The Florida House voted down by a vote of 36 to 71 a procedural move to allow the body to even consider banning assault rifles and large-capacity magazines. They did this in front of survivors of the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
How is this possible? They won’t even consider talking about some kind of solution to this horrible problem. Are these the legislators making America Great Again?
