00:00Today we are suing the city of Jacksonville for knowingly maintaining an illegal gun registry
00:05in violation of Florida law. In July 2023, after Mayor Deegan took office, Jacksonville City
00:13Management approved and implemented a logbook, a gun registry that required security officers
00:19to screen visitors and record the visitor's name, age, state-issued ID number, and the weapon type
00:26of anyone found to be carrying a firearm. Jacksonville continued this practice until April 2025 when
00:33an individual attempted to enter a city building while legally carrying a firearm. The individual
00:38was unlawfully denied entry by security officers on duty when he would not provide the requested
00:44information. Florida law prohibits government entities from keeping a registry of privately
00:50owned firearms or their owners. The city's logbooks, maintained with city management's knowledge
00:57and approval, constitute such a registry.
