Florida GOP On President Obama’s Actions On Gun Sales

Jeb Bush: "When I am president of the United States, I will repeal Obama’s anti-gun executive orders on Day One of my administration." 
Marco Rubio: “It undermines the Second Amendment and it will do nothing to keep people safe."
Dennis Ross: "The President is employing false rhetoric about loopholes in our gun laws to stoke fear and as a means to placate 
his political base."
 Todd Wilcox: “The idea that disarming law-abiding citizens will make us a safer nation is a lie that liberals continue to tell."
Carlos Lopez-Cantera: "President Obama and his Washington cronies will do anything to advance their own political agenda and restrict our 2nd Amendment rights."
----------
His efforts only nibble around the edges of the problem and pose no threat to Second Amendment rights to bear arms. . The best approach would be for Congress to act, but it refuses to stand up to the gun rights lobby even with overwhelming public support for sensible reforms.

Florida GOP: Father-Son Duo Don Gaetz Of Niceville And Matt Gaetz of Fort Walton Beach

The Florida GOP is downright excited by two new permissive gun measures likely to pass in the upcoming legislative session. Never mind opposition from police chiefs, college presidents, campus police, professors and student organizations.seems hell-bent on adopting a campus carry bill, plus, there’s an open carry bill, which would allow Floridians with a concealed-weapons permit in Florida — all 1.4 million of them  to carry to carry their guns openly, anywhere they’re already allowed to carry concealed weapons. here and here 
University of South Florida-Nielsen Sunshine State Survey last summer found 48 percent of Floridians would favor, instead, more restrictive gun laws, while only 7 percent thought Florida gun regulations were “too restrictive.” (Another 42 percent considered existing laws “about right”). An overwhelming 73 percent opposed campus carry. But lawmakers consider gun rights sacred stuff in Florida.

Faith Olivia Babis: How people should respond to open-carry gun-rights activists

We should all leave. Immediately!
Leave the food on the table in the restaurant. 
Leave the groceries in the cart, in the aisle. 
Stop talking or engaging in the exchange. Just leave,  unceremoniously,

and fast.


But here is the key part: don’t pay. 
Stopping to pay in the presence of a person with a gun means risking your and your loved ones’ lives; money shouldn’t trump this. It doesn’t matter if you ate the meal. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just received food from the deli counter that can’t be resold. It doesn’t matter if you just got a haircut. Leave. If the business loses money, so be it. They can make the activists pay. here
