National Review Online:
SYG Laws Not a ‘License to Murder’

0

(GunReports.com) — The editors of National Review Online recently did a clean, clear job of reacting to demands that self-defense laws enacted in many states to protect victims don’t get repealed because of the Trayvon Martin case in Florida. From the article:”Since the Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford, Fla., made headlines, various commentators have called on states to repeal their ‘Stand Your Ground’ and ‘Castle Doctrine’ laws. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has called Stand Your Ground a ‘license to murder.’ However, these laws are reasonable protections for citizens who defend themselves, and in fact they are unlikely to determine the fate of Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman.…”…Simply put, it is unreasonable to demand that crime victims go out of their way to avoid fighting back. Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws remove that demand, and the case of Trayvon Martin should not inspire their repeal.”http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/295868/not-license-murder-editors?pg=2
