National Rifle Association lobbyist Marion Hammer this week sent out a blistering critique of Democratic Agriculture-Commissioner candidate Nikki Fried, who opened October by saying she would curtail Hammers access to the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Hammers Monday statement to members of the NRA and the Unified Sportsmen of Florida labeled Fried an anti-gun extremist who will eliminate our freedoms. The lobbyist also reaffirmed the NRAs endorsement of Republican Matt Caldwell to replace term-limited Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
In addition, Hammer pointed out that Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control group co-founded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, supports Fried. Last week, the group announced it was putting $1.8 million behind Fried, in addition to $2 million going to support Fried and two other Democrats running for state Cabinet posts Sean Shaw, who is running for attorney general, and Jeremy Ring, who is running for state Chief Financial Officer.
Fried said in an Oct. 1 letter that her administration will not be run by unelected special interests, after reports of email exchanges between Hammer and Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services officials. But Hammer said in this weeks statement that she never got the letter from Fried.

I doubt if even given an explanation I will understand this!
The Second Amendment supporters did not want a hostile agency in charge of issuing permits.
The issuance of permits was given to the Agriculture commission.
It was a brilliant move, as they tend to be politically neutral about permits.
Florida has had enormous success with their CCW program.
Caldwell, the Republican running for Agriculture Secretary, is going to be the one replacing Adam Putnam. Ashley Moore, will defeat Sean Shaw, who is a politician, Moody knows what she’s doing ( and she is hot, too.).
