Many in the great State of Florida are waking up today with a very tough new gun law. This gun law allows a person to shoot another if he or she feels like they are threatened.
Sitting there with Governor Bush yesterday, was the controversial head of the National Rifle Association who is trying to make this type of legislation the cornerstone of their fight. She laughed and was very proud of herself. And Mrs. Hammer was very proud of the Governor.
Opponents of this bill, many policemen, detectives, and law enforcement associations feel this has a real potential to be abused or misused.
Now, if you live in Florida, you have the right to shoot an intruder or visitor.or anyone you think is threatening you. And what about a bar fight? What about a domestic violence incident?
This type of legislation shows how desperate the NRA and their controversial President Hammer are to push irresponsible legislation and spend the NRA money to influence elections of judges and legislatures to follow their controversial line.
The NRA is a failed organization that has good purposes in the beginning, but, has been taken over by a bunch of irresonsible thugs. Many people, once they read the literature from the NRA, have quit it on the spot.
What Florida has done is irresonsible and unbelievable. And is very dangerous to the citizens of that State as the possibility of abuse of this legislation.

Controversy is a media creation and therefore every NRA President has been "controversial"


The NRA is usually wrong, but this law doesn't change the status quo very much. The subject still has to articulate in court why he felt threatened, and if the explanation isn't plausible, he goes to jail.
