In recent years, the growing regularity of mass shootings and rising rates of gun violence, have made gun control one of the most polarizing issues in American politics.
While Florida has done more to regulate firearms than much of the rest of the country, the state's gun control policies are not especially strong.
According to a 2023 Gallup survey, 84% of likely Democratic voters say that gun laws should be stricter, compared to only 31% of likely Republican voters.
In the absence of legislative action on Capitol Hill, many states have exercised their authority to expand upon federal gun control policies, while others have adopted a hands-off approach.
