I was quite happy that my state improved from a D to an F+. If we work hard, we may be able to get all the way down to the gold-standard F- next year! (Although I wasn't aware that we were now allowed to shoot innocent bystanders in Florida. Do you need a tag?)

sanctioning the shooting of innocent bystanders in the name of self-defense;

That is a bold-faced lie.

Oh, how I loathe and detest these people.

If you go to www.bradycampaign.org (shudder) they offer a dropdown to "check your state", but other that the press release I didn't see a master list of the states, no. If you find one, please post it.

I am not going to give the bastards a hit on their web site to find out what grades were.

The states that saw a grading change include Florida, which went from a “D” to an “F+”

My future adopted state...yes!!

Yeah, it's not even a clever shading of a partial truth -- it's just an out-and-out complete falsehood stated with malicious intent.

Florida, which went from a “D” to an “F+” as the first state in America to pass a “Shoot First” law, sanctioning the shooting of innocent bystanders in the name of self-defense

Note the bullcrap in that statement, the "shooting of innocent bystanders." It is nothing of the kind. Boy, that almost makes you angry enough to shoot somebody, doesn't it? /s

Besides, we don't have it made until we rate a F-.

I think it is the hieght of arrogance for them to claim that State Legislatures are failing to protect their own people. Guess what Brady...those legislatures are all elected by the people. It's the people who are deciding what is in their best interests and what constitutes protection...not you, you bunch of demagogues and tyrant-wanna-bes..

And yes, OBTW, DANG, here in Idaho, we opnly got an F+ form these morons and not an F. I am offended and now have work to do in our legislature.

Georgia Receives a "D" on Laws Shielding Families From Gun Violence


Hopefully, the "shoot first" law will pass, and Georgia will improve to F+ or even F.

I tried to go to the site where they list states grades. It's in a pdf file, which my computer hates. Any smarter type FReepers want to help out an oldtimer?

D+ here in Tennessee because two bills put in by Republicans were disposed of by the powers that be. Maybe we can fail better after the next round of elections.

Would love to see an inverse correlation between the Brady score and criminal activity...
