Laws like Stand Your Ground have been sponsored by the American Legislative Exchange Council to increase firearms sales mainly. During debate in Florida in 2005 one of the state legislatures said it would turn his state into the OK Coral. Jeb Bush has come forward in the past day or so stating that how Zimmerman and his attorney's are using the law is not anything like how he intended it when he signed it into law.
Now there's this. Thanks Mitch Daniels.
