Florida governor won't say whether he will sign gun bill
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Three weeks after the Parkland high school shooting, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has a gun-control bill on his desk that challenges the National Rifle Association, but it falls short of what the Republican and survivors of the massacre demanded.
Scott has not said yet if he will sign the legislation, and he plans to take up the issue with relatives of those who were slain.
"I'm going to take the time and I'm going to read the bill and I'm going to talk to families," he said.
State lawmakers officially delivered the reform package Thursday. The governor has 15 days to sign it, veto it or let it become law without his signature.
