‘Stand your ground’: the US laws linked to rising deaths and racist violence
An analysis last year found “stand your ground” laws were linked to an 8% to 11% increase in homicide rates, or roughly 700 additional deaths each year. Florida’s “stand your ground” law has increased both justifiable and unlawful killings, with one study finding a 32% increase in firearm homicide rates; and another analysis showed that in 79% of cases, the assailant could have retreated to avoid confrontation. And research on “stand your ground” laws has found huge racial disparities, with white Americans much more likely to find success with self-defense claims, particularly when they kill Black people.
I think they work exactly as intended. They give “law abiding” gun owners cover to kill people.
30 fucking years ago. 30 fucking years and nothing has changed except the dead and injured count and the frequency with which it happens. Every “responsible” gun owner should be ashamed. 30 fucking years. Gift article.

^ Jesus. Would not this be the very definition of "grooming?" A Junior 15 rifle. Holy fucking shit.
Yep and when the kid looses a school yard game or neighborhood game he’ll just go home grab junior and show the other kids his little friend! This country is doomed

I have a question: there's no way there is all of a sudden this rash of "property murders" all over the country in the matter of a week or so. This has to have been happening already and the media is just picking up on it now?

Florida man shot at Instacart driver who went to wrong house, police say
Davie police initially investigated the incident but closed the case without filing charges, stating in their report that they could not determine whether a crime had been committed. “Each party appeared justified in their actions based on the circumstances they perceived,” the report said.

Goddammit! What this country needs is more guns! Or armed security for everyone doing yard work!
An Illinois man doing yard work outside his home was fatally shot in the head by his 79-year-old next-door neighbor this month after the two got into an argument over the man’s leaf blower, authorities said this week.
The shooting in Antioch, Ill., is among recent, high-profile incidents of people being shot while doing mundane, everyday actions, from ringing a doorbell to pulling into a driveway.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded on April 12 to a report of an unresponsive man on a driveway in Antioch, an unincorporated village near the Wisconsin border that’s about 60 miles outside of Chicago, authorities said in a news release. When they arrived after 7:30 p.m., deputies found the homeowner, William Martys, 59, with a gunshot wound to the head. Martys was pronounced dead at the hospital.

I've told the story in another thread somewhere but I have a tax client who is also my insurance agent. He dropped his 2022 info off near the end of March and had not made his last two quarterly estimated tax payments because he was certain that "god" was coming back and the world would be ending. It does beg the question as to why he would have even dropped off his info but we don't question anyone's faith here .
The craziest part is that he made the same claim last year. He stops paying his estimates because he can't stand Biden and then he ends up paying more penalty and interest because he didn't make the timely payments.

They feel emboldened to 'stand their ground' and feel no need to deescalate.
