Maybe he really is screwing around with the second A, & there is every possibility that he's doing it on purpose. He dons the role of the Loose Cannon Donald Trump to create a backlash. Them he can step back when there is the expected outcry, and say, "Whoa! Hey clearly This what the American people really want!"
From that point forward he can boldly support the Second Amendment, claiming a popular mandate.
Popular mandate like supporting "red flag" gun legislation that circumvents due process? Or as he put it, "take the guns, due process later".
Or raising the age to buy a firearm to 21?
Oh yeah he supports arming teachers... and Florida gets this regulation with a Republican Majority in the house and senate and a Republican Governor:
Does the New Florida Law Arm Teachers?
The answer is largely no, with a few exceptions. The law creates a voluntary program that could allow school staff members who complete
132 hours of firearm safety and proficiency training to carry guns, but staff members who “exclusively perform classroom duties as classroom teachers” are prohibited from participating in the program.
Exceptions to that prohibition include:
- Teachers who are in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program
- Teachers who are current service members
- Teachers who are current or former law enforcement officers
School district participation in the program must be approved by local school board members and the sheriff’s office.
132 hours..... 132 hours.... 132 hours.... let that sink in for a minute. That's 17 eight hour training days. Let me break that down monetarily.... I do a few day long defensive pistol/rifle courses a year. The professional instruction in a group setting is roughly $200 per class. That's $3,400 total for that training. lets say that's 300 average round count per class @ $0.20 a round.... another $1,000 on ammo alone.
Guess how many hours to be a licensed professional armed security guard in Florida... hmmm lets take a look:
Additional Requirements for Class G Firearms License
In most cases, a security guard who will carry firearms will need to complete a 28 hour course to earn his or her Class G license. The course will be taught by a professional who holds a Class K firearm instructor license.
The course will teach a state-mandated curriculum (
http://www.freshfromflorida.com/Div...ms/G-License-Classroom-and-Range-Requirements). Legal aspects of use will comprise 12 hours. Safety and mechanics will comprise another 11 hours; this portion will culminate in a written test.
Up to eight hours will be credited for firearms qualification; this portion will include practical exercises and qualifying rounds.
Shall I continue?
In case you'e wondering why I'm hammering this hard.... this is a GUN FORUM and I'm pretty savagely a one issue voter due to my geographical location.
