With violence erupting across America, lawmakers are scrambling to find solutions.
Most democrats simply want to pass stricter gun control measures.
Republicans, however, have looked below the surface and see there are deeper issues.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
These GOP members also believe in supporting the Constitution 100%. However, The Regime is foolishly saying things like “the Second Amendment is not absolute.”
This is nonsense and Republican leaders and voters disagree with the democrat mantra—‘Gun Control’ is a misnomer and a non-starter.
He heard that a big Florida-based organization released anti-2A statements, and announced it intended to donate a sizable amount of money to leftist anti-2A groups.
This obviously is counter-intuitive and for DeSantis a non-starter.
The Tampa Bay Rays are a significant draw, as most professional sports teams are for their states. And Florida had planned to give them $35 million for a new spring training facility.
However, the Rays released a statement after the Uvalde tragedy that said “if nothing changes, nothing changes,” signifying support for more gun control.
The team also donated $50,000 to Everytown for Gun Safety’s Support Fund, so they can “amplify the facts about gun violence in America.”
Again, there’s the assumption this means clamping down on gun rights.
DeSantis’ reaction was simple: No more $35M for the Rays (via The Daily Wire):
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) plans to veto tens of millions of dollars that were earmarked for the Tampa Bay Rays after the team released an anti-Second Amendment statement following a couple of recent tragedies.
‘DeSantis plans to veto a $35 million legislation for a Pasco County facility that’s earmarked for the Tampa Bay Rays’ spring training,’ OutKick reported.
‘DeSantis’s decision is in response to the Rays politicizing recent shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde ahead of a matchup with the Yankees in May.’
The Florida Governor has shown his unwavering support for the Constitution in numerous ways.
For example, after learning of Disney’s far-left angle earlier this year, he stripped the corporation’s special tax privileges.
DeSantis said:
I’m just not comfortable having that type of agenda get special treatment in my state.
Disney had also opposed one of the Governor’s bills, the “Parental Rights in Education Act,” which gave power back to parents, in regards to the sorts of material their children see in school.
Now, DeSantis is standing up for the Second Amendment by denying the Rays their new training facility.
The GOP firmly believes that the country is suffering from a deeply entrenched set of issues, and implementing stricter gun control measures won’t fix those issues.
