What is Amendment 2 - It's the NRA vs Florida's Wildlife
A threat to Private Property Rights
Threatens to enable hunters to trespass onto your property in pursuit of the animals they want to kill.
A threat to Wildlife
Even though the planet has lost 69% of its wildlife over the past 50 years, this amendment would create a fundamental right in the Florida Constitution to Hunt and Fish using "traditional methods."
A threat to Marine Populations
This ill-advised amendment could be used to override protections for fish stocks such as effectively nullifying the prohibition on Gill Nets that are a wall of death in the sea.

We are in the midst of a global extinction crisis and a climate crisis. Our wildlife need a break from the carnage. We should be accelerating measures to alleviate the harm being done and mitigate the damage; which includes taking proactive measures to eliminate, as best we can, the unnecessary trapping and senseless killing of our wildlife and to incentivize nonlethal control measures.

The right to hunt and fish already exists in Florida Statutes. The NRA and its political operatives are trying to convince Floridians that hunting and fishing are in jeopardy. They are not currently, but if Amendment 2 passes it will make fishing a "public right" opening up our waters to massive foreign commercial fishing vessels. A "public right" is not restricted to just Florida citizens. Laws are necessary to restrict bad actors from depleting our oceans of fish and our forests of native wildlife. Do you really want to give hunters the right to walk onto your property in pursuit of a raccoon or a bear? This Amendment will lead to hunters trespassing on private property, emboldened with their new constitutional right, as they have done in other states that have passed similar amendments.
