Second Amendment

A U.S. district judge has tossed out a lawsuit filed by Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried and other plaintiffs that claim federal prohibitions violate the Second Amendment.

Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried has long championed medical marijuana, now legal in Florida. Her office also issues concealed weapons licenses. Her lawsuit cites a federal form that must be completed by people seeking to purchase guns.
