'Stand Your Ground' Linked to Increase in Homicides

16. If you want to use your gun to protect yourself in your home, fine.

If you want to take your gun out on the street, only you know what your intention is.

Someone else who is carrying their gun may figure out that you have one and shoot your first and then claim he is standing his ground. That is what these numbers, this study suggest is happening in stand your ground states.

When you carry a gun, you add to the numbers of guns on the streets. The more guns on the street, the more likely there will be accidents and intentional gun use.

Same with cars. If the number of cars on the streets in your small hometown in George is relatively low, you will see fewer accidents than we do in LA where the population is high and we have many, many cars on the streets no matter the time of day or night.

The more guns you have, the more shootings you will have. The more cars you have, the more car crashes you will have.

So, keep guns off our city streets. Stand Your Ground law add guns to streets and increase gun use on the streets. That's bad for all of us.
