SB 7028 was in the Committee on Infrastructure & Security and establishes a “two-pronged” Universal Background Check system.
In a statement, Hammer argued that “it is clearly meant to simply ban all private sales of firearms through red tape and fear.”
Because of the red tape contained in the bill, no law-abiding person would be able to comply with this legislation.
According to Dara Kam of The News Service of Florida, the Senate Infrastructure and Security Committee passed SB 7028 last week which “would close the gun-show “loophole,” create a record-keeping system for private gun sales and set aside $5 million to establish a “statewide strategy for violence prevention.”
In addition, this legislation mandates background checks and a three-day waiting for firearms sold “on property to which the public has the right of access,” such as “a flea market, a gun show, or a firearm exhibit.”
That’s not all.
Kam noted the following:

Florida Man MURDERS Pro-Trump Boss, Drapes American Flag Over Corpse, According to Witnesses
According to a report from Click Orlando, a construction worker with anti-government views has been accused of murdering his boss, who was a “proud and outspoken American and pro-Donald Trump.”
Mason Trever Toney, 28, was arrested on Monday, January 20, 2020 for the murder of his boss, William Knight, 28.
According to the Orange County sheriff’s arrest affidavit, the fatal stabbing was reported at 10:45 a.m. at a construction site at Exit 254 of Florida’s Turnpike near State Road 528.
The arrest affidavit highlighted how a 911 caller reported that his co-worker, Toney, stabbed his boss to death.
Deputies reported that they discovered Knight lying dead next to an excavator with a brand new American flag draped over his body.
Witnesses claim Toney was spotted carrying back a backpack, which allegedly stored the flag, according to the affidavit.
According to witnesses, Toney and Knight were friends outside of work. Knight picked up Toney earlier in the day.
The two ended up getting into an argument over their opposing political views.
The affidavit stated that Toney is very outspoken politically and he said the government is out to get him.
Witnesses said they heard Knight scream for help and caught Toney stabbing him to death with a trowel.
According to the deputies, witnesses attempted to stop the attack and hurled objects at Toney, who then escaped into a truck and drove off while calling the witnesses “terrorists.”
Toney would later be taken into custody in Brevard County and arrested. The murder suspect is currently being held in Orange County without bond.
Friends and family immediately set-up a GoFundMe for Knight’s memorial services.
Knight is survived by his mother and father, brother, sister and immediate family.

bigleaguepolitics--2020-01-22--Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella Was Overheard Scheming How to Remove Trump From Office in 2017

CIA Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella , who filed the complaint based on second-hand information regarding President Trump ’ s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky , was overheard scheming ways to remove Trump from he White House back in 2017 .
According to sources that have spoken with RealClearInvestigations , Ciaramella had a discussion with Sean Misko , an Obama operative who later joined the staff of Rep. Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) , about how to oust the President from his duly-elected position .
“ Just days after he was sworn in they were already talking about trying to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individual in the White House who overheard the conversation between Ciaramella and Misko .
“ They weren ’ t just bent on subverting his agenda , ” the source added .
“ They were plotting to actually have him removed from office.
” take our poll - story continues below Misko left the White House to join Schiff ’ s staff , where he reportedly served as a liaison between Schiff ’ s office and Ciaramella following his whistleblower complaint .
He helped to run Schiff ’ s impeachment inquiry as a lead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Schiff , Ciaramella and Misko came to fruition when President Donald Trump was formally impeached last month .
The trial is now underway despite the fact that the solidly Republican U.S. Senate is seriously unlikely to flip and convict the President .
These revelations about the conversation between Ciaramella and Misko eviscerate the narrative from Democrats that Ukraine-gate occurred because of the “ patriotism ” of an “ apolitical civil servant.
” Instead , it paints the picture of an organized deep state conspiracy working clandestinely to effectively render the political process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like his policies , ” another former White House official said .
“ They had a political vendetta against him from Day One.
” In addition , two members of the National Security Council heard Ciaramella and Misko making brazen anti-Trump remarks in the workplace in the wake of a briefing from former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn .
“ They were popping off about how they were going to remove Trump from office .
No joke , ” said one of Misko and Ciaramella ’ s former colleagues .
“ After Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ America first ’ foreign policy means , Ciaramella turned to Misko and commented , ‘ We need to take him out , ’ ” said a military staffer who was detailed to the MSC .
“ And Misko replied , ‘ Yeah , we need to do everything we can to take out the president.
’ “ The military staffer made it clear that Ciaramella and Misko were plotting seditious activities because of their hatred of President Trump ’ s “ America First ” policy agenda .
The staffer said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they meant removing him from office by any means necessary .
They were triggered by Trump ’ s and Flynn ’ s vision for the world .

Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella Was Overheard Scheming How to Remove Trump From Office in 2017
CIA Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella, who filed the complaint based on second-hand information regarding President Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, was overheard scheming ways to remove Trump from he White House back in 2017.
According to sources that have spoken with RealClearInvestigations, Ciaramella had a discussion with Sean Misko, an Obama operative who later joined the staff of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), about how to oust the President from his duly-elected position.
“Just days after he was sworn in they were already talking about trying to get rid of him,” said an individual in the White House who overheard the conversation between Ciaramella and Misko.
“They weren’t just bent on subverting his agenda,” the source added. “They were plotting to actually have him removed from office.”
Misko left the White House to join Schiff’s staff, where he reportedly served as a liaison between Schiff’s office and Ciaramella following his whistleblower complaint. He helped to run Schiff’s impeachment inquiry as a lead investigator for House Democrats.
The efforts of Schiff, Ciaramella and Misko came to fruition when President Donald Trump was formally impeached last month. The trial is now underway despite the fact that the solidly Republican U.S. Senate is seriously unlikely to flip and convict the President.
These revelations about the conversation between Ciaramella and Misko eviscerate the narrative from Democrats that Ukraine-gate occurred because of the “patriotism” of an “apolitical civil servant.” Instead, it paints the picture of an organized deep state conspiracy working clandestinely to effectively render the political process moot.
“They didn’t like his policies,” another former White House official said. “They had a political vendetta against him from Day One.”
In addition, two members of the National Security Council heard Ciaramella and Misko making brazen anti-Trump remarks in the workplace in the wake of a briefing from former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
“They were popping off about how they were going to remove Trump from office. No joke,” said one of Misko and Ciaramella’s former colleagues.
“After Flynn briefed [the staff] about what ‘America first’ foreign policy means, Ciaramella turned to Misko and commented, ‘We need to take him out,’ ” said a military staffer who was detailed to the MSC. “And Misko replied, ‘Yeah, we need to do everything we can to take out the president.’ “
The military staffer made it clear that Ciaramella and Misko were plotting seditious activities because of their hatred of President Trump’s “America First” policy agenda.
The staffer said: “By ‘taking him out,’ they meant removing him from office by any means necessary. They were triggered by Trump’s and Flynn’s vision for the world. This was the first ‘all hands’ [staff meeting] where they got to see Trump’s national security team, and they were huffing and puffing throughout the briefing any time Flynn said something they didn’t like about ‘America First.’ ”
“It was so shocking that they were so blatant and outspoken about their opinion,” he recalled. “They weren’t shouting it, but they didn’t seem to feel the need to hide it.”
If it wasn’t obvious enough that the impeachment circus was a partisan witch hunt against the President, the news of Ciaramella and Misko’s anti-democratic collusion should make it abundantly clear.

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard ( D-HI ) , who is running for the Democrat nomination for President , has filed a lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she alluded to Gabbard as a “ Russian asset ” in a podcast interview last year .
“ Clinton falsely stated that Tulsi—an Army National Guard officer and United States Congresswoman who has spent her entire adult life serving this country—is a ‘ Russian asset.

Clinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appearance on the Campaign HQ podcast , but it was not difficult to discern who the failed 2016 presidential candidate was referring to with her remarks .
“ She ’ s a favorite of the Russians .
They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far and that ’ s assuming Jill Stein will give it up , which she might not because she is also a Russian asset , ” Clinton said on the podcast .
