Following the deadly school shooting Thursday, April 17, on Florida State University’s campus that resulted in the death of two people and multiple injuries, House Democratic Caucus leaders are calling for stricter gun legislation in Florida.
Democrats and their views on gun control
During a media availability on Monday, House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell, D-Tampa, condemned the Republican-controlled Legislature for not passing more rules to make guns and ammunition less obtainable.
“Democrats in our caucus file good common sense gun laws—reforms that will help to make our communities safer. Unfortunately, the Republican majority refuses to even give them a hearing,” Driskell said.
