| Florida Gov. Rick Scott Pushes Gun Confiscation Orders, Opposes Arming Teachers |
| 2018-02-24 |
| [Breitbart] Gov. Rick Scott (R) is pushing firearm confiscation orders and stands opposed to the suggestion that teachers should be armed for school safety. CNN reports that Scott is pushing a "Violent Threat Restraining Order," which are similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders in that they a designed to secure court orders to confiscate firearms following a family member’s complaint. It is difficult to see how such orders‐designed to be triggered by family requests‐would have been effective against Nikolas Cruz. After all, the family with which he was staying repeatedly called the police on him in November 2017 but refused to file charges when sheriff’s deputies arrived. A member of the family with which Cruz was staying explained away Cruz’s erratic behavior by saying he "had been suffering significantly from the loss of his mother" earlier in the month. Scott is also pushing a bump stock ban, "tougher background checks," more stringent rules against the mentally ill, and a ban on purchasing or possessing firearms by anyone "subject to an injunction for protection against stalking, cyberstalking, dating violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, or domestic violence. |

| #3 What is beginning to emerge in Broward County Florida appears to be a tragic example of selective enforcement, based on race. Mind the crime and incarceration statistics. Our only industry is tourism and we don't need any Malmo, Sweden stories. BTW, any cash estate (estimated to be somewhat large) that the murdering, nutcase Cruz may have inherited from his deceased parents should be forfeited and ordered split among the families of the victims, NOT his related caretakers. They didn't file charges or take appropriate legal actions, they are part of the problem. |

| #2 How does any new law matter when the police won't enforce the ones we have? |

| #1 "Where are my people going? I must find them for I am their leader and must get out in front of them." I'm beginning to see the advantages in not having any principles other than self-serving ones. |
