The National Rifle Association (NRA) on April 9 hailed a Florida appeals court ruling to uphold a 2011 state law that threatens tough penalties if city and county officials approve gun-related regulations that are stricter than state laws.
“MAJOR NRA COURT WIN: Florida appellate court upholds preemption statute and says that public officials can be fined for overriding state law and implementing local gun control,” the gun-rights group said on Twitter.
