Reply #119: The "gun lobby" haven't passed these laws, state legislatures have.

And you haven't demonstrated that democracy was subverted, you have asserted that it was subverted (apparently
because you disapprove of "stand your ground" laws).

No one is advocating shooting people if they can reasonably avoid it, and other posters have cited the actual text of
laws requiring the shooter have reasonable belief that they are at risk of death or serious injury before they can invoke said laws as a defense.

Of course, the persons who were (or will be) shot might help by not acting in such a way that a reasonable
person would be put in fear for their lives...

I would suggest that your feelings about this do not reflect the views of the majority in either Florida or
Alaska.
