Florida's Governor

[oldshadow]

Sounds like more then one department fucked up.

What we need is an open investigation.

Blaming the school shooting on the Mueller investigation was probably one of the scummiest, most obviously self-serving exploitations of a tragedy ever.

Agreed.

Gov. Scott will be running for Senate in November against Sen. Nelson. He self funded $100M+ in order to buy Governor's elections, will probably attempt the same for the Senate seat.

Self funded 100M?

Where does a governor get this kind of money?

Rick Scott is an NRA puppet. He is attempting to deflect blame from his own failure to do anything at all. He is a spineless piece of shit.

On, Friday, June 20, 2014, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed 5 pro-gun bills into law. A strong supporter of the Second Amendment, Governor Rick Scott has now signed more pro-gun bills into law -- in one term -- than any other Governor in Florida history.

The bills are as follows:

HB-89 Threatened Use of Force by Rep. Neil Combee/Rep. Katie Edwards and Sen. Greg Evers

SB-424 To Stop Insurance Discrimination Against Gun Owners by Sen. Tom Lee and Rep. Matt Gaetz

HB-7029 Zero Tolerance/Pop Tart Bill by Rep. Dennis Baxley and Sen. Greg Evers

HB-523 Concealed Weapon/Firearms Licenses Fast Track by Rep. James Grant and Sen. Wilton Simpson

HB-525 Protection of Concealed Weapons/Firearms License Holder Information by Rep. James Grant and Sen. Wilton Simpson

A news article on Guns.com titled Florida governor signs five pro-gun measures into law, including “Pop Tart” and “Warning Shot” bills by Chris Eger on June 21, discusses these bills. To read this article, please click here.

It was a great session, marred only by the defeat of SB-296/HB-209 by Sen. Jeff Brandes and Rep. Heather Fitzenhagen. This was the bill to allow law-abiding citizens to carry their firearms with them during a mandatory evacuation under a declared state of emergency, rather than leave them in their homes for theft by looters or destruction by hurricanes or other disasters.

However, the Florida Sheriffs Association and numerous anti-gun sheriffs fought to kill the bill.

They were not successful in their efforts in the House, because Representatives put your safety and your rights above anti-gun sheriffs who didn't support the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

However, in the Senate, Sen. Jack Latvala became the champion of the Florida Sheriffs Association and supported their efforts to kill this gun owner protection bill. Sen. Latvala pulled together a coalition of Republican Senators who were willing to sacrifice your rights and to pander to anti-gun sheriffs and help kill the bill.

Remember these names. Some are up for re-election this year. Some are not up for re-election until 2016. Do not forget them.

Sen. Jack Latvala (R) SD-20
Sen. Charlie Dean (R) SD-5
Sen. Nancy Detert (R) SD-28
Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla (R) SD-40
Sen. Rene Garcia (R) 38
Sen. Denise Grimsley (R) SD-21
Sen. Alan Hays (R) SD-11
Sen. John Legg (R) SD-17
Sen. Garrett Richter (R) SD-23

And how does any of the above not passing stop this shooter?

All I see is more laws protecting legal gun owners protecting themselfs and their family.

He is an NRA puppet, bought and paid for and he is responsible for state law enforcement agencies and their failures to act. He is trying to deflect blame to the FBI to distract from the fact that the NRA owns his booty.

The NRA is owned by the voting citizens and is paid by them to protect them.

It's a proven power the citizens can use to protect their rights and punish politicians that try and take those rights.

I do agree the local and maybe the state law enforcement might have fucked up. Also maybe the FBI fucked up. More information is needed to know what any of them could have legally done.

And my other post stands as I see nothing wrong with the law or how those laws helped the shooter.

If the governor of Florida wants the director of the fucking FBI to resign over this, he should be more than happy to leave politics forever himself. Anything less is nothing but partisan hypocrisy.
