Although several survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting were in attendance yesterday, the Florida House of Representatives killed legislation to bring back the ban on assault weapons
Republicans who control the legislature did tackle another pressing issue of our time, however, by voting to designate porn as a "public health risk."
The state's House of Representatives approved the resolution by a voice vote on Tuesday. The resolution states a need for education, research and policy changes to protect Floridians, especially teenagers, from pornography.
Republican Rep. Ross Spano says there is research that finds a connection between pornography use and mental and physical illnesses, forming and maintaining intimate relationships and deviant sexual behavior. Spano is also a candidate for attorney general.
If you vote for an attorney general who considers porn a bigger threat to public health than the proliferation of guns and assault rifles, you deserve what's coming to you.
The same goes for every elected office. Stop voting for these assholes. Vote for their opponents even if their opponents aren't ideologically pure enough. Someone who votes with you 90 percent of the time is better than someone who never does.
Stop voting for people who want you dead.
