I'm from MA, I have a liscense to conceal carry high capacity firearms, do carry, and also knew the moment people tried to say that stand your ground is why this guy "could shoot" the other guy it was bullshit.
Those who keep trying to say that this happened because of stand your ground are using this tragedy to forward their own, anti-gun, political agenda in a despicable manner.
Those who keep trying to portray zimmerman as a white guy to forward their own power based on racial division are also being dishonest and dispicable.
Like you I saw this story as a tragedy with lost life and as a political football rife with dishonesty in the name of forwarding peoples specific agendas.
Don't forget this week we have obamacare in the supreme court, this is an awfully nice distraction from that court case isn't it
