**Shock of the Day: Jacksonville's Alleged Gun Registry Violates Florida Law**
In an alarming revelation, Jacksonville City Councilman Nick Howland has raised serious concerns about the potential establishment of an illegal gun registry in the city.
This violation comes at a time when Florida's laws explicitly prohibit the creation of such lists by local governments.
Howland's investigation reveals that since July 1, 2023, private security guards at City Hall and the Yates Building have allegedly been documenting the identities and firearm types of individuals entering those buildings.
As the councilman pointed out, these actions contradict Florida’s safeguards designed to protect law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights.
“The creation of a gun registry is a clear violation of state law,” Howland asserted.
He emphasized that this is not merely a bureaucratic oversight; it poses a direct threat to the freedoms enjoyed by responsible gun owners in Florida.
The troubling timing of this alleged registry—coinciding with the beginning of Mayor Donna Deegan's administration—raises questions about who authorized such a drastic move.
The implications of this situation are dire.
Local governments that fail to comply with state law could face hefty civil penalties, with fines reaching up to $5 million.
Moreover, individual violators could be charged with felonies, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has pledged to investigate the matter, stating, “If true, this is a serious breach of Florida law by the City of Jacksonville."
He further noted that government gun registries are antithetical to the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
In a state where gun ownership is celebrated, it is critical that local administrations uphold the law rather than attempt to sidestep it through covert actions.
As the story unfolds, citizens remain keenly aware of the necessity to protect their rights and hold their leaders accountable for their actions.
This unfolding saga follows a long-established conservative principle: when government officials overreach, it is the duty of the people to stand up and demand accountability.
The future of Jacksonville's governance—and the integrity of gun rights in Florida—may very well depend on the outcome of these investigations.
