[QUOTE="therodog, post: 51618"] Pantagraph Editorial Monday, October 10, 2005 Gun-control group misfires Under the guise of "warning" visitors about a change in Florida law, a gun-control group is needlessly and fraudulently scaring tourists. The leafleting by the national (James) Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is nothing more than a political ploy. The group doesn't like Florida's so-called "stand your ground" law, which allows people to use force in self-defense without first attempting to retreat from a threatening situation. The Brady Campaign calls it the "Shoot First" law in its leaflets. The group is entitled to its opinion. But it is dirty politics to imply that visitors' safety is at risk because of the law. The leaflets, which have been distributed at airports in Miami and Orlando, proclaim "An Important Notice to Florida Visitors" in red type and advise people not to "argue unnecessarily with local people" and not to "shout or make threatening gestures" if someone seems angry with them. In criticizing the law, Brady Campaign spokesman Peter Hamm said, "It could cause the most aggressive people in society to overreact." It looks more like members of the Brady Campaign are the ones overreacting. [/QUOTE]
