I was checking some old file folders from at least 2 desktops ago and found this screen capture.
Every single Gun Control Group, almost every newspaper and media outlet was furiously bashing the law and Democrats were swearing on several dozen stack of bibles that Florida was about to become the Wild West. The fight against SYG continue for at least 5 more years till they figured out that Floridians liked the law and a case in Miami made it to the State Supreme Court and it confirmed as firm law of the land.
And that the law ended up favoring more minorities than Whites ended up being the stake through the heart of movement against Stand Your Ground.
And since I mentioned the race angle, IRRC that pamphlet indicated that visitors should not be loud or use hands in wild gestures for fear that armed Floridians may be startled by that and shoot them on sight….which was probably one the dumbest thing ever said in a community which is 65% Hispanic known to speak very loudly and gesturing so much with our hands, we make Italians look like mute quadriplegics.
The Brady Bunch retreated in defeat and tagged as insensitive racists. That was a good day if you ask me.
"And that the law ended up favoring more minorities than Whites ended up being the stake through the heart of movement against Stand Your Ground."
And provided another HARD data point for the "All gun laws are racist in both history and effect" argument.
A VERY good day, if you ask me.
But the money keeps flowing to the gun control zealots and the media continues to spread the propaganda.
When has the gun control predictions ever been right?
