Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam released the following statement regarding Senate Bill 7026, which would direct a portion of concealed weapon license fees away from their primary purpose.
“I oppose taxing law-abiding concealed weapon licensees for atrocities carried out by criminals. If anyone should be taxed for those heinous acts, it should be criminals.
“The monster who murdered 17 people in Parkland wasn’t even eligible to have a concealed weapon license.”
