Excerpt from a Time.com article:
“But Florida’s cities and towns are virtually powerless to enact tougher gun regulations. As the Miami Herald pointed out, the Florida state legislature passed a law in 2011 allowing it to fine any mayor $5,000 personally, and even remove that mayor from office, if he or she tries to enforce stricter firearms laws. Towns that attempt to enforce local laws that aren’t in line with state gun regulations face up to $100,000 in legal damages as well.”
What a mess!
