Florida Senate Committee has passed, with the backing of Republicans on the committee, SB 7028.
This bill would require a three day waiting period for firearms sold “on property to which the public has the right of access†such as “a flea market, a gun show, or a firearm exhibitâ€
Among other things, it will require individuals who sell guns to other people (private sales) to fill our a form that would include the name, date of birth and ID information of the purchaser. This form would include background questions aimed at ensuring the purchaser is eligible to buy a gun, and would have to be notarized.
Currently, there is not a companion bill in the House.
Latest information is the Speaker of the House Olivia and Gov. DeSantis are opposing this bill.
Sadly, my Senator, Keith Perry, was one of the supporters of this bill in committee. Regardless, I let him know of my opposition.
NOW is the time to contact your legislators. And contact the Speaker and Governor to encourage their opposition.
