Florida and Colorado Debate Gun Legislation

In Florida, Rep. Monique Miller and Sen. Blaise Ingoglia have introduced legislation to ban AI technologies for firearm detection in public areas, citing concerns over infringement on Second and Fourth Amendment rights. The proposed Florida bills, SB 562 and HB 491, would make violations a misdemeanor, with exceptions for places where concealed carry is already banned. Meanwhile, in Colorado, Senate Bill 3, which aims to ban the sale and manufacture of semiautomatic firearms, was modified to include an exemption for purchasers who complete a state-regulated training course to secure Governor Jared Polis's support. These legislative efforts in both states underscore ongoing debates over gun rights and safety, balancing technological advancements with constitutional protections.
