Preemption Laws and Gun Control

Part One - Preemption

When I first learned about Florida Statute 790.33, the law that prohibits local governments from enacting their own gun regulations, I thought it should be unconstitutional for several reasons. First, the student shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018 might have been prevented. There were people who knew the shooter was a threat but there was no local resource that legally could get involved.[1]
