As riots ravage America’s cities and police departments are having their budgets slashed and ranks thinned, gun control measures are still being advanced that would deprive law-abiding citizens the right to self-defense.

One such measure was thankfully prevented in our State of Florida on Thursday June 4th, 2020 in which the Florida Supreme Court ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment seeking to ban possession of assault-style weapons does not meet requirements to go before voters this year.

There were only 200 petitions (not a typo, only 200 petitions) submitted to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office for review as part of a ballot initiative to put on the 2020 election ballot to ban the sale of “military-grade” weapons.

The Florida Supreme Court, by a vote of 4 to 1,  struck down the weakly supported proposed amendment citing “misleading” language in the proposal as it failed to distinguish between the weapon itself and the owner’s possession of the weapon.
