░░░░░░░░ what specifically what specific ░░░░░░░░ are you going to ░░░░░░░░ BONDI 450 million will ░░░░░░░░ to securing our school ░░░░░░░░ our schools a much ░░░░░░░░ place physically The buildings ░░░░░░░░ making them stronger making ░░░░░░░░ door secure bulletproof windows ░░░░░░░░ adding school resource officers ░░░░░░░░ have schools that don ░░░░░░░░ even have school resource ░░░░░░░░ per

which is consistent with ░░░░░░░░ a handgun in the ░░░░░░░░ of Florida Also gun ░░░░░░░░ restraining order which is ░░░░░░░░ that I have been ░░░░░░░░ on a detailed to ░░░░░░░░ its constitutionality and due ░░░░░░░░ SMITH Based on your ░░░░░░░░ you re talking about ░░░░░░░░ the minimum age requirement ░░░░░░░░ the semiautomatic rifles in ░░░░░░░░ state so that is ░░░░░░░░ something that you support ░░░░░░░░ want to implement On ░░░░░░░░ federal level we have ░░░░░░░░ the present talk about ░░░░░░░░ We still see a ░░░░░░░░ divided Congress on this ░░░░░░░░ on your meetings with ░░░░░░░░ president does it sound ░░░░░░░░ this is something that ░░░░░░░░ going to happen and ░░░░░░░░ the needed support BONDI ░░░░░░░░ believe the president supports ░░░░░░░░ I have spoke to ░░░░░░░░ personally many times about ░░░░░░░░ He knows everything that ░░░░░░░░ are in Florida And ░░░░░░░░ is what I can ░░░░░░░░ you about my state ░░░░░░░░ we want to ban ░░░░░░░░ bump stocks which makes ░░░░░░░░ semiautomatic fully automatic I ░░░░░░░░ out to Las Vegas ░░░░░░░░ the shooting and that ░░░░░░░░ when a letter was ░░░░░░░░ that I signed along ░░░░░░░░ you with many other ░░░░░░░░ at that time we ░░░░░░░░ to band bump stocks ░░░░░░░░ make semiautomatic fully automatic ░░░░░░░░ that is also legislation ░░░░░░░░ There is so much ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ about here Going further ░░░░░░░░ what you are saying ░░░░░░░░ the president would be ░░░░░░░░ to do based on ░░░░░░░░ conversations with him there ░░░░░░░░ some mixed messages coming ░░░░░░░░ of that White House ░░░░░░░░ they meeting the president ░░░░░░░░ with the NRA last ░░░░░░░░ The president quickly tweeted ░░░░░░░░ that he had a ░░░░░░░░ meeting with the NRA ░░░░░░░░ this is a president ░░░░░░░░ has always said we ░░░░░░░░ not going to agree ░░░░░░░░ everything don t fear ░░░░░░░░ NRA but then the ░░░░░░░░ who was in that ░░░░░░░░ came out and immediately ░░░░░░░░ that he strongly supports ░░░░░░░░ due process and does ░░░░░░░░ want gun control How ░░░░░░░░ we supposed to interpret ░░░░░░░░ BONDI I don t ░░░░░░░░ anyone wants guns in ░░░░░░░░ hands of people who ░░░░░░░░ not have them I ░░░░░░░░ the president is on ░░░░░░░░ side of the American ░░░░░░░░ And I don t ░░░░░░░░ that s necessarily in ░░░░░░░░ with the NRA I ░░░░░░░░ t in that meeting ░░░░░░░░ I can tell you ░░░░░░░░ we are doing in ░░░░░░░░ and what I believe ░░░░░░░░ president supports Again bump ░░░░░░░░ raising the age to ░░░░░░░░ is what we re ░░░░░░░░ in in Florida and ░░░░░░░░ gun violence restraining orders ░░░░░░░░ guns out of the ░░░░░░░░ of people who should ░░░░░░░░ have them because they ░░░░░░░░ a danger to themselves ░░░░░░░░ to others SMITH What ░░░░░░░░ are seeing is that ░░░░░░░░ at the retail level ░░░░░░░░ well companies like dick ░░░░░░░░ say that they are ░░░░░░░░ to stop selling semiautomatic ░░░░░░░░ period This is not ░░░░░░░░ line with the Florida ░░░░░░░░ law currently or let ░░░░░░░░ federal state law As ░░░░░░░░ attorney general of your ░░░░░░░░ is it legal for ░░░░░░░░ companies to ban sales ░░░░░░░░ a particular group based ░░░░░░░░ age BONDI That is ░░░░░░░░ each individual company but ░░░░░░░░ can tell you that ░░░░░░░░ Florida it will be ░░░░░░░░ law Written into our ░░░░░░░░ legislation SMITH But is ░░░░░░░░ okay for the companies ░░░░░░░░ decide that on their ░░░░░░░░ BONDI You can t ░░░░░░░░ a handgun until you ░░░░░░░░ 21 so they are ░░░░░░░░ to private citizens again ░░░░░░░░ Florida it is not ░░░░░░░░ to be an issue ░░░░░░░░ a week and a ░░░░░░░░ or after the governor ░░░░░░░░ the legislation so I ░░░░░░░░ t thought about that ░░░░░░░░ it really doesn t ░░░░░░░░ me at all in ░░░░░░░░ And you know something ░░░░░░░░ that is so important ░░░░░░░░ health and that is ░░░░░░░░ done my part of ░░░░░░░░ 450 million package Governor ░░░░░░░░ is omitted to having ░░░░░░░░ with mental health training ░░░░░░░░ schools working as a ░░░░░░░░ in case these warning ░░░░░░░░ are seen and not ░░░░░░░░ Because we are also ░░░░░░░░ an app that Michigan ░░░░░░░░ this is such an ░░░░░░░░ message if you see ░░░░░░░░ reported From now on ░░░░░░░░ will get followed up
