On Thursday, the Florida Supreme Court rejected a challenge against a state law that prohibits local officials from imposing restrictions on ammunition and gun sales.

Florida passed a 1987 law that prevents counties and cities from imposing restrictions on guns beyond the state law. The law was then amended in 2011 to include civil penalties and fines for officials who break that law.

After 17 people were killed and shot at Marjory Stoneman-Davis High School in 2018, several local governments challenged the law’s penalty provisions. Nikki Fried (ex-Democratic Agriculture Commissioner) joined several municipalities in suing state.

Any local official found guilty of “knowing or willful” violation of the statute could face a $5,000 fine.

1776 Coalition Sponsored D.C. isn’t singing Kumbaya just yet Quite frankly, we may have won the election, but there’s still a war to be fought and the Left isn’t resting; they’re regrouping. And now that Donald Trump is Time’s Person of the Year, you can be assured their feelings have been exacerbated. They’re not singing Kumbaya in DC just yet. In fact, they’re plotting ways to embarrass him and cause him to fail. Will you join our efforts to fight back and defeat them?. We can’t wait until January 21—that will be too late!

The Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of those officials with a 4-1 vote. The majority stated that local governments do not have the legal authority or discretion to adopt ordinances that are contrary to state preemption.

On Thursday, Ashley Moody, Florida Attorney General, called the ruling a “big victory”.

She tweeted, “Our lawyers fought hard to ensure that local governments cannot trample upon your 2nd Amendment rights.”
