Is it possible to have a statewide election without the NRA calling candidate shots? Yes, that’s a rhetorical question. And thank you, Adam Putnam, for the reminder. Republican gubernatorial candidate Putnam–in trying not to concede Marion Hammer support and not cede the “Deliverance” and alt-right primary votes to Richard Corcoran and Ron DeSantis–wants a change in Florida’s concealed weapons law. He wants to make it easier for those–among the half million who applied for permits last year–to get gun licenses even with incomplete background checks. He really does.
Florida is increasingly notorious for its pandering, GOP gubernatorial candidates. But this is truly low-caliber whoring out.
