Didn't bother to read it. The same reasoning, of the anti Second
amendment bunch, here, was used by the Sullivan gang, to get the
infamous NY Sullivan, anti Second amendment, Law passed.
The Sullivan gang and others were being killed or injured quite
frequently when they assaulted Citizens or broke into their homes.
So they got this Law passed by the Sleazy Politicians of the time by
paying them off.
It's still on the books denying Ordinary Citizens their right to posses
the means to defend themselves from the predators.
There are many camps in the arguments. One being racist and anything
involving one of the race, whatever it is, should not face the
consequences of their criminal activity. Another is that socialist idea
that people don't have the right to defend themselves at all. As a
member of the flock, the Shepard , them, has the only right to
administer consequence after you are long dead. And there is the stupid
proportional defense idiocy.
The Stand Your Ground Law is a further protection allowing what is moral
and lawful already: the ability to defend you and yours without worrying
about being prosecuted for defending yourself.
The idea of your recourse being to flee and hide is simply idiocy.
