House
Bill 363 in the Florida Legislature is a ban on the import or manufacture
of virtually ALL handguns currently being manufactured in the US using
the premise of "safety". It defines "unsafe" handguns as any of those:
that go off in any of 8 drop tests; with less than a 10 pound trigger pull;
and handguns without "smart gun" technology, or as I call them "Phantom
Firearms", since they don't exist. It requires trigger locks on all
guns in homes with children. It also bans so-called "assault weapons"
by name, model and series, without even the premise of "safety', and some
shotguns. Strangely enough (or not so) it's called the "Children's
Firearm Responsibility Act of 2000". It amends s. 790.001
F.S. The only changes having to do with children is a couple of lines
making harsher punishments violations of laws that are not enforced now,
making the giving of non-phantom firearms (read existing firearms) to children
against the law, and funding for a state sponsored re-education programs
for children through the schools and juvenile justice system. Check
it out yourself here.
