Florida’s laws allow open carry, permitless carry and “stand your ground” are a potentially deadly combination. A historian points to a 31.6% increase in firearm homicides after the ‘stand your ground’ law passed in 2005. https://theconversation.com/floridas-new-open-carry-law-combines-with-stand-your-ground-to-create-new-freedoms-and-new-dangers-267496

@TheConversationUS #Florida has long been ‘where people go to die’, but it used to be just from old age.

With help from the #Russia -funded #NRA It’s diversifying its ‘death industry’. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals

#Putin and his #Kremlin comrades don’t miss a trick when it comes to taking revenge on the #UnitedStates for winning the #ColdWar that disintegrated the #SovietUnion.

#Resist #TrumpRussiaCollusion to #SaveAmerica.

@TheConversationUS
I still think George Zimmerman using "Stand your ground" to defend his murder of Trayvon Martin was a massive travesty of justice... Made even worse when Kyle Rittenhouse used it to defend his shooting of three people.
