Amid Democrat attempts to use the Trayvon Martin shooting as a means to push for the repeal of Stand Your Ground laws, it’s been interesting to note how many Democrats have a past that includes support for them.
For example, on April 2nd, I had a post on Big Government that highlighted how former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, used her Current TV show to lambaste Stand Your Ground laws, and to blame Republicans for the existence of such laws in the first place.

While I say this is all good, there is also a sense in the black community that they are losing alot of population and democrat voters.
Do these politicians really care if a citizen kills another thug? No it is the leverage to curtail the second amendment.
I see what you mean.
The Obama administration supports stand your ground!
