Rid Florida and other States of the Stand Your Ground Law

Created by D.B. on February 16, 2014

We have lost too many youth to the Stand Your Ground Law. The loss of Travyon Martin, Jordan Davis and other children is too great to allow these laws to continue. It's a license to kill our children. I ask the Obama Administration to review and remove these laws from Florida and any other States where they exist. Our children are too important to our future to allow them to be gunned down for something as simple as playing music loudly or going to the store. Who knows what these young men could have been to this world if they were allowed to grow and thrive. This law encourages people to not think about the consequences of their action and allows them to get away with taking a very important life. I think it's time we do away with this archaic way of thinking and use intelligence.
