When President
Marion Hammer speaks
most politicians in the Florida government
and
the country
listen!
She really does not
need a weapon!
Because she scares
the bəˈjēzəs out of them!
This is wrong, this
is very, very, wrong!
NRA sway: For
Florida officials, it’s always Hammer time
A Tampa Bay Times
review of hundreds of emails between NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer and the state’s
Department of Agriculture found her sphere of influence stretches far beyond
gun legislation.
Hammer's singular
power over lawmakers, especially Republicans, is the stuff of Tallahassee
legend. Just this March, a New Yorker profile detailed how the 79-year-old gun
rights champion pushed gun laws through Florida's Legislature, transforming the
state into a laboratory for the most contentious gun policies, such as
"stand your ground."
Yet according to a
Tampa Bay Times review of hundreds of Hammer's emails with the state's
Department of Agriculture, her sphere of influence stretches far beyond gun
legislation. Emails from 2014 to 2017 show the lobbyist involves herself in a
wide array of day-to-day tasks of an agency that was accused five years ago in
a lawsuit of being run by the NRA.
The NRA invested
millions in these politicians in 2016
