Seven Rounds is now the number

Proposed referendum for Florida. Needs about 800k signatures.

Wow! Those parameters, every rifle would be banned. "Any weapon classified as a sniper rifle", like a Remington m700 with a scope?

Racer Doug14 · Dec 1, 2018

A little more reading. This should never see the light of the FL state house. Pure Bloomberg money campaign.

Fortunately for now such over-reach equals DOA.

In one of the bluest states in America, the New York SAFE Act only has like a 4% compliance rate. And that’s mostly just people choosing to ignore an onerous law. Because the further you get away from the major cities, the more people just don’t give a crap about your utopian foolishness. Its benign neglect, and most Americans are happy to ignore you until you mess with them.

Pure stupidity. Time to give my buddies in Florida a heads up to shut this nonsense down.

I'm not sure if a referendum is up to them? Of course it can be challenged legally I presume. I noted the "sniper rifle" as well. Looks like once again something written by people that have no clue what they are taking about. Imagine bolt action rifles being banned. Not sure that's going to fly. Maybe they rolled the dice to get seven too.

You're right I would think. A referendum would go straight into law, if it made it to the ballot and passed. This would strip FL citizens of their 2A right! 800,000 dumb college students would sign it.

Excessive speeding as a prohibitor? Gimme a break. :rolleyes:

Broward County alone has near 2M people. If this is for real, and has logistical backing, the signatures are not at all a problem. As noted upthread, the overreach especially wtf is a sniper rifle may be enough to legally kill it.

The FBI study of 9mm vs .45 discussed here recently on another thread had an easily overlooked statistic that is vital to the mag debate, and is borne out in almost every police involved shooting we read about:

In real life, stress situations, even trained LEO's hit their target only 2 out of 10 shots.

How is Jane Q. Public going to defend herself with 7 rounds, even if she has some training?

These people live in another dimension. Send them back.

Brenda Snipes already counted the signatures.

Do I remember similar sentiments when the 10 rnd limit suggestions came out?
Don’t tell me ... .gov and .leo are exempt? No offense meant.

Off to the range ... better get some practice in on the ol’ wheel guns. They may soon want all mags, please tell me I’m wrong.

thomfantomas · Dec 1, 2018

Won't happen...

Referendums - the way to get the useful idiots to do one's bidding. Thankfully, in Florida they require 60% to pass and may also be overturned by the normal legislative amendment process.

Government agents will follow the law as long as they are not required to follow the same rules as JQP...

FL's Constitutional amendment process might require more than a simple vote by its citizens. I believe it's a dead petition.

Yeah, but I’m thinking this more in the way of being able to get the votes/signatures.

When lawmakers blatantly violate the 2a, I don't see a ton of reason why people should continue following the laws they make. The more they infringe on our inalienable 2a rights, the more people will just say "I've tried to work with these people and be law abiding, but f-it. If they won't work with us, I'll just carry whatever gun I want wherever I want anyway".
