Many teachers and school children are still recovering from the Florida shooting. The incident left 17 dead and many nursing injuries.
The survivors and supporters had begun to push for gun control on assault weapons. This however didn’t produce any real consideration from lawmakers.
The President made it clear he was willing to do a modest adjustment to the current bill, but that was all.
Lawmakers in Florida seemed more interested in legislation in regards to pornography. That wasn’t a bad thing, but the more pressing issue was gun control. That had proven to be a life threatening situation that needed some sort of amendment.
No To Gun Control
The Florida House of Representatives chose to ignore the bill that called for more gun control. The situation left many individuals hurt. To them it seemed that the loss of loved ones wasn’t important to lawmakers.
“Unfortunately, just five days after 17 people were gunned down at a Florida school, the Florida House just passed a bill that declares pornography a ‘public health risk,’” state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith said.
He added “basically, what they have determined is that these are the Republican priorities in 2018: Wasting our time with debate and legislation that declares porn as a health threat, meanwhile we can’t even get a single debate, vote, or hearing on anything related to assault weapons.”
