We should all be embarrassed by this vote. What a disgrace.
A vote many made to get appropriations from the Republicans. Most Ds who voted for this don’t agree with this.
Darren Soto a terrible vote on gun issues. His DNV is probably a vote pair with someone else who didn’t vote.
They did not vote for this and then screamed from the tree tops how antigun they are. Come on who are you kidding. Soto, Clemens, Abruzzo, Bernard, Saunders, Waldman, etc….They are all a bunch of idiots anyway. They will be voted out, bought out, jailed in or start threatening people in the process. Crist already bought most of them who has an awful record. Bring your gun to work. What a joke!
Go for you for showing how they voted! It is about time people focus on votes instead of their lame bs that they talk about at meetings. Sorry to tell you though your Alan guy sucks as bad as the Bush’s lobbyist.
As soon as our powerful leaders get the word from the NRA they will know what to do. 20 dead children isn’t as important as the NRA lobby.
