Say no to less-restrictive gun laws
As reported in FLORIDA TODAY, Palm Bay has had two major shooting incidents in less than two weeks with seven deaths and serious injuries to law enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, the Florida House is currently in session and moving forward with less-restrictive firearm bills.
Reps. Tyler Sirois (R-Merritt Island) and Randy Fine (R-Palm Bay) are sponsors of Florida House Bill 1223, which would lower the age to purchase a firearm from 21 to 18. Another bill, HB 17, seeks to eliminate the mandatory waiting period for the purchase of a firearm.
Please contact your representative and voice your concern for a safer Brevard.

As educational policies shape the landscape, students’ voices are sidelined by external organizations, notably Moms for Liberty. Recent crucial decisions have excluded students’ input, highlighting the urgent need for them to reclaimtheir role.
