”Today, @flotus and I encourage all Americans to cherish and honor the memory of those we have lost through acts of love and service. We will hold Parkland forever in our hearts.”
Here’s a thought, how about we honor their memory by actually doing something about too many guns in the wrong hands.
Does trump even have a soul to pierce?
Florida’s red flag law, which confiscates firearms from people who have committed gun violence or are determined to be at-risk, has removed hundreds of guns from Florida homes but has been enforced inconsistently throughout the state, according to an investigation by The Associated Press.
The measure was a bipartisan effort passed by the Florida legislature after a man killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., two years ago.
Under this law, police agencies file a request to a civil judge citing evidence that the person in question has engaged in suspicious behavior. A judge then holds a hearing and decides whether to confiscate their weapons for a year, after which police agencies are able to renew the request. Though the law has been successful in removing guns from potentially dangerous individuals, the level of enforcement depends on the city and county level, with some places reporting not using it at all.
