Pulse survivors urge Florida assault weapons ban
Pulse survivors spoke at a news conference at the Orange County Courthouse urging a new Florida bill to ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines. Angel Colon recounted his injuries and called for action to protect the community and 49 victims, while Brandon Wolf framed the bill as a stand against arming hate. The measure, by Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith and Rep. Linda Stewart, would ban sale or transfer of assault weapons, define large capacity mags, and require proof of prior purchase to avoid felony charges if enacted in October.
