you liberal think that because They think the world is so nice and there opinion is the only right one we all need to follow it , but the truth is we not, but we not we need this law to help defend our family ’s. We don’t try to ban a Dodge if some one runs over another then what. Keep the law .

Nick better check your facts, Most liberal democrats are anti-gun, and that is the path the party has taken, Why don’t you check out who wants gun control? ( Blue dogs , or the one’s of us who are leaving the party) know because we track these things, No one will ever take my fire arm in the pursuit of (common sense gun control laws) Now I really like Mrs. Kathy Gifford , blue dog democrat that walks the talk. God bless her. I strongly suggest you look at who wants to take your gun rights away. NRA member . Inform your self son , and quit drinking the liberal kool-aid. Stand your ground law is a great law, and long over due.

Hey Rufus, what does Florida’s “stand your ground” law have to do with Zimmerman? But more to the point, seems your alternative is to run and hide. That’s not what I’m going to do. And it seems the men and most women in this nation won’t run and hide either.

Quite frankly, I don’t care what state I’m in, if you come at me or my family threatening me/us, you will suffer the consequences. I will protect my family and myself regardless of what some law says. I have a right to life, which means you can’t take that away. It also means that I have the right to protect my life as well as my family. I can’t believe there are idiots out there who’d rather die than fight for their life.

Oh and Rufus, stand your ground laws are meant for you to protect yourself from getting beat up. A baseball bat is a weapon just like a gun. Not many people are coming at you with their fists anymore, thus the language in the law.

It’s kind of funny (and sad at the same time) that the GOP is running their national campaign for POTUS using issues they would normally claim were state’s rights issues?

Stand your ground laws were NEVER intended to allow you to kill someone to avoid getting beat up, nor are they intended to allow you to chase someone down and instigate a confrontation, as happened in the George Zimmerman case. The minute you become the pursuer, instead of the pursued, is the minute that stand your ground laws no longer apply.

Great news, you will not see the Dem’s doing that.

I read this as inviting the criminal element to focus their preying on Democrats. I guarantee the Dem’s would have a change of opinion to Stand Your Ground if they were at risk as opposed to simply replying to a standardized poll.
