firearms and high-capacity magazines after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
massacre. The Legislature wants neither. So Floridians, at best, will
get only modest changes to gun laws. As always, Republicans will keep
the emphasis on the shooter, not the weapon. Schools will get help with
security, but there will be no guarantee of that help being permanent.
Which bring us to the next item. Floridians want more help for

schools and private schools. So for the second straight year we got an

'The Bachelor': Bekah M. calls Arie out for DM'ing her after the show
Monday night, Arie Luyendyk Jr. delivered one of The Bachelor‘s most
dramatic finales, and now he’s paying the price. After choosing Becca
Kufrin at the final rose ceremony and getting down on one knee, the
finale’s third hour saw the recently engaged Arie second-guessing his
decision. More specifically, he couldn’t stop thinking about Lauren

thoughts on the twist, and among them was former contestant Bekah
Martinez.
