The Sun Sentinel is reporting the backers of putting an assault weapons ban on the 2020 ballot collected the 100,000 signatures needed to trigger a Supreme Court review. That’s the bad news.

The good news? First, they need to collect about 625,000 more signatures to actually put it on the ballot. Second, Governor DeSantis signed into a bill into law that makes it harder for out of state interests to push their BS onto the Florida constitution. Seriously, read the link. It’s a fucking hoot of pearl clutching goodness.

This also means that I no longer feel constrained if I see them collecting signatures. Oh, I’ll be polite, but I am going to ask the hard questions. I don’t expect to change the minds of the people collecting the signatures. I’m hoping to change the minds of the people within earshot.
