Brevard Rep. Randy Fine to file bills to repeal gun control from Parkland law

Florida Today:

A Brevard County lawmaker wants to repeal gun control provisions from the law he voted for to address the Parkland shooting, saying those would not have prevented the massacre.

Republican state Rep. Randy Fine said he's going to file three bills ahead of next year's session to reverse the Legislature's decision to raise the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21, impose a three-day waiting period on gun purchases and to ban bump stocks. He announced this during a FLORIDA TODAY town hall on school safety Wednesday.

Fine said he voted on the 105-page bill because there were other provisions he supported, such as the school guardian program to arm school employees and the $400 million for more mental health counseling, school resource officers and to enhance school security.

"The bill was a 105-page package and there are aspects of it we don’t like," Fine said. "There might be someone else who files an appeal to the guardian program. Bills change and laws change over time."

I wonder if anyone in Fine's district will decide to take him to task for this? With votes, of course.
