Florida GOP Matt Gaetz's Crusade to Flood Florida With More Firearms
He’s pushing legislation to allow concealed weapons on state college campuses, and to let permit-holders openly carry their handguns in stores and restaurants. He said these are rights “granted not by government but by God.” here
Gaetz’s pronouncement left theologians scratching their heads, because guns aren’t mentioned anywhere in scriptures. Firearms didn’t exist when the Bible was written, and there’s no reference in either testament to “popping a cap in thine heathen ass.”

Rick Scott: Mostly False
"We have the highest funding in (the) K-12 system in the history of the state."
The state's total education budget is at an all-time high of $19.7 billion. But enrollment is also higher than in years past. Per-pupil spending is still below historic dollar totals and remains far below equitable levels when adjusted for inflation. We rate the statement Mostly False.

Marco Rubio Will Cripple The Regulatory Power Of All Federal Agencies
At his first major speech on energy policy at BOC Water Hydraulics in Salem, Ohio, where he spent considerable time criticizing the Environmental Protection Agency. if elected,
----------
He will immediately stop the Clean Power Plan, a set of carbon pollution standards for existing power plants issued by the EPA
----------
He would simplify the permitting process for oil and gas pipelines.
----------
The EPA isn’t the only federal environmental agency that Rubio aspires to bring down in size and scope. The Florida senator mentioned that there are at least 10 agencies that regulate the energy industry, which he says are way too many. That’s why he’d attempt to “cripple” the regulatory power of all federal agencies.
----------
"Marco Rubio’s plan promises to protect big oil and the Koch brothers, instead of growing clean energy and protecting the environment.” Jessica Mackler
