The legislature has evolved. For three solid years, I and others made gun rights an issue. Something a previous certain someone who was the 2A lobbyist in FL for decades did not do. We didn't coddle and stroke their egos, we publicly attacked them on the issues. We made it a campaign issue. It is an uphill fight, but progress is being made.FfNJGTFO wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:58 pmOr, in the case of ERPOs, put a couple of good court cases together and take it all the way to SCOTUS. Perhaps, with Civil Asset Forfeiture as well. I don't think the legislature will "evolve," as you describe, in the remainder of our lifetimes. Not unless we do a Jedi Mind trick on all the legislators or whatever.Miami_JBT wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 12:59 pm Everything you want for the repeal or modification of RFOs will not happen until the entire legislature is changed due to term limits. No lawmaker is going to vote for a repeal of RFOs since they voted in favor of it in the first place. That's a lawmaker admitting that they were wrong and they will never do that.
As such, the only way to make change is to make the lawmakers' lives a living hell. Public pressure is the only way forward and that's what I'm doing.
At least, with ERPOs, we can do the 3rd party storage thing I mentioned above.
As for SCOTUS and RFOs. I have a gut feeling that SCOTUS is going to rule in favor of gun control on the issue of "dangerousness" of the suspect and they're going to uphold RFOs as legal. That was the basis of the oral argument with U.S. v. Rahimi.
