On the other hand, if it gets law enforcement in other counties to make arrests in DV cases so they can get the guns, it might help.

Most likely this was pushed by NRA people as retaliation for Israel's comments on gun control.

Florida house and senate repukes are the worst!!

Either he resigns or the Republican representatives resign.

He has no reason to consider resignation. Everyone wants to hang this on the Sheriff. He trained the officers and gave them weapons. Those that chose not to go in will have to live with that. And who's to say it would have done any good?
There's only one person to blame and that's the shooter.

They used to have them in the Soviet Union.

Sheriff comes on CNN, supports students, and blasts the NRA spokesperson...of course the GOP is coming for his job.

The Governor can't suspend him because he doesn't work for him. He works for Broward County.
This letter is the Republican Speaker's version of doing something about gun control. He knows it won't go anywhere.

I'd rather not see the governor suspend Sheriff Israel. Because as you said, the sheriff was elected.

What I would like to see is Sheriff Israel fired by the voters in a recall election. He has to go. It's like when a navy ship is involved in a major incident. It might have been the fault of an ensign standing watch on the bridge. But the captain has to go. And the captain does go.

He's a Democrat the last I looked..
