Look I am not an anti 2nd amendment person, I own plenty of guns, but a state that enacts a law that allows you to gun down someone if you "feel" threatened by them is just plain wrong.

Let me qualify myself. There are already laws that allow you to use lethal force if someone is threatening your life. A seventeen year old black kid should not be killed for walking to the corner store to buy skittles, and a drink Then, when trying to walk back home, he is confronted, and then murdered by an asshole who thinks he is the self appointed protector of the gated community.

This is not what pisses me off the most. The asshole who killed the kid, in cold blood, still has not been arrested. It has been a month since the shooting.

This is the law the prick is hiding behind:

Under Florida law, there is no "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a lawful right to be. Instead, you may stand your ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others.

Those must have been some deadly Skittles. It is the "reasonably believe " part that doesn't work in the law. Who determines what is reasonable if their is no arrest and no trial. The cops!?

Thanks Jeb, you did a great deed signing this stinker into law. Guess you are a committed NRA guy, even though your father despised the NRA, but that is another story

BTW, Since when is an Hispanic man (the shooter) a white man. I can't believe these news reporters.
