Florida Adults Under 21 Still Can’t Buy a Rifle

Florida adults under 21 still can’t buy a rifle or shotgun, and Tallahassee still hasn’t fixed it. Chip in $15 before tomorrow midnight so FGO can put that record in front of gun voters before early voting.

Chip in $15 before tomorrow at midnight

I want to talk to you about something that still makes my blood boil. If you’re a legal adult in Florida and you’re under 21, you still can’t buy a rifle or a shotgun. That’s the law today, and Tallahassee still hasn’t fixed it.

Attorney General James Uthmeier has said he wants to work with the Legislature to right that wrong, and I’m glad he said it. But a statement doesn’t change the law. Until Tallahassee acts, a young adult who can vote, pay taxes, and serve this country still can’t buy a rifle or shotgun the same way an older adult can.

And here’s what really gets me. The Radical Left wants that ban locked in for good, and that’s no surprise. But the weak Republicans who let it sit would love to spend October telling you they’re pro-gun without ever explaining why it’s still on the books.

Here’s the calendar we’re working against:

Florida’s statewide early voting window runs October 24 through October 31, and Election Day is November 3. That’s five weeks to put this record in front of Florida gun voters.

Our End-of-Quarter deadline is tomorrow at midnight, and what comes in before then decides how much of that work we can do. So will you chip in $15 before tomorrow at midnight? It’s how we identify gun voters, show them where the candidates stand, and run hard-hitting digital ads that make these politicians answer for their records.

If we come up short, those are the programs that get squeezed. Fewer ads and fewer voters reached means more room for the politicians who let this ban stand to hide. I’m not interested in helping them hide, and I don’t think you are either.

You can also chip in $15 here.

P.S. Early voting starts October 24, and adults under 21 still can’t buy a rifle or shotgun in Florida. Chip in $15 before tomorrow at midnight so every gun voter knows who fought to fix it and who let it sit.
