TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a proposed constitutional amendment seeking to ban possession of assault-style weapons does not meet requirements to go before voters.

Supporters of the Ban Assault Weapons NOW initiative did not submit enough petition signatures to make it on the 2020 ballot but needed support from the Supreme Court to go before voters in 2022. The group began the initiative after 17 people were killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

We need to sweep out the FL GOP! They are pure evil and they are not listening to the majority of the people!

When will Floridians figure out how to vote in their best interests?

1. Why couldn't they get enough signatures.

Is it that hard? Since 2018?

3. The gun lobby is very strong in Fla.. The NRA is planted way up the politicians butt holes..

Now if lobbyist started getting lead poisoning like the common folk, things would change quick.
YMMV
