Florida Politics reports:
Eight months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 2018 ban on bump stocks that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at machine gun-like speeds, Florida should do the same, says state Rep. Toby Overdorf. Overdorf, a Palm City Republican, has filed legislation (HB 6013) to repeal a ban on the controversial gun accessories, which have been illegal in Florida for nearly seven years.
Florida’s ban on bump stocks went into effect March 9, 2018, less than one month after the deadliest school shooting in the state’s history. It was part of a sweeping gun safety package, the “Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act,” the Republican-controlled Legislature approved. President Donald Trump’s first administration imposed a national bump stock ban nine months later.
