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?)

[Lancey Howard]

Is there a link to the actual list?

[colorcountry]

Mine is at D-, there is still room for improvement!

[ARCADIA]

My state earned an F+ (outstanding!)

[holymoly]

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.

[Modok]

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

[CrawDaddyCA]

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

My future adopted state...yes!!

[NonValueAdded]

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-.

[L98Fiero]

Jeez, I bet my state is G or an H. ;)

[Jeff Head]

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.

[supercat]

I wonder how Helping Criminals, Inc. rates Illinois?

[Ragnar54]

D

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.

[mtbopfuyn]

Texas got a D-. Dang it, so close...

[investigateworld]

>>>Is there a link to the actual list?<<<<<

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?

[battlecry]

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

[facedown]

Proudly moving from an A- state to a D+ state soon.

[VRWCmember]

as the first state in America to pass a “Shoot First” law, sanctioning the shooting of innocent bystanders in the name of self-defense;

Talk about misrepresentation! Of course, where I come from we call that "LYING" but then we never preface any response to a question of fact with "that depends on what the definition of 'is' is" here in Texas.

[aShepard]

Well here in Rhode Island, we rated a B- !!

What can we do to improve ourselves to an F????

[DemforBush]

Why, my state rates an "F" but somehow manages to have far less violent crime and fewer shootings than "B" ranked Washington, D.C.

I'm shocked I tell you. SHOCKED!

/sarcasm

[pcottraux]

Ack! I got a "C"!!!

[MarkL]

Darn! Missouri only got a D+. But then, if we really try, maybe we can get a D- or even an F next year!

I want to make Sara Brady cry. And since Kansas just overrode the governor's veto, Kansas citizens will be elligible for CCW after the first of the year! I hope that they'll have a recipricle agreement with MO.

I hope that makes Sara cry.
