What?? Putting their nose where it doesn’t belong? Wasn’t Zimmerman working when he shot Martin? What about the guy that was present during a mass shooting and he shot and killed the perp? He should’ve minded his own business? Really? Btw I’m curious where you get your info from?

I’ve always said if you don’t like guns don’t own one but don’t make us gun owners, who do what you’re afraid to do, into crazies just because you disagree with our actions. I pray that you are never in a situation where your life is at risk and a law abiding citizen with a gun next to you decides to “mind his own business.” If so I hope you’re at peace with your maker.

The key is that it forces the burden of proof over to the state. As it stands now, “stand your ground” is one of very few instances where the burden is on the *individual* to prove that reason existed to draw and shoot.

if a gangster runs into a church, shoots seven of his ex-homies for leaving the gang and then gets caught, it is still up to the state to prove he did it.

but a man getting beaten down by a hoodrat thief in orlando shoots in self-defense, and he had to produce the evidence necessary it was self-defense, and the state still went ahead with prosecution on the basis of a 911 call where the operator told him to stop what he was doing?

Hint: courts at the federal level have already decided that 911 operators cannot give orders because there is no way to enforce them. the state of florida disregarded those rulings because florida’s federal circuit court of appeals was not one of the districts which issued the ruling. this of course left zimmerman open to appeal should have been convicted.

you didn’t think i was making either of those cases up, did you?
