Powerful Republican state senator opposes Florida gun bills (VIDEO)

By Andrew Shepperson

Powerful Republican State Sen. Anitere Flores has declared she will not support many of the pro-gun bills up for debate in the Florida Senate, striking a major blow to those supporting expanded gun rights in the state.
Sen. Flores said specifically she will not support 10 of the 11 pro-guns bills sponsored by fellow Republican Sen. Greg Steube, who this year has taken a piece-meal approach in trying to repeal Florida’s gun-free zones.
Since Flores represents the key deciding vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, the first committee stop for all of Steube’s pro-gun bills, it is likely those bills are dead in the water, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.
“He and I do not see eye-to-eye on probably any of the other gun bills,” said Flores. “I do not support having guns on campus, I do not support having guns in airports, I do not support having guns in school zones. I don’t support those things and Sen. Steube feels differently and that’s fine but this is where we are this year.”
“Gun issues will continue perhaps to be debated,” Flores continued. “I don’t know that they’ll continue to be debated in this committee because these would be bills that I wouldn’t be in support of.”
