Florida Ranks Low on Brady Bunch Scorecard

The Brady Campaign ranked all of the states in the U.S. supposedly according to how pro active they are in regulating guns. Here is a quote from their press release.

Five states saw their scores drop: Florida, Georgia and Louisiana for passing laws forcing employers to allow employees to bring guns into workplace parking lots, and two states, West Virginia and Wyoming, for passing so-called “Shoot First” laws that authorize deadly force in public against a perceived threat even if ways to avoid the threat are available.

Ok I get it. They are really ranking the states on how repressive their gun laws are. If the state being ranked is a gun anal state, then they get a high score. If it is a state that allows the citizens the right guaranteed in the constitution to protect themselves with a firearm, then that state gets a low score.

If you look at the top of the list, you will see that California is number 1. Gun Shy lived in California, and let me tell you, there are plenty of illegal guns and gun related crime to go around. I also resided in New Jersey and Massachusetts, and the same holds true for those states. The Brady campaign must have their headquarters on Fantasy Island, because that is what they are promoting to the uninformed general public. If the Brady Campaign really wants to impress someone, they should come up with an Anti Criminal Campaign, and rate the states that are the hardest on criminals for their bad behavior towards law abiding citizens. Then they would have to disclose to everyone how their favorite state of California is planning on releasing repeat offenders back onto the streets, because they believe that having them in crowded conditions violates their human rights. So much for the rights of those they perpetrated their crimes on.

The madman's blog had an interesting commentary about the Brady campaign found here, here, and here.
