(44,503 posts)Thankfully, it appears the courts have put the kibash on the horrid law:

However, this doesn't excuse the greater point (to which you refuse to address) the disturbing fact that we have gun lobbyists writing bills and literally delivering them to the governor's office for signature.
And that this horrid law was even enforced in the first place is inexcusable.
This is classic NRA and gun lobby M.O. here in Florida: intimidation. The bills they write and have passed all wrench of threats and extortion against ordinary professionals who simply seek to do their jobs.
Take for example the bill that passed the Florida legislature that actually threatens criminal charges against government officials who seek to investigate environmental concerns at gun ranges:

Or the law that threatens to fine and remove from office any local government officials who seek to enact local gun restrictions, including gun access in public government buildings:

This is thuggish behavior worthy of the mafia.
Whatever. The NRA is your problem as a vocal gun enthusiast. You own them. They are the albatross around your neck. Try to disassociate yourself from them at the end of the day, but you own them.
