Brady Anti-Gun Group Lies to Foreign Tourists

The Brady Campaign to Control Gun Violence is warning foreign tourists that they may be in danger if they visit Florida. The politically active gun-control group is warning Europeans that a new Florida gun law will increase the likelihood that tourists will be shot in the streets if Americans believe their safety is being threatened. The Brady group is spending big bucks in their attempt to hurt Florida's economy. And they are lying to do it.
Sarah Brady, who heads the campaign, said: "We think people visiting Florida should be aware of this law, and act accordingly. Visitors should be very careful about getting into an aggressive argument with anyone during their stay." She claims her group is only trying to protect tourists visiting Florida and they are not trying to hurt the state's economy, which is another lie.
According to the London-based International Television News, 1.5 million British tourists travel to Florida every year, and starting next week, they will be handed leaflets from the gun-control fanatics as they arrive at Miami and Orlando airports.
The Brady organization is out-and-out lying about the new Florida law. First of all, the law addresses use of deadly force in the home not in the streets. The statute allows citizens to use physical deadly force against a person who enters their premises and is a threat to their safety. If a person within a residence feels an intruder will kill or cause serious injury to him or her, or that the intruder will kill or cause serious injury to someone else in that dwelling, that person may use deadly physical force against the intruder to stop the attack.
The law does not apply to incidents outside of the gunowner's home and Sarah Brady and her bunch know it. The previous statute regarding the use deadly physical force by a private citizen stated that if a person could escape from his or her premises and others in that person's home could escape, then they could not claim justifiable homicide. The new law changes that, and rightly so. Why should a person have to retreat from someone invading their home? Only a Liberal would advocate that people should run from their homes when threatened even if they have the means to defend themselves, their families and their home.
Sarah Brady and her bunch of gun-grabbers hope to inflict as much damage as possible on Florida, its economy and it's citizens. And she doesn't care if she has to lie to do it.

Yeah, but WHO wants to vacation in Indiana? LOLTrigg said:Florida isn't the only state with a law like this. Indiana has a similar law, in fact I don't think the burgler has to get all the way into a persons home, just on the property.

Imagine using a cell or pay phone to call for help.Hagbard Celine said:This law leaves open too many possibilities for wackos to kill people and get away with it.
Imagine you're in Florida and your car breaks down so you walk onto somebody's lawn to ask for help and they shoot and kill you because they say you were threatening them. That's stupid. The right to self defense is a given, but no property right is worth more than somebody's life.
The ClayTaurus said:I think the NRA would jump light-years in a lot of peoples books if they were more vocal about responsible gun use and eliminating the illegal gun trade. To a lot of people not involved with them they come off as a group of people who want their guns and don't really care about the consequences to that freedom.
Wouldn't it be nice to see the NRA lobbying for stricter illegal gun punishments?

Keep up..that wasn't my wife that just got a cell..Hagbard Celine said:Well, what if you don't have a cell or your phone goes dead. Your wife just got her cellphone. There are plenty of people out there who don't have cells. And that's just one hypothetical situation. There is an infinite number of others. The law is flawed.
elephant said:There would be no illegal guns if I could buy any gun that I wanted legally. How am I supposed to keep up with criminals or the oppressive government and have a well armed militia if I cannot get the best weapons without breaking the law?
And, no, it wouldn't.
