Cheap Shot
What a low blow the anti gun crowd is now sinking to. They would cut off their nose to spite their face I bet. With the recent passing of a new/rewriten law on the use of handguns in order to protect ones self in Florida, the anti gun lobby swings into backstabbing action. Taking out full page adds and passing out fliers to potential tourists tellinf them they would be shot if they visit Florida. The fact the people of Florida want to be able to defend themselves form drug pushers , carjackers and other criminals does not matter to the antigun crowd. In their eyes you must kowtow to anyone anytime anywhere. Defense of ones person and property in their eyes is unconstitutional and wrong.

IT IS Britain's most popular transatlantic holiday destination, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors a year with its sun-drenched beaches, theme parks and wildlife.
But Florida's £30 billion tourism industry is under threat from a campaign launched by a gun-control group which warns visitors they could be killed.
A series of alarming adverts, to be placed in British newspapers, warns potential tourists about a new law allowing gun owners to shoot anyone they believe threatens their safety.
The Brady Campaign to Control Gun Violence, based in Washington DC, has pledged to "educate" tourists by placing adverts in US cities, and in key overseas markets such as Britain.
"Warning: Florida residents can use deadly force," says one of the adverts. Another reads: "Thinking about a Florida vacation? Please ensure your family is safe. In Florida, avoid disputes. Use special caution in arguing with motorists on Florida roads."
The Brady Campaign - named after Jim Brady, the spokesman for Ronald Reagan who was paralysed by a gunshot during the 1981 assassination attempt on the then-president - promises to also run adverts in French, German and Japanese newspapers. The campaign officers also plan to hand out leaflets on roads leading into the state.
TO EDUCATE TOURISTS ON THE LAW. THATS A SPIN! WHAT THE GOAL ACTUALLY IS IS TO CUT OFF ECONMIC TRADE IN FLORIDA. THIS PRESSURE IN THE ANTI GUN MIND IS TO BE USED TO CHANGE THE LAW. THIS ISN'T AN ATTEMPT TO AID ANYONE BUT TO BLACKMAIL FLORIDA'S TOURIST COMMUNITY TO CHANGE THE LAW AND FALL INTO THE ANTIGUN CAMP.
I URGE EVERYONE TO TAKE A VACATION TO FLORIDA. HANG OUT AT THE BEACH VISIT THE SUNSHINE STATE NOW. SHOW THESE NUT BALLS THEY CAN NOT INTIMEDATE PEOPLE WITH THEIR LIES ON THE TRUTH.
