"All the prominent Republicans who knew they would be asked called Karl Rove and asked "What do we say about this? I mean, we look bad!" Old Karl said "I got a way you guys can wriggle out of being accountable for such an awful piece of legislation, and keep the NRA happy, besides."

So now they are all saying that the law is wonderful, but it doesn't apply in this case. Only problem is that it doesn't matter - if law enforcement officials believe they cannot pursue an investigation and a case every time someone says that they committed a crime in self-defense. it won't matter if the law applies or not.

Nice try, Jeb. It doesn't wash."
