Florida prosecutors have filed a court brief opposing the state attorney general's push to allow certain felons to own guns, creating an unusual political split over Second Amendment rights.

The Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association filed a court brief on Friday opposing Attorney General James Uthmeier's push to arm non-dangerous felons, creating a rare split among the state's 20 elected prosecutors (15 of whom are Republicans like Uthmeier) over Second Amendment rights for ex-convicts.
