The Florida State Senate voted down an amendment that would put an assault rifle ban into effect.
Once the motion was made, parents and students in the crowd booed and screamed in disgust.

Amendment to ban sale or transfer of about 80 assault weapons in Florida does not pass. Demonstrators begin chanting “Shame.” And “Vote them out.” #RallyInTally pic.twitter.com/JsDE91CdY5

I wonder if the movement is strong enough to actually vote them out. Next two years will be interesting.

2018 midterms will be especially interesting.
It was a circus. They should have cleared the room about 20 times.

People could have been more respectful of the legislative process. Yelling and screaming over legislators is just rude.
So pitiful, but expected.
Vote for @MayorLevine for Governor and end this GOP tragedy once and for all.

One politician isn’t going to be the end-all-be-all of this.

You know, they could ACTUALLY be proponents of the Second Amendment, not just money-hungry people.
