Giffords, the civilian disarmament advocacy operation run by Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords, has just released their annual ratings of gun laws throughout these United States. In case it isn’t clear, this is one test you want your state to fail.
Giffords rates 22 states as having what our readers and millions of American gun owners would consider good gun laws. In other words, Giffords gives them a grade of F.
You can probably guess the Second Amendment-infringing states on which Giffords bestowed their highest mark. They are California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Hawaii. No surprises there.
Giffords even provides commentary on the 2018 “progress†each state made in restricting the right to keep and bear arms. For our F-rated home state of Texas, they say . . .
Texas did not enact any firearm-related legislation in 2018. The state has very weak gun safety laws and is a major exporter of crime guns. To raise its grade above an F and save lives from gun violence, Texas should pass universal background checks, prohibit hate crime offenders from accessing guns, and repeal its dangerous campus carry law.
Yay us!
As for the gun control nirvana of California . . .
California continued to strengthen its already strong gun laws in 2018 by, among other things, raising the minimum age to purchase and manufacture guns and broadening its domestic violence laws. To uphold its role as a leader in gun violence prevention, California should also substantially increase its investment in violence intervention programs, restrict bulk firearm purchases, and regulate the sale of homemade “ghost gun†components.
And yet Californians are abandoning the state at the rate of about 2000 per week. Go figure.

My home state of Texas and my adopted home state of Kentucky both got an F.
This is one time where a failing grade is a good thing.

Ohio comes through with a D. Not bad!

I am very disappointed here in FL. We received a C-. Thanks Gov. Scott for your compromise on the 2A! 9999hair out0000 Rubio also has a bill in the works that would also infringe upon our 2nd amendment rights. 888mouth

Your NRA rep down there Marion Hammer and the newly appointed anti-gun Ag Commissioner and her deputy aren't doing Florida any favors either.

Ok...I plead naivety on both Hammer and Moody. Info please. Thank you.

This is fabricated bullshit. PA hasn't had any gun laws passed forever, we have the Castle Doctrine and I don't need to take some stupid test to get a carry license. Oregon is the opposite yet they have the same score?

YOur new Ag Commissioner and her deputy are very popular with the Moms Demand Action and Everytown of Gun Safety.

The AG Commissioner in Florida oversees the states concealed handgun permitting process.
She's vowed to limit Ms. Hammer's access to her office.
Speaking of Ms. Hammer:
She was vocal in her support of banning bump stocks...she attacks any home grown Florida pro gun rights groups that don't think the way she does...she hasn't attended a BoD meeting in almost four years...and the goes negative against anyone running for the board that suggests change or reform.
She's part of a good old boy network in the NRA hierarchy that would make Mitch McConnell proud.

Giffords, the civilian disarmament advocacy operation run by Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords . . .
You would think they would have named their organization in honor of John Roll instead of Gabby Giffords. Oh well . . .

Meat puppet Giffords' home state got an "F!" Yay us!
She and her lunatic Astronaut hubby can go pound sand.

Take a good look at that map.
For some time, I've used the terms "new slavery states" and "traditional freedom states".
One need only look at the map, to understand which are which.

North Dakota got the best grade: an "F"!

WI got a C- too but I don't know why. As I recall in Florida a White/Mexican hunted down, then killed baby Travon to steal his skittles, and Gov Scott bent over for the gun controllers. Correct me if I'm wrong. You would know better than me, I just get the Fake news.
But WI Gov Walker in 2011 passed concealed carry and the Castle Doctrine which says "you step on my land and I can shoot you until I stop."
On, Aug 5th 2012 a white patriot shot the hell out of a muslim church a sikh church which looks a lot like a muslim church because the worshipers have dark brown skin. It doesn't really matter, really. What I'm trying to say is they ain't Christian so it's not necessarily a bad thing. My Governor told the gun grabbers "Bite Me."
How does WI rate a C-? That's bu11sh1t. D- at worst. We have stores that sell ammo, booze, porn, fireworks, and cooked meat(not aligator). Dream the Dream Florida.

Alabama made slight progress, but the Sheriff Association kept the ability to carry in cars from passing with the help of RINO GOP nad-less pukes. That and the NRA which balked at supporting the gun legislation. I have honest got no respect for the NRA after they punted and sided with the sheriffs to keep the money rolling in taxing your right to carry in state.
Join the GOA or your local gun organizations that push for Constitutional Carry, the NRA is a waste of your money.

Is this a campaign finance violation? Now that Mark Kelly is running for senator.

Put out by a politician protected by people with guns.
