NRA Lobbies To Expand Florida’s ‘SYG’ Law, As Shooter Stands Trial For Killing Jordan Davis

[Swede Atlanta]

2. No, NRA you are going in the wrong direction with this one....

Rather than extend the protection to excuse someone who "does something dumb", you should in fact require the person who feels threatened to remove themselves from the scene if they can do so safely - mandate retreat.

These SYG laws only increase violence. NRA suggests that by having no duty to retreat this deters crime and reduces violence. I suggest it does as in the Zimmerman and Dunn cases, emboldens men with tiny dicks to swagger out and attack others using SYG as a defense.

Why would we in a society not want to have someone remove themselves from the scene and call the police if they can do so safely and if, and only if, they reasonably feel threatened with serious bodily harm or death and cannot retreat is deadly force allowed.
