Stand your ground promotes gun epidemic

Because of Floridaโ€™s โ€œStand your groundโ€ law, George Zimmerman stalked unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and eventually shot him to death without suffering legal consequences. ย Since then โ€œStand your groundโ€ attitude has been adopted all over America whether it is legal or mot. Examples are:

  • Teenager is shot by homeowner because he mistakenly went to the wrong address
  • Texas teenage girl cheerleader is shot because she mistakenly went to the wrong car in a parking lot
  • In Florida, a neighbor shot to death a mother of four with her 9-year-old son standing right beside her because of a dispute over her children trespassing.

Your enemy might have a gun. โ€œStand your ground,โ€ So shoot him before he shoots you. โ€œ๐™Š๐™ค๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™จ..๐™„ ๐™™๐™ž๐™™๐™ฃโ€™๐™ฉ ๐™ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™๐™š ๐™™๐™ž๐™™ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™– ๐™œ๐™ช๐™ฃ.โ€

A Jehovahโ€™s Witness at the door is risking his life. โ€œStand your groundโ€ by putting him in the ground. โ€œ๐™Š๐™ค๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™จโ€ฆ๐™„ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™—๐™ž๐™—๐™ก๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™จ ๐™– ๐™œ๐™ช๐™ฃ.โ€

This โ€œstand your groundโ€ mentality is killing innocent, unarmed people and it will be tough to get that genie back in the bottle. Domestic violence will become gun violence. A simple mugging will become gun violence. You get the picture? Have you got a gun yet? The irony is that the more guns we have is the less safe we will be.
