sounds like he doesn't want to be Gov. much longer

from wiki

Rick Scott currently has an A+ rating from the NRA, indicating a record of supporting gun rights.[111] The NRA stated in 2014 that Scott "signed more pro-gun bills into law—in one term—than any other Governor in Florida history"[112] In 2011, Scott signed the Firearm Owners' Privacy Act (informally called "Docs vs. Glocks"), which made it illegal for doctors and mental health professionals to ask patients about their gun ownership unless they believed "that this information is relevant to the patient's medical care or safety, or the safety of others."[113] Provisions of the law, including the part forbidding doctors from asking about a patient's gun ownership, were struck down as unconstitutional in 2017 by a Federal appeals court.[113] On June 9, 2017, Scott signed an expanded version of Florida's stand-your-ground law into law.[114]

 

After the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, Scott initially refused to say that he would commit himself to gun control, or tighten laws to prevent 18-year-olds from buying assault weapons.[115] Scott later stated his support of raising the minimum age to purchase any firearm from 18 to 21; currently in Florida, 21 is the minimum age to buy a handgun, but rifles can be purchased at age 18. Scott also announced his support of a ban on bump stocks. Scott stated, "I want to make it virtually impossible for anyone who has mental issues to use a gun," requesting $500 million USD in funds for mental health and school safety programs
