In the wake of the Florida shooting, Dick’s Sporting Goods has given in to the anti-gun hysteria, and released a statement that looks like it could have been written by Dianne Feinstein. In the statement, they stated that they will no longer be selling “assault-style rifles” or high capacity magazines, sell guns to anyone under 21 years of age, or ever put “bump stocks” on their shelves.

The statement in its entirety can be seen below:

At the end of their statement, Dick’s Sporting Goods calls on elected officials to enact a number of anti-gun laws, including a ban on “assault weapons” and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21.

Dick’s Sporting Goods also reveals that they had sold a shotgun to Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland Florida shooter.

In response to the statement, many gun owners announced their anger at Dick’s Sporting Goods, who have made much of their money off of the sale of firearms.

America First Florida Rep Anthony Sabatini Introduces Pro-Second Amendment Bills that Would Repeal Red Flag Laws and Make the State a 2A Sanctuary

Anthony Sabatini has quickly established himself as the most Pro-Trump State House Representative in Florida.

And he’s pushing the envelope even further by introducing legislation that will make Florida a “second amendment sanctuary” and repeal the state’s current red flag law.

Last week, Sabatini unveiled House Memorial 1135, which directs Congress to designate Florida as a Second Amendment sanctuary state.

“Florida is the nation’s beacon of Freedom—and no state or local official should administer any unconstitutional law,” Sabatini added.

The memorial alludes to the U.S. Constitution as well as the state’s constitution as far as the right to bear arms is concerned.

On February 2x, 2021, Sabatini made an announcement with regards to his filing of HB 6083, the bill which would repeal Florida’s unconstitutional red flag law. Under red flag laws, judges have the ability to confiscate firearms without due process.

“The Bill also repeals other irrational anti-#2A laws—including the law prohibiting adults 18-20 years of age from purchasing firearms,” Sabatini commented.

For those of us with short-term memory, Florida passed a red flag gun confiscation order in 2018 under the watch of a Republican-controlled state legislature. U.S. Senator Rick Scott was governor at the time and ended up signing the red flag bill, SB 7026, into law. He was sadly rewarded with higher office by voters that election cycle.

Thankfully, the Sunshine State can count on the likes of Sabatini to make things right. More legislators will likely need to copy his example in order to rid Florida of this gun control abomination.
