unless their legislature passes new gun control legislation.
Good idea, David!
If there's one thing the GOP listens to, it's the sound off money.

One of the Parkland school shooting survivors is calling on tourists to boycott the State of Florida for spring break as a way to get legislators attention focused on gun control.
Let's make a deal DO NOT come to Florida for spring break unless gun legislation is passed, David Hogg, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student who is a leader in the #neveragain movement, posted on Twitter on Saturday.
Hogg said he hoped his tweet would make state politicians listen if the billion-dollar tourism industry in Florida makes gun control measures a priority.
If the legislators arent going to listen to us, like they didnt listen to us in Tallahassee the other day, maybe theyll listen to the tourism industry, Hogg told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in a phone interview.
