I wanted to laugh at anti-gun Congressman Maxwell Frost’s (FL-10) antics.
While many Americans enjoyed our first week with a President who knows what day of the week it is, the same can’t be said for woke left politicians like Frost.
Florida saw our absolute worst member of our Congressional Delegation throw a temper tantrum on the floor of the House of Representatives.
As someone who used to work in our nation’s Capital, I consider the House floor to be one of my favorite hallways.
When you walk up a beautiful marble staircase, see a giant statue of Thomas Jefferson, and feel your feet sink into the worn-down marble, you are truly walking in the footsteps of our founding fathers.
Yet Congressman Maxwell Frost stomped down this hallway, almost in tears, just to whine about how President Joe Biden’s Office on Gun Control, as I called it, had been abolished.
On the second day of the new administration, Joe Biden’s new government agency, the “Office of Gun Violence Prevention,” was no longer in existence.
As a Floridian and gun owner, I felt like a kid on Christmas watching a Congressman from my state cry on the floor of the house over his gun control agency being demolished.
But as gun owners, we always know the crazy woke left will not stop on their quest for power, which always starts with taking away our firearms.
Of course, last November’s elections showed we have had enough of liberal lies when it comes to gun ownership in America.
With the election season over, it’s not good enough for gun owners to passively sit back and wait for defensive battles over the Second Amendment.
Patriots need to double down and make even more gun grabbers cry at all levels of government as we advance the Second Amendment.
Just like the new administration is coming out swinging and enforcing their mandate from voters, gun owners need to demand the same from their legislators in the Sunshine State.
You see, the gun grabbers at the so-called “Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence” gave Florida a PASSING grade of a “C” in their gun control report card.
When a rabid freedom-hating gun control organization gives Florida, a state the liberal media likes to lament as a “conservative utopia,” praise for gun control laws, something is seriously wrong with the policies dictating our gun rights.
Here is the kicker: all states surrounding us scored with F’s for their stance on gun rights, and radical gun control groups gave us a PASSING grade.
Let that sink in for a moment: A radical Bloomberg-funded gun control organization gave us their best score in the southeast.
As a college football fan, it’s embarrassing to see Florida falling behind other SEC counterparts like Georgia and Alabama in defending our Gun Rights.
Just like abolishing gun control agencies on day one in office, the best way we can rack up wins joining the rest of our southern neighbors in being despised by Gun Control Inc. is by pushing offensive fights to restore the Second Amendment.
Florida is the only Republican state in the entire country that bans Open Carry.
Again, let that fact sink in for a moment.
The political class in Tallahassee will lie to you and make you think this isn’t a big deal, but it is a BIG deal.
Not only is it insulting to every gun owner’s intelligence, but I am embarrassed to see family in Georgia or Alabama, knowing I can practice my God-given rights there, but I cannot when I am back at home in Florida.
We can quickly fix this problem, and Florida Gun Rights is here to help.
First, all lawmakers in this state must understand that gun owners are done with token gestures like passing Constitutional Carry without legalizing Open Carry.
We demand clean bills that legalize Open Carry like every red state nationwide.
Second, we want a repeal of Red Flag Gun Confiscation – passed by 67 “A”-rated NRA Republicans. It’s an abomination that Florida even has this law.
