State Sen. Linda Stewart (D-Orlando) is pushing to make bump stock possession a third-degree felony in the state of Florida.
Her push comes after gun control for bump stocks fizzled out at the federal level.
According to TC Palm, Stewart’s gun control would make bump stock possession a felony that is “punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine up to $5,000.”
On October 26 Breitbart News reported that a bump stock ban failed to pass in Illinois. It was put forward by State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines) but went down in defeat amid opposition from Republicans and Democrats. The Chicago Tribune quoted State Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Smithton) saying, “I don’t view this as a bump stock ban, I view this as a ban on 40 to 50 percent of the guns in the state.”
