Democratic candidates for Florida governor (from left): Real estate investor Jeff Greene, former Miami Beach Mayor Jeff Levine, former Congresswoman Gwen Graham, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, and businessman Chris King.

As many of my fellow Arfcommers know; the Florida Primaries for the governor's seat is August 28 and on the Democrat side. It is a full field... full of gun grabbers that it.

Currently in the lead is Gwen Graham a one-time member of Congress and the daughter of Florida's former governor, Bob Graham. She rose to top place (20% - Florida Atlantic University Poll) with her bold proclamation.



If elected, she promised to ban 'assault weapons' via executive fiat in her first week in office.

And straight from her campaign website comes this:



Well Gwen, I hate to tell you. The Constitution doesn't allow such a thing.



Taking second place (16% FAU Poll) is Phillip Levine, former mayor of Miami Beach and he's a major bankroller in the post-Parkland gun control movement in Florida.





To give you an idea of how left-leaning Miami Beach is, the current Chief of Police (installed by Levine) is Daniel J. Oates. The head LEO that supported his cops going with guns drawn at law abiding Floridians simply fishing. (Read here, here, here, and herefor the full run down of what happened.)



Following up in third place (14% FAU Poll) is Jeff Greene, a man who once actually ran for office as a Republican back in 1982 for California's 23rd Congressional District race and then decided to be a Capitalist before embracing Socialism.



Jeff Greene is your typical jet setting limousine leftist. At the 2015 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland he told the world;

Greene was met with criticism after it came out that he had flown his wife, children and two nannies on a private jet plane to Davos for the week. He's also the same when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. He is against you and I owning firearms but he sure loves that armed security.

Fourth place (9% FAU Poll) is Chris King. Another rich 'Do as I say, not as I do' Socialist'.



Chris King stands out because he's promised to refuse to accepting campaign contributions from Florida's Big Sugar. But he does have backing from Twitter's Corporate Board.

Last place (7% FAU Poll) is current wannabe despot of Tallahassee, Mayor Andrew Gillum. Always ready to side with anything that would help benefit his career. Gillum is front and center. Especially anything Anti 2nd Amendment related in Tallahassee like the March For Our Lives Propaganda Rallies.



Gillum went from being a rising star in the Democrat Party to being a zero. It all happened when he hitched his wagon to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Originally selected to be her running mate as Vice President. It all came crashing down when the rigged elections occurred for her primary. But now, in a moment of desperation. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Gillum.



Here's Gillum attacking Gwen on who can out gun control each other.



In the end, none of them are worth a damn and I hope they all lose to what gets stuck to the bottom of my shoe. They are all a threat to Floridians' 2nd Amendment Rights and would gladly support the forced violation of our civil liberties.

I couldn't stomach watching the debate last night, so I got caught up this morning.  This is NOT good.  All of them are anti gun, with the front runner Graham, promising she will ban assault style weapons on her first day in office.  Couple this with abolishing Stand your Ground and it is so important that we not let any of these asshats get elected.

They have to go away.

Whoever ends up riding the Trump Train must crush them decisively  to send a clear message.

If one of these asshats get in office it will be the end of FL and onto the path of CA.

Yeah, I watched part of the debate.  One of them actually said that the NRA was flooding the state with guns and ammo

We're already there due to demographics and the fact that only 36% of our population is from Florida. It has made our politics fucked up. 2014 was only a percentage point.



There are more Democrats than Republicans. Wait until the 2020 census.

Thinking if it is time for them to come get it then the time has come.

Wife likes it when I am armed. It's part of my job to protect her.

Are they gonna ring the doorbell or crash the door.

But the grabbers won't be personally coming here, they will send someone else to do the dirty work, won't they.

The Dem's have certainly become bolder in their anti-gun stances.  I find it interesting that they all plan to ban guns but are in favor of abortion and legal pot...only one of those things is actually protected by the constitution.

Interesting it will be.

Without a doubt. I’ve already started looking at property across the fence in AL and GA.

If any of them are elected, we be screwed!!!  Each one is trying to out due the other with more gun restrictions.  Hopefully these asshats are soundly rejected.

If this happens, I will be relocating 25 min north to southern GA.

Not to side track the subject, but I didn’t want to start another... Can the govnr even legally ban aw’s via executive order? Doesn’t seem terribly legal to me.

I just read what Gwen is running on and she’s even worse than I thought. We haven’t heard on seen one thing about her up in NW FL, at least I haven’t.

There's no way her executive order idea is constitutional. She's claiming past school shootings are representative of a danger to the public and therefore is banning the sale of assault rifles. This will last until she can pass a ban legislatively.

I like she mentions no guns for people under a protection order, that has been around as long as I can remember.

It has been said before about many elections, but I think it is going to be a pivotal election in Florida. With the way the demographic has changed in the last 15 to 20 years, we are close to, if not at, the tipping point. It greatly saddens me to see what my great state of Florida has, and is becoming.    

I feel sorry for you guys. I have relatives and friends in Florida. I visit every year. I have a fl firearms and weapons license for approx 25 years. I can see the state swinging. I use to live in ny and moved to pa. I see in the last 15 years my state swinging  too. I think it is every state. 20-30 years this country will be full blow socialist and gun ownership will be very limited. Sorry to say.

Leftism is a virus. It spreads, consumes, and destroys the host. When the host is dead, it finds a new one. Every proud, productive, free state is at risk because it has the classic resources Leftism needs to survive. Other people's money, steong job demand, low taxes, and affordable property.

Leftists leave their fucked up states for better places and then they vote the way they always did and recreate their problems.

Speaking of spreading....

5.3 Million Puerto Ricans Will Hold FL GOP Lawmakers Accountable, Governor Says

Governor Scott sold us out and knew so.

Poll of Puerto Ricans in Florida has good news for Dems  and for Gov. Scott

He saw the writing and knew that Democrats would possibly win in 2018 so he has been flipping on us and going Left of Center to garner votes.

I don't see how Scott "sold us out" by helping Puerto Ricans after the storm.  The options were "help them and pick up some votes" or "don't help them, and watch the media turn it into Hurricane Katrina part 2.".

Like I posted in the other thread, Rubio got 200,000 more votes than Trump in the general election in 2016.  I think Scott looked at that and decided he had a better chance to win by tacking to the middle versus the right.  I can't say that I fault his strategy.

Anyway, we are two months out from the most important midterms in decades.  It is critical to vote for Scott to help Trump at the national level, and for the GOP governor candidate and state senate candidates to help with redistricting.

Only a percentage point, but that wasn't exactly a normal circumstance. A lot of Floridians, myself included, thought Crist was a competent governor. I voted for Rick Scott, but in hindsight, I should not have. I'm a single issue second amendment voter (how the fuck do you have to vote on a right that's spelled out?) and I think we can afford to try different approaches to governing such a mixed population as we have, but we cannot give up our rights. I didn't follow things all that much back then, but I remembered watching him govern on C-SPAN when a hurricane was headed our way years ago and I considered him to be competent. I also might have the timing wrong, but I remembered John Morgan bankrolled Crist for office at one point -- I can't remember if it was the 2014 gubernatorial race, but that's what turned me against Crist.

it seems it has been a life time ago,  since any dhimmicrat supported gun rights.   Anti gun folks are defined by the party they belong to.  Most of the time anyway.  Not all anti gun politician are dhimmicrat,  but all dhimmicrats are anti gun

Just a reminder that we need to stay focused on defeating the socialist anti-gun candidate for governor. I donated to the Desantis campaign today.

Me too. I need a yard sign, but they're backordered :(
