ANSWERING:
“Help me figure this out. Republicans don’t want to Ban guns, because they say it won’t stop gun violence. “

Only because you asked.

The right of citizens to to keep and bear arms is guaranteed in the Constitution. Congress is not empowered to enact any laws which conflict with the Constitution.

Therefore, the question you might consider asking is: Why are people who are not Republicans willing to violate the Constitution?
Why don’t they care what the law orders?

It should NOT be a party thing. ALL governmental officials and citizens should intend to preserve and protect the Constitution — not the pieces of paper, but the agreement among the citizens of this nation setting up the framework of legitimate federal government. Those who do not care to live within the strictures of the Constitution weaken faith in our government. That is the path of anarchy or police state. Neither is good for our health.

These are not the kind of issues that we need our tax dollars wasted on. Just like the gun control proposals it will have no effect on the lives of the people that make this world go round, the middle class. We have to be paying to much taxes for government to be able to waste so much money. It’s sad to think about, but I don’t see our government getting any better. They’re like inmuture children fighting over candy. How can anyone have the confidence that we deserve and pay for in them? If they can’t control it, or make money off of it, there goal is to take it away form you. LICK Scott, moves like this are going to make you look like you care about the people. They make you look like you are not foucused on the issues that could really make a differance in the peoples lives that pay your salary.

REGARDING:
“What I don’t understand is how we still have legalized tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco causes cancer and alcohol causes major damage to kidneys”

Should be simple enough to understand.
You don’t outlaw things you do.
Members of congress smoke as does the president.
Many voters use tobacco and will vote against anyone who tries to outlaw it.

And there are a few people with a libertarian bent who would outlaw nothing simply based on the fact that it will kill its users.

Help me figure this out. Republicans don’t want to Ban guns, because they say it won’t stop gun violence.

So isn’t it the same with bongs? Banning bongs will not stop people from smoking marijuana. Especially now that states are accepting it and legalising it

So why is it ok to ban bongs and not guns? Isn’t banning either just huge government over reach?

@Bob, some people have carrots and celery with low fat ranch.

Some people have nothing at all because they eat at specific periods.

Some people engage in projectile vomiting because their body is desperately trying to remove the POISON ALCOHOL from it’s systems, after they drink too much.

An acrylic bong verses a highball glass, go figure.

What a joke……

Florida must have all its other ducks in a row if Governor Scott has time to spend on this useless piece of legislature.

The majority has spoken; 60% of Americans want marijuana legalized or at least decriminalized.

The only people/groups who are against legalization or decriminalization are old “stick-in-the-mud” types who still believe all the anti-MJ propaganda crap from the 60’s and the PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES in which we all know or should know that Rick Scott is heavily vested.

Don’t be fooled, Rick Scott pushed this Bill through for personal gain not the good of the people.

Well if they think we are obese now, wait till they totally legalize it, a good investment would be little debbie cakes, and donut shops, Now if you own a restruant, put in a smoking room and roll the lobster tank , close to where every one comes out, oh and put those hot fresh pastries, right at the door.you should make a fortune LOL
