FSU Shooting Survivors Oppose Lowering Gun Purchase Age
Tap title to read story
Following a recent shooting at Florida State University, survivors of the 2018 Parkland shooting penned a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis urging him to veto a bill lowering the firearm purchase age to 18. The students, including March For Our Lives founder Jaclyn Corin, argue that raising the age to 21 saved lives and lowering it would dishonor victims. While DeSantis and some Republicans support the measure, Senate President Albritton remains hesitant. The bill's future is uncertain with the legislative session ending soon.
