In Florida Gov. Scott has signed increased gun restrictions into law 23 days after the deadly shooting at Parkland. The law imposes a 21-year-old minimum age requirement, three day waiting period, and a ban on bump stocks. Other measures include a ban on bump stocks, a guardian programs which deputizes and arms some school employees, and $400 million for mental health care.
62% of Florida voters support a ban on assault weapons -- whatever those are. Would be a rather leading question: Do you support or oppose banning murder rifles? Would the results from such a poll be newsworthy?
Democrats on the House's Oversight and Government Reform Committee are demanding that the White House turn over documents relating to White House security clearances. The committee became interested in the question of White House security clearances after the Rob Porter incident. Evidently, he was working on a temporary clearance.
Protests are growing in Slovakia, where the Prime Minister is mixed up in the murder of a journalist. The Prime Minister, Robert Fico, and the President, Andrea Kiska, aren't the best of friends. Rico is insinuating that the protests are the result of a conspiracy between President Kiska and Geroge Soros.
Government and Russian forces continue to destroy all resistance in Syria, civilians be damned. I am reading about such things, but I'm not writing about it. I haven't the heart for it.
