    Yes, DeSantis seems pretty hypocritical here

    OK
    I made no original claim, you did in post #11 and #12 and you could not support it.
    Call it whatever you wish.

    Please cite what you see in the Florida statute that makes you dismiss my claims.

    DeSantis is part of neither.

    There are places like the Capitol where we cannot carry arms but it is like you said earlier with the Florida statute example, it is because there are laws in place already. There are many that believe guns should be allowed in those places and we have those fighting to allow guns in building like the Capitol. When @Oldyoungin parrots the "it is for safety" it pretty much validates every argument made for banning guns. Basically if banning guns makes DeSantis feel safer why shouldn't everyone have that luxury. If this story is true then DeSantis really needs to address this and not simply ignore it. If it is fake news then he should definitely get the real info out there immediately to kill this story and right the record.

    If there was such a rule, DeSantis would have publicly complained about it while privately thanking them.

    This won't be a gun free zone. There'll be guns there.

    But hey, if you don't like it, don't go. I'm not going.

    When it comes to "taking guns"...
    DeSantis is worse that Beto O'Rourke...

    I read the guidelines. They defer to 790 of Florida statute.

    Everyone does have that luxury if you were going to host an event at a convention center you can say no guns allowed you're allowed to do that.

    Fake news. Of course guns shouldn't be allowed at concerts, sport events, political conventions etc. It just proves that conservatives have the ability to differentiate. Leftists don't seem to understand this concept.

    Sure but if it was at his discretion then it is fair to ask him why he choose that decision.

    That's a fairly common request. Nothing hypocritical about it.

    This is what comes up for section 853: International sanctions against Castro government.—

    Do you have a specific link?

    There can't be. Some posters are saying it's against state law.

    I don't have it anymore. One would think when talking about Florida statute that you would Google Florida statute before typing in the section number.

    But I'm not going to provide you with a link even if I had it if you can't figure that out and you're being intentionally dense

    It seems to reflect his fundamental belief on where firearms are permitted. I can 100% understand if he is mandated by law but if it is his preference then he needs to discuss the issue. He is a potential presidential candidate and if he firmly believes gun free zones enhances ones safety then he should make his position known. You seem to prefer he just not talk about it. There are many that believes this is a pretty important policy issue.

    You actually believe that Desantis won't have a security detail?

    There will be armed security on-site. What makes you think there won't be?
