initiative’s definition of an “assault weapon?” There’s the rub.


The measure would ban possession of semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. Semiautomatic would be defined by the measure as “any weapon which fires a single projectile or a number of ball shots through a rifled or smooth bore for each single function of the trigger without further manual action required.” Assault weapon would be defined by the measure as “any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition at once, either in a fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition feeding device.” The definition of assault weapon would exclude handguns under the measure.

Keep poking the bear.

I think the only thing that will make gun owners react with Force is something like this, and even then I question whether people would do anything about it.

If an action like this was backed up by confiscations I could see things possibly turning ugly. Imagine if any of the Rally's we attended in Albany were with armed citizens instead of unarmed.

Florida is being ruined by all the liberals moving to South Florida.

They bring their failed progressive attitudes and ideas with them.

Florida from I-4 northward is pretty conservative.

We used to say "you cannot amend the Constitution with simple Laws" but look where New York, California, New Jersey, etc., are now.

Until SCOTUS upholds the Constitution, or The People decide to enforce upholding the Constitution, our Rights will continue to be infringed.

It's reaching a point where just voting them out, providing that is even possible anymore, isn't enough. These tyrants need to be brought up on charges, tried, convicted, and incarcerated (or hanged).

Bad behavior is never changed by ignoring, tolerating, or condoning.

Well... that's every modern sporting rifle, including pistol caliber carbines, that accept magazines. After all, as long as a model of magazine that holds more than 10 rounds exists, all rifles that are "capable of accepting" that magazine would be rendered illegal.
