NRA Lobbyist: 'How Do You Tell A 10-Yr-Old She Can't Keep The Assault Weapon She Got For Christmas'
Hammer is right about one thing. Guns are big business in Florida. Huge.in terms of gun production. And Hammer pressed that gun manufacturers are a $1 billion dollar industry with more than 700 firearms manufacturing license holders. In 2016, those smaller shops and large manufacturers produced more than 750,000 weapons.
The amendment she denounced would ban the future sale of assault rifles and make it so current owners had to either register them with the state or give them up. It seems like a common sense law, but Hammer was concerned mostly concerned the manufacturers would get out of Florida, and quick. “If I were the owner of one of these firearm manufacturing companies, I wouldn’t wait to see what voters do,” she said. “If this were allowed to go on the ballot, I’d say, ‘I’m outta here.’”
While it may be true that gun manufacturers would be hurt, others argued that money could be saved from. Dr. Charles Tate, a Broward County radiologist, said Florida would save millions that way, citing that the 2016 Pulse shooting in Orlando costs about $390 million from medical costs, police, and expense to employers.
Tate is the owner of multiple guns himself. But he said he would happily give them up if they were outlawed because his concerns were elsewhere. “I am far more interested in the safety of my wife, my children and my grandchildren,” he said.
