A day after a committee unanimously signed off on one of Senate President Bill Galvano's top priorities, Gov. Ron DeSantis and House Speaker Jose Oliva expressed skepticism about the sweeping gun control measure.
The proposal (SB 7028) would close the gun-show "loophole," create a record-keeping system for private gun sales and set aside $5 million to establish a "statewide strategy for violence prevention," among other things.
The measure would also expand on the state's "red-flag law," which was included in a wide-ranging law passed shortly after the Feb. 14, 2018, mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
