Davis voted for H.J.Res .59 – Continuing Appropriations Resolution , 2014 , which resulted in the Government Shutdown of 2013 . After the vote , '' Politico '' reported that Davis also intended to vote for a bill that would end the shutdown , stressing that an agreement needed to be made and that " Like most of those I represent , I remain opposed to Obamacare , but a government shutdown is absolutely unacceptable . " In March 2018 , in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting , Davis said the shooting could have been prevented if the perpetrator had been charged with a felony for bringing a gun to school earlier . Davis said he believed more funding should be directed to mental health programs and that loopholes in background checks should be closed , but that he did not see banning guns as a solution
