FAQ
Florida: (a) The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law.
If it's dangerous and unusual. usually meaning if it's mostly used by those who are intent on doing harm unlawfully, then they're not going to be protected. And the paradigmatic weapon there is a machine gun. So, machine guns, the Supreme Court has said, can be banned.
The second amendment applies to all bearable arms. This includes any man portable firearm or weapons system, as well as artillery pieces and warships. During the revolution, and after the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were ratified, private citizens owned everything from swords to cannon armed warships.
Federal law outlaws the possession of firearms or ammunition by several categories of people, including: convicted felons. anyone who's been convicted of a misdemeanor for domestic violence or is under a domestic violence restraining order.
Cruikshank, one of the Court's holdings was that the Second Amendment only prevented the federal government from infringing on a person's right to bear arms. In other words, the Second Amendment's guarantees do not protect people from private actors or state governments that may try to prevent them from bearing arms.
A general restoration of civil rights does not include the restoration of the right to own, possess or use a firearm. In order to restore firearm authority, an application is required and there is a waiting period of eight years from the date sentence expired or supervision terminated.
Andd so, the flip side though is that weapons that are "dangerous and unusual" do not get protection. So even if you might think, oh well that's fairly common. if it's dangerous and unusual. usually meaning if it's mostly used by those who are intent on doing harm unlawfully, then they're not going to be protected.
Felons can get their gun rights back or restored in Florida after eight (8) years. The 8 year waiting period begins when you have completed all imposed conditions sentences, and supervision has either expired or been completed.
