Kids With Guns on Social Media

Kids photographing guns and posting those pics on social media may (not likely) become illegal in Florida.

I suppose it is an image of one of the Columbine shooters like this that the bill sponsor intends to prohibit.

But it specifically prohibits a photo like this one if taken by a child and posted online.

The bill; http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill...illText/__/PDF

Children posting otherwise benign photos to social media would be committing a crime.

Quote:

A minor who posts or publishes a picture of a firearm, a BB gun, an air or a gas-operated gun, or a device displayed to resemble a firearm to a social media page, post, profile, or account that is openly viewable to the public commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

The parent of a child who appears in the offending photo with a gun can be required to attend classes or community service with the child.

Quote:

Any firearm that is possessed or used by a minor in violation of this section shall be promptly seized by a law enforcement officer and disposed of in accordance with s.790.08.

This is unusual. I don't think I've ever read a bill that required prompt action to seize property without due process before. Trump would likely approve as he is not a fan of due process when it comes to taking guns away.

I think this would be a violation of 4th and 5th amendment rights.
