A National ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law Makes Sense for America

There are few laws more misunderstood than “Stand Your Ground” – especially Florida’s current version.

Stand Your Ground has become an anti-gun fundraising issue, something they’ve made synonymous with the 2012 death of Trayvon Martin – even though George Zimmerman never invoked the statute.

To be clear, despite mainstream media accounts to the contrary, Zimmerman’s was never a Stand Your Ground case.

The gun-ban industry and its adherents in the media have tried to demonize the statute as a “shoot first” or “license to kill” law. As with most everything they write about the Second Amendment, these assertions are pure fiction and nothing more than politically motivated fake news.
