The new bill was enacted by Florida Governor Rick Scott, who is supposedly a staunch ally of the gun lobby.

"Today should serve as an example to the entire country that government can and must move fast," he said.

The bill, known as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, however has not included the ban on the sale of assault-style weapons, despite it being one of the key issues raised by the lobbyists.

But a three-day waiting period on all gun sales has been introduced.

Disapproving the new measures, NRA said that the new law violates the second amendment of the US constitution, while gives people the bear arms.

Further, it said that the law violates 14th amendment's equal protection clause by disallowing law-abiding citizens between 18-21 from buying guns.

"Females between the ages of 18 and 21 pose a relatively slight risk of perpetrating a school shooting... or, for that matter, a violent crime of any kind," the lawsuit reportedly read.

Meanwhile, few experts have called the new law controversial after it was revealed that it allows school staffs to be trained to carry weapons inside campus for safety.
