Florida Sheriffs Association Against SB-296?

 
FLORIDA SHERIFF'S BREAK THEIR WORD AND SUPPORT DISARMING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS DURING MANDATORY EVACUATION OF THEIR HOMES!

On Wednesday, April 30, 2014, SB-296 by Senator Jeff Brandes will be heard on the Senate Floor.  The Senate needs to substitute the House bill, HB-209 and pass it without amendments.

SB-296 Mandatory Evacuation is the Senate version of HB-209 that has been under constant attack by the Florida Sheriffs Association and continues to be under attack in the Senate.

The bill was under attack in Senate Community Affairs Committee and Senator Darren Soto (D-Kissimmee) succeeded in passing an amendment for the Florida Sheriffs Association to strip out essential language.

SB-296 Firearms/Mandatory Evacuations is a bill to allow law-abiding citizens to take their firearms with them when they are in the act of evacuating while complying with a mandatory evacuation order under a declared state of emergency.   This bill will keep law-abiding citizens from being arrested and having their firearms confiscated for taking their firearms with them when they evacuate.

The Florida Sheriffs Association, while proclaiming their support for the Second Amendment, continues to actively OPPOSE this legislation and your right to bear arms.  They have continued to spread MISINFORMATION about SB-296 by Brandes and HB-209 by Fitzenhagen relating to Mandatory Evacuations under a declared State of Emergency.

The Sheriffs claim that, "The law already permits transporting securely encased firearms in motor vehicles, and it allows those with an appropriate permit to carry concealed firearms,"is not accurate.

Under current law, once a State of Emergency has been declared by a local official, it is a violation of law for any citizen to take a firearm out of his/her the home or off his/her property. http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/2014/04/you-cant-evacuate-with-your-guns-florida-sheriffs-continue-to-oppose-bill-to-allow-citizens-to-take-their-guns-with-them-in-a-state-of-emergecy/#JSMQ9M34Zjgbj02d.99

WHO FUNDS THEM? WHO DO THEY "CATER" TO? WOULD THIS BE THE REAL REASON THEY ARE OPPOSING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS FROM BEING ABLE TO TAKE THEIR WEAPONS WITH THEM? HUMM, YEP MORE THAN LIKELY.

Message to the "Florida Sheriffs Association". Your statements on paper don't mean anything if you don't back up your words. Here is their statement in 2013 "which apparently they didn't mean".  https://www.flsheriffs.org/uploads/FLSheriffs2ndAmendmentProcl_2013v3.pdf

Maybe their "corporate sponsors" should rethink giving them any funding. http://www.flsheriffs.org/about_us/sponsors/ I would suggest emailing sponsors and making them aware of their double standard and lies.

NOTE: If YOU seek to disarm law abiding citizens then YOU being a citizen as well should be disarmed! WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER KATRINA!! YOU are traitors to the PEOPLE if you support this as well as a traitor to OUR COUNTRY, and THE CONSTITUTION. I most certainly would be looking for all measures of RECALL against everyone of these sheriffs that are supporting disarming citizens.
