Matt Gaetz claims active shooter alert bill is anti-Second Amendment

“They hope that if they programme you and bombard you long enough, that you’ll hate your own Second Amendment rights, or that you may tattle on your neighbour, who is lawfully and rightfully exercising theirs,” the Republican representative for Florida said.
