Legislation Banning Assault Weapons Filed

Gun safety advocates are backing legislation they say would make mass shootings less deadly. The groups want lawmakers to ban the sale of assault-style weapons and large capacity magazines.
A proposed bill would make the sale, transfer or possession of military-grade weapons or large-capacity magazines illegal. Sen. Gary Farmer (D-Ft. Lauderdale) says if the rule was in place prior to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting, more people would’ve survived.
“If Nicholas Cruz had just had to reload more often fewer people would be dead today," said Farmer.
The legislation will also make owning unregistered fully automatic, semi-automatic, or burst fire rifles illegal. But getting the measure passed would be a heavy lift. Farmer and Orlando Democratic Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith are sponsoring the legislation for the second year in a row.
