How many more incidents like this will it take before legislators finally decide to repeal the idiotic "Stand Your Ground" laws?

    Someone says someone is shooting at him. He shoots back. They shooting back accidentally hits an innocent bystander. Your response is to make it illegal to shoot back if someone's shooting at you?

    This is why gun control is so important. Hit what you're aiming at and be aware of your backstop?

    It hasn't been established yet whether the girls had fired first. If they had, his response was appropriate. If not, then blame the judge, not the law.

    The only thing "idiotic" about Stand Your Ground laws is that we need them to be able to exercise what should be considered a right. The right to go peaceably about your business without having to give way to bullies, thugs and criminals.

    What's that saying, again... "Today, 80 million law abiding gun owners didn't shoot or kill anyone"
