Gun rights advocates have been fighting to overturn a Florida law setting the minimum age to buy a gun at 21 since the day the measure was signed, in the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018.

A 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg, after JSO said he and 5 other children ages 12 to 16 were playing with a gun, unsupervised.

Jacksonville moms fighting against gun violence came together Friday for Gun Violence Awareness Day.

The House has passed a wide-ranging gun control bill in response to recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas.

There is a push around the state for what some groups are calling common sense gun safety measures.  The group, Moms Demand Action, held events around the state, including here in Jacksonville. They’re asking the Florida legislature to reject legislation they say would save lives, but one gun rights proponent disagrees.
