    5 out 6 voters in Florida want more gun control. This isn't a partisan issue. 56% of Republicans are for universal background check in Florida. What's the excuse for doing the polar opposite of what your electorate wants. You can keep deflecting but this is what's wrong with politics today. Folks like DeSantis, trump, aoc, bernie, nd these celeb politicians care more about ratings and social media engagement. It's just bullshit.

    Politicians should be doing the bidding of the public and not the lobbyist aka the NRA in this situation. It blows my mind that folks think DeSantis is anything but a corporate tool.

    Keep deflecting

    I'm not a voter (yet), but if you know my posting history, I am more hardcore pro gun control than any Democrat.

    This crap just happens all over the country; it is a bigger issue than one particular governor. Although I do agree with you that loosening the rules even more is dumbassery at the highest level, and inexcusable.

    Left is a pretty big tent. Going to backfire if he made it out of the primaries. Doubt it's going to have the impact he thinks it would.

    People that storm government buildings because their idiot leader lost are deplorable.

    Agreed, but the ones who actually did this are a small fraction of the overall group. Not that the other ones aren't idiots either, but I don't think violent members of Antifa are any better, and they are also connected tissue to leftist ideologues, just like the Capitol stormers are connected tissue to MAGA dumbasses.

    Yes the people who stormed the Capitol are a small percentage of the MAGA movement yet we see even here many who feel those people are being treated unfairly legally and leading GOP figure saying they would pardon them. I don’t see many saying that violent Antifa protesters are being treated unfairly or major Democrats saying those or even people convicted during the riots following George Floyd’s killing should be pardoned.

    Yes, and Hillary Clinton never said all Trump supporters were deplorables. Aside from those that stormed the capitol, there are many who support what they did.

    Anyway, the outrage over "destroy woke leftism" seems misplaced to me.

    You wouldn't bat an eyelid if one of "your guys" were to say "destroy aggressive MAGA ideology".

    And that would be fair enough.

    Haha I watched that video the other day, in a different context. Memes spread so fast.

    Where does his tweet say that the shooting happened because of that bill? Or is he just pointing out that while these events keep happening, the governor is loosening regulations?

    It didn’t answer my question + California has half the amount of gun related deaths per capita as Florida.

    Looks like Massachusetts has the lowest gun mortality rate. Strange, @astros123 told me I should do more research - they had a Republican governor for 8+ years...supposedly the root of all problems.

    California in same bracket as Florida. Lots of worse states.

    It's also one of the most heavily regulated states for just about everything. A Republican from Massachusetts isn't the same as one from Mississippi.
