Hey, It's Good For Business!

Florida Rethug Congressman Dennis Baxley is clearly a man with a sharp eye toward good business opportunities, especially when it comes to guns. To explain, here's Carl Hiassen in the Miami Herald:
"It’s only fitting that the NRA’s biggest tool in Florida is a funeral director.

He is Rep. Dennis Baxley, an Ocala Republican who does whatever the gun lobby wants.

Three days after the slaughter of first-graders in Newtown, Conn., Baxley made national headlines by suggesting that weapons should be carried by employees at public schools."
(our emphasis)
Baxley has also drawn attention in the past for his views on so-called "stand your ground" legislation in Florida, as well as his intolerant religious views and racism, a propos a New Confederate Rethuglican.
