Who cares about the white people over in Eastern Europe? The Women and Children being killed needlessly it’s not important if they are not the right skin color.

This article again brings up this idea that it is morally and ethically incorrect to bring a “gun to a fistfight”. Can we use that same logic when it comes to Timberview School Shooter Timothy Simpkins? What about the

Progressives claim to have a monopoly of compassion for minorities and the weakest among us. Many progressive policies go against this very idea. However I would like to ask if an individual is defacing or destroying your property and they also have a “dangerous instrument” in their hand how can the weakest and disadvantaged amongst us not fear physical harm?

We all need to attempt to agree that there is a lot of gray area when it comes to self defense. However the root cause of this issue is not the firearm. The root issue is the individual on your property with a “dangerous instrument”. There needs to be harsher consequences violent and repeat offenders. If you want to fallow the science this article even quotes researches who “say it is not clear that repealing such laws would reverse increases in homicide”.

A man who fatally shot someone in the back. A man who met punches with gunfire. And a man who stabbed his unarmed neighbor with a sword. All of them, Kansas courts ruled, were allowed to fight back against an attacker, even if they might have safely backed away.

George Zimmerman’s lawyers did not cite Florida’s stand-your-ground law, opting to mount a more general self-defense case that Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin out of fear for his life. But the jury that acquitted Zimmerman got instructions about the law, and Martin’s killing brought intense scrutiny to a policy that critics accuse of encouraging vigilantism and violence. A growing body of research links stand-your-ground laws to sudden increases in homicide, including unlawful killings.

“Again and again, we are seeing these stand-your-ground laws being used as an excuse to kill Black

people and particularly Black children,” said Maurice Evans, a Wichita pastor and spokesman for

Lofton’s biological father. “We have to reevaluate these laws and how they’re being applied.”

Stand-your-ground laws have now spread to most states in the United States, propelled by gun groups such as the National Rifle Association and lawmakers of both parties who say people under attack should not have to worry about a legal “duty to retreat.” For some, the policy is also a response to public anxieties during a pandemic marked by rising violent crime, anti-Asian attacks and civil unrest.

Anderman says a new crop of state-level bills is especially worrying. One would allow defendants to sue prosecutors if they successfully prove self-defense. Another would allow someone to shoot a person defacing their property if they have a “dangerous instrument,” regardless of whether they fear physical harm.

Researchers say it is not clear that repealing such laws would reverse increases in homicide, even if it were politically feasible.

“This an issue about civilians being able to defend themselves — not being required to cower away from violence when it is brought to them,” LoPresti said, adding later: “I think pandemic politics has shifted the need, or at least the feeling that people need to feel more secure.”

Hawaii Rep. John Mizuno (D) said recent anti-Asian attacks are one of many factors pushing people toward a stand-your-ground law.
