Fox News<\/a> reports firearm permits were revoked from hundreds of Florida residents after the state’s agricultural commissioner said that a “deceitful” employee was unable to log in to the background check system for over a year.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of permit applications went unchecked because of the error, according to the Tampa Bay Times.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Agricultural Commissioner Adam Putnam said that 291 gun licenses were ultimately revoked from state residents.<\/p>\n

The employee responsible for the lapse was fired, according to News 6 in Orlando.<\/p>\n

“The problem went unresolved until discovered by another worker in March 2017 \u2014 meaning that for more than a year applications got approved without the required background check,” the Times reported.<\/p>\n

Putnam is running for Florida governor with a campaign that touts his expansion of concealed carry permits. More than 1.9 million people are licensed to carry concealed weapons in Florida.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

291 disapproved background checks out of \u201ctens of thousands\u201d submitted sounds remarkably low to me. Why are we doing these again? Oh, that’s right- to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. We all know how well THAT <\/strong>works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
