The Florida state legislature has been filing bills and advancing previous bils to committees over the last week.

Here’s a synopsis of some of the ones I find interesting.

Research indicates that arming teachers will make children less safe. For this reason, school safety experts, teachers and law enforcement officials across the country oppose arming teachers: everytownresearch.org/arming-teacher…
The nation’s two largest organizations of education professionals, the @AFTunion and the @NEA, consistently reject the presence of guns in schools. The @NASRO_Info, the largest organization of school-based law enforcement officers, also opposes arming teachers.
Our children deserve real solutions to keep them safe from gun violence – like a criminal background check on every gun sale – not dangerous, @NRA-supported policies that put them at even higher risk while lining the pockets of gun manufacturers. #flapol #Parkland

There are lot of considerations when evaluating the amendments on Florida's ballot this year. The League of Women Voters did some research and these are their recommendations.

Short thread.
Amendment 1 ❎

Oppose. The League has a position that “no tax sources or revenue should be specified, limited, exempted, or prohibited in the Constitution.”

Amendment 2 ❎
The league opposes 2 for the same reason as 1.

“I don't make the law. I enforce the law," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference today. "The law in Florida is that people have a right to stand their ground and defend themselves when they believe they are in harm." #flapol abcnews.go.com/US/gunman-park…
Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law allows residents to use force, including deadly force, if they "reasonably believe" they are at risk of death or great bodily harm. The law specifies that people have "no duty to retreat" from their homes or vehicles if they feel threatened.
In addition, people cleared of homicide under Florida's “Stand Your Ground” law cannot be charged with a crime if a bullet they fire during the same incident injures or kills a bystander.

Last week, Alachua County became the third Florida county since the tragic shooting in Parkland - along with Leon County and Orange County - to require a background check on all gun sales occurring on publicly accessible property. #flapol

wcjb.com/content/news/A…
Prior to the Parkland shooting, at least seven Florida counties had already taken this step. Thanks to the counties that have acted since Parkland, over half of all Floridians now live in a county that has passed a background check ordinance.
Florida has no statewide law requiring a criminal background check on unlicensed gun sales, making it easy for individuals with dangerous histories to purchase guns online or at gun shows. Nationwide, an estimated 22% of gun transfers take place without a background check.

BREAKING: For over a year, the Florida Dept of Agriculture failed to conduct background checks on tens of thousands of concealed weapons permit applications. As Commissioner of Agriculture, this failure should end @adamputnam’s gubernatorial campaign and career TODAY. #flapol
.@adamputnam’s office was unable to log into the system to perform background checks during the biggest spike in permit applications in Florida’s history. As a result, criminals may have received Florida permits to carry hidden, loaded handguns in public.

tampabay.com/florida-politi…
.@adamputnam made it a priority to speed up issuing concealed weapons permits since his election in 2010. In 2012 he celebrated the state's one millionth permit, noting the time it took to process an application fell from 12 weeks to 35 days on his watch.
