I have figured out why the anti-gun people are so rabid about it.

Everyday we hear all kind of stories about those individuals who have gone through intensive training on how to evaluate a situation, establish alternative methods of dealing with the events, and then performing the proper response to these conditions.

We also hear how these same individuals randomly shoot and kill people, shoot and kill bystanders, shoot and kill extremely old people (100+ the other day), shoot and kill people who were minding their own business, shoot and kill people in the wrong house, shoot and kill pets, etc., etc., etc.

So the anti-gun idiots believe if the fully trained and rational police are going to do all this shooting and killing, what is going to happen when an ordinary Joe gets a gun? Obviously he/she will start shooting and killing all the time.

And that is another reason for being against the Stand Your Ground laws. It just gives a license to the ordinary Joe to start shooting and killing.

Of course it does not matter that the only stories we hear about the ordinary Joe are where they are defending their property from thugs breaking and entering or car-jacking.

.
Frankly, we hear very little of that any more.

What we almost universally hear now, is accounts of poorly, or improperly trained officers firing their weapons without even the smallest of reasons.
