As another hurricane barrels its way toward the Florida coast, Gov. Ron DeSantis is reportedly making sure there will be no extra restrictions on gun sales in the state.
An emergency declaration issued by the Republican governor ahead of Hurricane Milton’s imminent landfall assured that Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie will not be able to limit or suspend gun sales, sending leftists into a meltdown.
“The preemption of Guthrie’s authority is unprecedented and even highlighted in the news release that went out with the executive order declaring an emergency,” the Orlando Sentinel lamented. “For your reporting purposes, please note in particular the following: Language in the opening portion of Section 2, which prohibits the suspension of or limitation of the sale, dispensation, or transportation of firearms.”
VERY SMART: “The State Coordinating Officer shall not have the authority to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation of firearms[.]” – @GovRonDeSantis
Thanks to Gov. DeSantis for taking action to protect 2A rights during these emergencies. https://t.co/QH7jTiXX4O pic.twitter.com/DPuibrqGvl

“No such language was provided in the disaster declarations for hurricanes earlier this year, Idalia last year or Ian the year before,” the outlet added.
Just ahead of Hurricane Helene’s impact, the City of Okeechobee in the Sunshine State had issued an ordinance that banned the carrying of guns and limited the sale of guns and ammunition.
Imagine writing a hit piece on @GovRonDeSantis for protecting his constituents Constitutional rights during a time of crisis.

“Floridians have the right to keep and bear arms,” said Luis Valdez, the Florida director of Gun Owners of America. “The suspension of such a right is a clear violation of the Second Amendment. Such a ban wouldn’t stop criminals, but it sure would hurt the law-abiding.”
Social media users applauded DeSantis for his pre-emptive call.
What do guns have to do with hurricanes?
If anything you need guns even MORE after a bad hurricane to prevent looting.

Leftwing rag: A storm is coming and as usual the governor is upholding the Constitution.
