The Second Amendment is Under Attack in Tallahassee - By Republicans!
January 14, 2020 8:41 AM
The sixty day 2020 session of the Florida Legislature began this morning, and our Second Amendment Rights are under SERIOUS attack!
Senate President Bill Galvano's political committee has accepted $500,000 from Michael Bloomberg's deceptively-named "Everytown for Gun Safety" - an organization that advocates outlawing guns.
Don't erroneously think Bloomberg wants nothing in return for his money. In fact, the organization admitted that the half million dollar contribution was a reward for Galvano's aggressive help passing their favored gun control law in 2018, and they look forward to him enacting even stricter gun control laws this year.
As if 2018's blatantly unconstitutional SB 7026 wasn't bad enough, Galvano has announced that he intends to attack more of our Second Amendment Rights this year. He assigned the task of further infringing upon our Rights to Senator Tom Lee, (R-Thonotosassa) who eager accepted the role.
All who respect our Constitution MUST send a message to Tallahassee to keep their hands off our Rights. This event is part of that effort. It is a non-partisan rally in support of ONE ISSUE; our Second Amendment Rights.
The fight over gun control laws is a clear battle between those who support the Constitution of the United States and those who do not. Today's Democrats are dangerous enemies of our Republic. And Republicans are unreliable fair-weather friends. We cannot trust either party to protect our Rights!
Several elected officials and gun rights advocates are scheduled to speak. I will deliver a message in support of our Constitution and serve as Master of Ceremonies. This rally will happen rain or shine. If it's raining, we'll go indoors. It's this Saturday, January 18th from 1:00pm – 4:00pm at the Santa Rosa County Administrative Complex (6495 Highway 90 in Milton). I hope to see you there!
An article in the Pensacola News Journal about this event is at https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2020/01/09/santa-rosa-county-citizens-organize-second-amendment-rally/2825604001/?fbclid=IwAR3OYCQpWQmjk_M5B2nV4IWQrcLhwGctn7W2lbXVEN8lWwJ2roTRkFpQbfc
The last line in the story ("Firearms are not legally allowed to be carried on county property.") is not accurate. Guns ARE permitted on the property. We request that any firearms be properly holstered unless the need for their use arises, in which case judicious marksmanship would be appreciated.
