almost verbatim. SYG is indeed bad legislation, and allows for vigilantism and stalking like your man Zimmerman displayed. SYG goes hand-in-hand with concealed carry for those Rambo wannabes who dream about saving damsels in distress. The statistics (which the NRA and its drones like so much) show that municipalities with SYG laws have a higher incidence of homicide. More guns equals more gun deaths and more gun violence.
The "Chicago" NRA talking point has nothing to do with their existing gun control laws, but with gang violence and easy access to guns. Where do you suppose those guns came from? Maybe a gun show? Or, a "private" sale with no background check? Or maybe stolen from a careless "legal" gun owner?
OTOH, castle laws for home protection are fine, and always have been. But guns in the home also need regulation to ensure both responsibility, and accountability.
Contrary to the NRA, the 2nd Amendment does NOT prohibit gun control -- in fact it demands it ("well regulated"
. The NRA is the only organization that prohibits gun control, and it does so by buying and bullying politicians at all levels of government. The NRA is our enemy, and not the law-abiding gun owners in America who will not be upset with sane gun control measures.
