Utah, Arizona, and Alaska are the big losers

[Warbirds]

The Brady Campaign for gun control released a list of "their" ranking on all 50 states (sorry this is the 50 states not the full 57) in relation to the state gun laws. Utah (my home), Arizona, and Alaska all scored a big ole 0 (ZERO) and I have never been so proud.

Feels good to be a loser.

A graded list where we all hope to have the lowest score. Do they really think their low scoring for SC will cause me concern? The only thing I want is a lower score.

California must be so proud.

 

[Deserteagle]

I take it lower score somehow relates to better gun laws? I would click on your link to see their explanation of their rating system but I do not want to give the bradybunch a visit and make their site even more popular. I suggest getting rid of that link.

Damn my Texas did not make a zero, we will have to work harder.

 

[SHOOT1stAsk??Later]

Woohoo my Florida got a 3 gotta shot for a goose egg 0 ,next time. And of course Komifornia and new jerseystan Didn't suprise me one bit! .....keep shooting straight !

 

[revjen45]

When I was looking for various states for the purposes of resettlement the Brady Bunch's scorecard was a big help.

 

[towboater]

Woo hoo! Big ole fat 2 need a 0 bet commiefornia is proud and ny is mad

 

[G274me]

God bless Utah! Too bad we could not have got a negative score to break the tie breaker.

 

[Tucker's Mom]

Damn my Texas did not make a zero, we will have to work harder.

Us here in Missouri too...we tie with you Texans....

Okla needs to improve by dropping 2 points. But hey, I like 2 as opposed to 81. Blech!!! It would be time to move.

 

[nogods]

Alaska has the highest per capita violent crime rate of the 50 states. Maybe they are just lousy shots.

 

[GB-Boater]

We've only had CC for four months and we are down to 3, Go Bucky.........

 

[RJ_Whitlock]

I clicked the link sorry... but good god are these people a bunch of wackos.

''California continues to blaze legislative trails in saving lives, rising to a high of 81 points on the 2011 Brady State Scorecard rankings of state gun laws. California’s universal background check system, retention of purchase records, limiting handgun purchases to one a month, and an assault clip ban are just some of the laws that provide a road map to preventing gun violence.''

I'm pretty sure even with their ridiculous laws people are still getting killed by criminals. God they are full of *****.

I love it here in Arizona.

 

[Tucker's Mom]

I love it here in Arizona.

I must admit...the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life so far was in Arizona. It is like "touching God". (And no, I am not a tree-hugger.) If my husband did not complain so much, I would have had a lot more red rocks...and even just one black one too...just one. <sigh> and I am out of this topic. sorry...

Okla needs to improve by dropping 2 points. Better luck to us for next year.

 

[concealedinla]

2 rating!

Going to have to work harder!

Damn Vermont Tied with New Hampshire at 27th, and I thought we would at least be 48th or 49th. We have to do more to get lower on the scale. Wait what else can we do to get a better score. We have almost no firearms laws, we have no CCW permit laws, We are constitutional carry since day one. Anyone who is a citizen of the US or Resident of Vermont can carry here as long as you are not a felon or one who is prohibited from owning a firearm. Go figure.......

 

[FTG-05]

I am totally disgusted by Alabama's score. Disgusted I tell you!

 

[unclewayne17]

Just look at the makeup of the population and how many illeagles are there amount of gangs. And lest we forget if regular people can have guns to protect themselves.
