Eric Holder Wants 'Stand Your Ground' Laws Reviewed

Castle laws, not SYG.

But yes, law enfarcement have definitely, willfully and intentionally, placed our rights between the job and "getting home at night". Having intentionally created this conflict, they must now eliminate those rights.

The primary purpose of no-knock raids is to slowly erode the 4th amendment to nothingness. That, and because the raids are (I quote) "better than sex".

This. Just like other rights erosion we have seen over the decades.

This administration is in love the Euro socialist model. Look to the UK and you will see what they are shooting for. The UK has laws that punish you for self defense in certain circumstances...I think they want that here.

Also, just like Sandy Hook and background checks, the Zimmerman case which has motivated this discussion has nothing to do with the law or retreat. Zimmerman was on his back being straddled by Martin and couldn't retreat.

More bait and switch from the "most transparent" administration ever.

They do love the Euro model but perhaps even more so, a stronger socialist model bordering on communism. As for punishing the people for defending themselves, that is a state issue and I don't see many of the states willing to go along with the feds if they pushed in that direction. The one thing the feds could do is tighten the purse strings, something we should never have allowed them to control in the first place. But I can't see how they could pass laws at the federal level which would restrict our rights in this area.

If there is a way for them to do something like this, other than amending the Constitution, I would love to hear it.
