Seeking To Make Schools Safer, Florida Legislators Take Up Gun Measures
State lawmakers are tackling bills that, if passed, would impose age limits on gun sales, implement a waiting period and allow authorities to confiscate weapons.

The measures are aimed at making schools safer for children but present a challenge to the National Rifle Association's grip on the state's Republican leaders,.
