Do the actions of George Zimmerman threaten 2nd Amendment rights of others?

Laughable post as this is an NRA- sponsored measure. It feeds the fantasy many have of going after the "criminal" and getting away with it.

It is not really gun control, anyway. It's more about the "life is a movie" mentality the gun nuts have.

I don't think the "Stand Your Ground" law applies to what this moron did in any way. The law doesn't cover getting out of your car and following someone because you don't like the look of them.

I'm not sure how this works. "No Duty To Retreat" doesn't do dingus to justify "going after" anybody. This is the primary thing that's going against Zimmerman...his apparent instigation of the confrontation.

I'm starting to understand why you are so vigorously defending Zimmerman. You don't like the SYG law.

I don't either, but no matter how hard you try to argue, that law does not offer any protection to Zimmerman.

The fact that this is NRA sponsored legislation goes my point that they should be the loudest voice arguing that the law is being misapplied.

Sadly, it does in the view of some if these vigilante types.

For the year before the law, 13 shootings in Florida were deemed justified self defense. The year after? 36.

Not sure what this factoid does. Can you site which cases and why they shouldn't have been justified shootings? On the surface it just looks like good guys shooting bad guys without evidence to the contrary.

I don't get the race angle. It was a crime between two minorities from different backgrounds.

Only white guys can be racist. LG told me so.
