A Florida lawmaker is coming out with a bill with the goal of a safer community.
State Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton, District 30, wants to do something to make it harder for people with bad intentions to get bullets. She feels her bill, if it passes the Florida Legislature, will reduce gun violence.Without the ammunition, the guns don't work, so let's stop bad people before they get their hands on the bullets," Polsky said.
Polsky has filed a bill known as Jaime's Law, named after 14-year-old Jaime Guttenberg, one of the students killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in 2018. The manager of a gun shop in West Palm Beach said requiring a background check to buy ammo won't stop people with a criminal record from getting bullets. He said they could make ammo at home, buy it on the streets or ask a friend without a criminal record to buy it for them.
