I am proud of our state, too, IronMike.


Thanks for the post, and here's an excerpt from that article:


"“We are all blessed to live in the free state of Florida where our Second Amendment rights are valued and protected, but Democrats in Washington continue to try to chip away at these rights – and we must stay vigilant,” said Simpson in a statement. “The ‘Florida Arms and Ammo Act’ draws a line in the sand and tells multi-national progressive financial institutions, and their allies in Washington, that they cannot covertly create a backdoor firearm registry of Floridians – or else.”

Zephyrhills Republican Sen. Danny Burgess and Palm City Republican Rep. John Snyder are the bill sponsors. The pair, alongside Simpson and Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, characterized the practice of tracking sales at gun stores as a danger to liberty and privacy. What’s more, they warned of the potential for a “backdoor firearm registry” by financial corporations. State law prohibits firearm registries.

“This is the United States of America,” said Burgess. “You don’t get penalized for exercising a Constitutional right. The Second Amendment is non-negotiable, and here in Florida, we are going to fight to protect the rights of Floridians.”"
