Florida Gun Control - Equals Crime Control

I believe in the right to keep and bear arms

The question is, how does the government protect the right of every Floridian to keep and bear arms, while protecting every Floridian from certain individuals that have no business obtaining, or having a firearm.

As Governor, I will advocate legislation that will allow any citizen of Florida, at anytime, the right to seek in civil court an injunction (a court order) prohibiting a person from possession of a firearm because the person is currently a danger to himself or others.

Under a McGillis administration new gun control regulations shall be enacted as follows.

A license to carry a firearm shall issue if the applicant:

(1) Has reached the age of twenty-one (21) years.
(2) Has a negative criminal record certified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the application and has not been accused of, nor is pending or in the process of trial for any Felony in Florida or in the United States or abroad
(3) Is not habitually inebriated or addicted to controlled substances
(4) Has not been declared mentally incompetent by a court
(5) Has not incurred or belonged to organizations involved in acts of violence, or directed to the overthrow of the government
(6) Has not been dishonorably discharged from the armed forces, or removed from any of the law enforcement agencies of the Government of Florida or its municipalities
(7) Is not under a court order which prohibits harassing, stalking, threatening, or proximity to an intimate partner, the children of the latter or to any person, and who does not have a record of violence
(8) Is a citizen of the United States
(9) Is not a person who, having been a citizen of the United States at a given time, has renounced said citizenship
(10) Has submitted a sworn statement attesting to compliance with fiscal laws; it being established that it shall be grounds to deny the issue of the license applied for or to revoke the same if the applicant has failed to comply with the fiscal laws of the State of Florida
(11) Has payed the required application fee; provided, that in those cases whereby the license is denied, the amount paid shall not be reimbursed
(12) Has submitted, together with the application, one (1) sworn statement from five (5) persons that are not related by consanguinity or affinity to the applicant and that under penalty of perjury, attest to the fact that the applicant enjoys a good reputation in the community, that he/she does not have a tendency to commit acts of violence, and that therefore they have no objection to the applicant owning firearms. This statement shall be made in the form provided by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement along with the application for a weapons license
(13) Has submitted the completed application, under oath, before a notary, accompanied by an impression of his/her fingerprints, taken by a technician of any local Law Enforcement Agency in Florida or a competent federal or state government agency, and that includes two (2) color photographs, two (2) inches by two (2) inches in size, sufficiently recent as to depict the applicant in his/her true aspect at the time of the application
(14) Has submitted a negative certification of debt from the Child Support Administration, issued not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the application
