Gulf Breeze starts coming into compliance with HB45
The Gulf Breeze City Council this week OK’d changes to its code of ordinances that are meant to ensure the city has no gun regulation laws on its books that conflict with state gun laws.
Again, I was disappointed that we didn’t get Open Carry passed, but truly HB45 and the strengthening of preemption was the most important piece of legislation passed this year. Why?
Anyone who enacts or enforces any law that could be construed as regulating firearms could be personally held legally responsible and face law suits and stiff civil fines.
Not the city, not some nebulous group, but rather those responsible for the law being in place, be it enacting the legislation or failing to remove it. And do these lawmakers like being held accountable for their actions? Nope
Mayor Beverly Zimmeran said these are major changes that “we are being forced to make.” “This is something this council is not comfortable with,” she said, because it takes away the city’s ability to protect public safety.

Absolutely no proof is available that tougher gun laws provide a safer society and yet that line is trumpeted like a one-trick parrot.
I would like to point out how beneficial this bill has been in reigning in the overreaches of a gov’t body. There should be consequences to people who make laws that harm others. When there’s responsibility for them, those in charge think twice about violating civil liberties. We need to start enacting laws like this across the board, from local to federal, and watch as the tyrants voluntarily remove their boots from our neck.
