What is Wrong with Florida SPB 7022, The Gun Confication and Banning Bill


I am a parent of two daughters in a Florida High School. Like many, I was deeply saddened by the tragedy at Parkland. I was also frightened that those students were left without protection.


You are now considering bills that were create by entities whose main focus is the elimination of all privately held firearms. You are, voting on California's gun ban bill. In as few words as I can, let me share what I have discovered about the proposed bills.


The Parkland shooting would have been prevented if the local Sheriff and/or the FBI had followed their own procedures. Only the arming of teachers and other School personnel would have helped save lives but not prevented the shooting.


The fervor to "do something" is not an organic, grassroots movement. Powerful forces have been pouring millions into forcing Republicans to do what Obama and the Democrats would not or could not do when they were in power. The CNN Town hall was not a fair showing of how survivors of the Parkland shooting feel. The broadcast that CNN showed was preceded by a pep rally where Broward County Sherriff Israel set the tone for the broadcast.


Sherriff Israel, who has political ambitions, was responsible for the killer not being charged with crimes that would have stopped his actions. A 2013 policy change by the Broward County school board and the sheriff’s office to discontinue police referrals for a dozen infractions ranging from drug use to assault probably let Nikolas Cruz slip through the cracks.


THE RISK PROTECTION ORDERS


This is the gun confiscation idea, with due process latter, that you may have heard about, except there is no due process in SPB 7022. The second, fourth and sixth Amendments are violated by execution of the Ex parte Risk Protection order. The respondent can be involuntary committed, lose their right to buy or possess firearms, lose their conceal carry rights, and lose their property without having committed a crime or had a trial. In order to vacate the order the respondent must do something not seen in America since the Salem Witch trials; they must not only prove their innocence but also prove that they are not a threat, whatever that means. SPB 7020 mandates that  " The respondent shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent does not pose a significant danger of causing personal injury to himself or herself or others by having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm or ammunition." There is no jury of one's peers deciding each case, but it may be some overburdened social worker who is the judge, jury, and executioner in these cases.



Here is analysis of the Risk protection orders in the proposed Federal bill which are almost identical to SPB 7022 (Remember SPB 7022 was not created in Florida) "Second Amendment Repeal Act" is expected to have a star-chamber procedure where police, relatives, neighbors, or government officials can get a secret (ex parte) order to take away your guns.


The procedure was devised by California, in coordination to billionaire Michael Bloomberg. 


The first time you would know that your gun rights have been taken away is when police arrive to ransack your house and, if you resist, arresting or killing you and your family. This is already happening in repressive states, although, not surprisingly, the press does not choose to report it.


In addition, although you have the right to an after-the-fact hearing, few victims have the money to hire the attorneys and expert witnesses necessary to take advantage of this option. Compounding the problem, judges are loath to second-guess themselves -- and risk public condemnation."


 


BANNING BUMP STOCKS


You can ban bump stock if you need some legislation to show you care. It is somewhat silly because you can go on the internet and learn how to make a bump stock with a belt. However, SPB 7022 does not just ban bump stocks.


From Gun Owners of America: "A Trojan Horse bump stock ban. The so-called "bump stock" ban that would outlaw anything which "accelerates the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm. We've already seen how this language would ban polished bolts, match triggers, and high-capacity magazines. Tripods and scopes also allow a shooter to fire accurately at an accelerated rate. 


And, since pistol grips allow for faster and more accurate fire, any semi-automatic which has one could, under an anti-gun administration, also be banned. And also any semi-automatic handgun. 


If you doubt this, ask yourself this question:  Do you think, for a minute, that Barack Obama would not have done this, had he had this legislation available to him?"


 


RAISING THE AGE TO PURCHASE A RIFLE TO 21


It is immoral to punish a hold group of people for the act of a single individual in that group. You can pass this part of the bill if you do not mind ending you political career. You will not get many votes for passing it and you will lose a great many if you do. For example you would bar every hunter, competitive shooter, and the 12 to 18 % of your base that have the second amendment as their pivotal issue. You do know, of course, that 18 year olds are citizens who can vote. Of course, you will have to rise the age for military service to 21 as well and forbid current service men and women from buying rifles when they return from combat overseas. Just remember to thank them for their service as you deny their right to own a firearm.

I didn’t want to post about this, because frankly, it is exhausting. I’ve been having this exact same argument for my entire adult life. It is not an exaggeration when I say that I know pretty much exactly every single thing an anti-gun person can say. I’ve heard it over and over, the same old…

I sent this to 30 Florida State Senators and only 1 read it, It doesn't matter. We are getting gun confiscation in Florida with a Republican-led legislature. Why waste my time.

The arming teachers is still in the Senate bill which passed, along with all the bad stuff. However, it forbids teachers from bringing the firearms into the classroom

I'm infuriated at these RINO traitors for caving so quickly on this.
