According to the Associated Press, President Trump is in favor of banning the sale of assault weapons to people under the age of 21. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Republican lawmakers in Florida also support age requirements.
The Tampa Bay Times, however, also reports that most Floridans support a full ban on assault weapons. Gov. Rick Scott is planning a Senate run. He will probably come out in favor of an assault weapons ban. Why? He's already loosened up his budget policy to appeal more to government employees. So there's a trend.
We'll see what happens at his press conference.
I don't support an assault weapons ban. I'm not wild about a minimum age requirement, but if it happens, I won't be outraged. My preference is expanding red flag laws, which is already part of the Republican proposal.
