The majority of us in this area do not feel the same as Bloomburg and his lobbying cronies. Let Floridians vote for Florida laws!

Placing a law such as this does not take away the criminal intent. Guns are stolen and used everyday. Veto the bill and start making people responsible for their own weapons getting into the wrong hands. And start prosecuting more thoroughly.

It says persons above "....MAY be prohibited from purchasing firearms..." . It does not say they MUST be prohibited from purchasing firearms. I don't see any definition here for what this Bill's term of "mental illness" would be. Veto this......
