A top Republican joined President Barack Obama's call to review so-called "Stand Your Ground" laws in the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting of black teen Trayvon Martin.
Sen. John McCain, Ariz., a prominent Republican who's been known to break ranks with fellow members of the GOP at times, urged state legislatures to review Stand Your Ground laws in the wake of the Zimmerman trial, which became a national flashpoint for race relations in America.
"I can also see that Stand Your Ground laws may be something that needs to be reviewed by the Florida legislature or any other legislature that has passed such legislation," McCain said on CNN.
Asked whether his home state legislature should consider revising its own similar law, McCain said yes.
"I think that, yes, I do, and I'm confident that the members of the Arizona legislature will because it is a very controversial legislation," he said.....

I agree. He’s in full commie ‘RAT mode right now which indicates to me that he’s done.
Can you imagine this bozo in office when sandy hook or Aurora happened? He would have caused more damage than zer0. I don’t even hear Romney talking like this.
Is there some form of mental disease rampant in Arizona? How does this cretin keep being elected?
Every time he has a chance to differentiate himself from Obama, he votes to support Obama and votes for Communism. Makes one wonder what actually happened at the Hanoi Hilton.
The Communists, like Muslims, are very patient. They have to be because their ideology is not something that works in the short term...or, for that matter, in the long-term.
FU old man.
This laws were created because far too many people were froze. With fear in the face of an aggressor who ultimately maimed them or killed them.
They were petrified because the laws had been setup so that a victim was in fear of the law if they defended themselves.
Repealing SYG will only result in more deaths and a culture that is refrained and restrained because the law will come after them.
Hey, while yer at it why not repeal Good Samaritan. Laws and people like me will stand there watching someone die as I say “Uh Oh”. Right along with all the other erstwhile humans who would render aid but, fir it putting us in jeopardy due to a litigous society.
FU!!! I have a right to my life, wholly and completely and to feel confident I can be a human being and render aid as God compells me.
I asked my cousin, who lives in Phoenix, that very question. He said mclame isn't as bad as the a**holes running against him. I just can't feature that.
I suspect that there are a multitude of hypotheticals and real-life accounts that give weight to this argument, and I'd love to hear some.

McCain knows nothing about standing his ground. He is the doormat of the left.
Has McCain ever “reached across the aisle”....
to republicans?
Champagne for our real friends and real pain for our sham friends.
McInsane is a sham friend, here's wishing him real pain.
He’s in a Media-Whore Off with Geraldo. Pray he can be stopped before he tweets a selfie.
McCain the collaborator against stand your ground.
The Irony runs deep.
State legislatures say mind your own damned business, John.
John “New World Order Fascist” McCain speaks as a REAL LEADER of the republocrat party, guys the republican leadership are in bed with the democrat fascists, both hold the same beliefs.
he just gives reach arounds to bawney frank
McCain needs to review his party affiliation.
“John “New World Order Fascist” McCain speaks as a REAL LEADER of the republocrat party, guys the republican leadership are in bed with the democrat fascists, both hold the same beliefs.”
Doesn’t John have a war or “no fly zone” to promote somewhere?
Tomorrow we should hear “Linda” chime in on this.
McCain should just ESAD!
