Frequently Asked Questions

What does Florida Senate Bill SB 370 propose?

Florida SB 370 aims to ban semi-automatic rifles commonly referred to as 'assault weapons,' magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, and would mandate the registration of firearms. This bill targets popular firearms and standard capacity magazines used by law-abiding citizens.

Why are AR-15s targeted by legislation like SB 370?

According to Colion Noir, AR-15 style rifles are often targeted due to their appearance, which can seem 'scary' to individuals unfamiliar with firearms. This is despite their use in a very small percentage of overall gun violence, suggesting a focus on aesthetics over actual data.

What is the significance of the 'Come and Take It' flag in this context?

The 'Come and Take It' flag, referencing the 1835 Battle of Gonzales during the Texas Revolution, is used as a historical symbol of defiance against perceived government overreach and disarmament. It represents a spirit of resistance to unconstitutional confiscation.

What is the argument against exempting police from gun bans?

Critics argue that exempting law enforcement officers from firearm bans, while restricting civilians, creates an unequal application of the law. This practice is seen as infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens while maintaining the same tools for government agents.
