Florida Democrat Catches Republican Lawmakers Holding Meeting About How To Lax Gun Laws
Miami-Dade’s Democratic Party Chairman just called out Florida Republicans as cowards for holding hearings today to make it even easier to get a concealed weapons permit after yesterday’s horrifying school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Chairman Juan Cuba caught GOP legislators planning a hearing for 1pm tomorrow in Tallahassee, Florida’s capitol, which includes a 98-page thick bill about agriculture (SB 740) which weakens the state’s gun laws considerably.

The Republicans proposal would make it easier for concealed weapons permits to fall into the hands of violent felons and men with histories of domestic violence, who shouldn’t be carrying weapons anyhow, but sometimes obtain them anyway.
Over half of mass shooters have a history of domestic violence, and Florida’s SB 740 would virtually hand them a presumption of innocence when seeking concealed carry permits.
