Mayor Bloomberg is launching a campaign to overturn "stand your ground" laws around the nation, such as the one in Florida that led to the controversial shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Bloomberg has scheduled a press conference this afternoon in Washington with the Rev. Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the National Urban League and other groups to announce the initiative...

Bloomberg can kiss my bright red one on main street.
And then he can learn about federalism. And the 10th amendmnet. And the 2nd amendment.
Shove it, Bloomdork.
Bloomberg makes me sick. He is a dam coward and a sorry excuse for a human being.
Or vice versa.
Another liberal carpetbagger...
He’s going to start a pushback his mind can’t even begin to comprehend.
You see, "stand your ground" laws have NOTHING to do with the Zimmerman/Martin situation. "Stand your ground" laws stand for the proposition that you have a right to proactively defend yourself in a defined area, with no requirement to retreat. Almost always, one's home is such an area (hence the alternative term "Castle Doctrine"). Sometimes, Texas being one example, you can defend yourself in your car (a mobile castle, if you will) or wherever you have a legal right to be at a particular point in time. This case involved no such thing - Zimmerman shot Martin (and his claim is backed up by witnesses and the police report) AFTER MARTIN PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED HIM and was threatening his life by repeatedly banging the back of his head against the sidewalk - much longer, and Zimmerman would have been unconscious and soon thereafter dead. The legality of Zimmerman's actions from the moment he was attacked until he pulled the trigger are pretty much beyond question in ANY jurisdiction in this country - he COULDN'T retreat, he was under ACTIVE, LIFE-THREATENING ATTACK. This was about as pure of case of self-defense as we're likely to have in the public eye for some time.
Bloomberg, or anyone else, arguing that this is because of "stand your ground/Castle Doctrine" laws is being disingenuous AT BEST - and, in all likelihood, is stating a flat-out lie with the intent of diminishing the rights of potential victims for the purpose of scoring political points. FUMB!
Ah, wishing for the old days where Carpetbaggers like Blooming Idiot were trussed up, tarred and feathered, and sent back to whence they came.
He has a lot of enemies. This is good for self defense. Put Nannie Bloomie’s face on the anti-gun movement.
. SYG doesn’t even apply to the case. I know, everyone here knows this already. I’m just appalled at. Bloomers’ arrogance.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
who the F@@@ does this clown think he is.
This is FL , he can govern that hell hole liberal piece of crap of a state and leave us down here the hell alone.
If Bloomberg had to live in East New York, or Brownsville, without an NYPD security detail or his private bodyguards, then, maybe, I’d give some credence to his BS.
city not state
Anybody who doesn’t recognize this as an organized, planned assault is blind.
they brought eh Mexican Pres to the state of the union address and harp on about guns.
They then used Fast and furious but they were found out and now they are using this.
You can bet they will go after the 2nd if this socialist gets a second term
This initiative will of course be warmly supported in Texas and S. Carolina.
If the state legislators won’t go along with the repeal, and we can’t get it introduced as a ballot initiative, we’ll just cry havoc and let slip the lawyers of civil war.
Thank you, scott7278!
Oceander, per our dialogue on this thread thread. The left goes outrageous. Then they're suprised when people react to their outrageous stupidity.
Guess you haven't noticed.
That assault on the 2nd (as well as just about everything else) has been going on now for.....well, bloody forever.
This stuff from the libs is just this week's reconnisance in force. They won't quit any time soon.
Always playing the democrat in elephant pajamas, We here in Florida will stand our ground against our attackers.
So too bad for Mr. Bloomers.
