The Brady Campaign is trying to scare the wits out of tourists planning a visit to Florida.
This courtesy of the Scotsman.com:
"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."

Wake me when the sticker says "USA residents can use deadly force"
Be nice and we will not have to shoot you. Become nasty and all bets are off.
I would be pissed if I were a Brit. Are they insinuating that Brits are a bunch of lawbreakers coming over here to break the law?
Britons to pamphlet waving kooks: we'll drink and throw up on you.

Gun-rights groups announced that they will publish ads in British publications informing citizens that they will be perfectly safe in Florida as long as they remember not to run in the subways while they're visiting. . .
LOL Could you pass the word along to the french? we just might shoot them for the hell of it.
Would someone with Photoshop skills PLEASE change this graphic from "visitor warning" to "criminal warning"
COME BACK TO MIAMI....
.....We weren't shooting at you!
A Scot gets the benefit of the doubt, but we'll shoot a Frenchman on principle.

(Hey, that site-name--I didn't make it up)
The tourism bureau can simply sue them for billions in lost revenue.
LOL Good one!
You got that right...
Maybe now the official language of Florida will be "english" from now on...
If we can get enough of them to migrate...
If Florida can show a loss in income the state should sue the Bradys right out of existance!
More garbage from Sarah Brady and her clueless bunch of asinine hoplophobes.
Hey, Mrs. Brady, I'm sorry for what happened to your husband, but I didn't shoot him. The idiot who shot him was apprehended and has been in custody since 1981. Don't blame the millions of law-abiding firearms owners for what happened to your husband. Focus your anger where it rightly belongs, on the little jerk who pulled the trigger.
I got news for them, mess around my house after dark here in the Peoples Socialist Communist Liberal Leftist State of Occupied Washington state and I will shoot you also.
This will backfire, bigtime, on the anti-gunners. Average Joe (and the Brit equivalent....errrr Winston) aren't as stupid as the shrill marxists think they are.
Let's see now....
European tourist says to himself, " UH, duh, go to an American city where crime is high and handguns are not allowed. Uh, go to an American city where handguns are allowed and crime is low.Hmmmm. Where should I go with my family?"
Many Europeans think this country is literally like the Wild West...that is, until they come to Florida and there are no cowboys riding horses up to the malls and the shopping is great! Oh, and one more thing...it's CHEAPER for them often to vacation here.
"Many Europeans think this country is literally like the Wild West"
Some years ago I was doing a living history gig at a state historic park. A tourist from Sweden actually asked me, "Where are the cowboys and Indians?"
