Comments regarding article commenting on Florida's crime rate

The Brady Campaign consistently demonizes Florida due to their common sense gun laws. Florida has been a trendsetter regarding legally licensed citizens carrying a handgun for self defense, "Stand Your Ground" laws, and other important pieces of legislation. People can look to Florida (as their laws have been in place the longest) to see how completely asinine gun control activists' claims of "returning to the Wild West" or "bloodbaths in the streets" have always been.

After Florida passed their "Stand Your Ground" legislation, The Brady Campaign began erecting these billboards all over the state:


I think these should be placed everywhere if you change the word "Visitor" to "Criminal." They forget to mention that the justification for deadly force hasn't changed in that you still need to fear for your life and have not instigated/escalated the situation.

I wonder why The Brady Campaign doesn't put up billboards in Illinois and Wisconsin that say "Attention Criminals - It is illegal for our citizens to defend themselves. Happy pickings."
