Gun Rights

The full House okayed the proposal to lower the gun purchasing age from 21 to 18. Now, the bill heads to the Senate for review.

Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell held an online press conference Monday about proposals coming up in the Legislature this week.

Fine filed Senate Bill 814 Tuesday.

It’s part of a Republican push to protect 2nd amendment rights.

Florida gun owners could save money this summer.

The law takes effect on July 1.

Supporters say the measure aims to protect property rights as well as keep neighbors safe.

The court will hear a legal battle over a 2018 law that bars sales of rifles and other long guns to people under 21. The NRA says the law is unconstitutional.

A proposal to ban merchant codes for gun and ammunition sales in Florida is ready for the full House. It’s already been approved by the Senate, largely along party lines.

An approved measure in the Florida legislature targets yet-to-be-enacted plans by some credit-card companies to create a separate “merchant category code” for sales at firearm businesses.
