“However, in states with both SYG laws and the weakest gun controls... we found ...an increase in justifiable homicides.”
Great news! It works!

This is really the truth. So now instead of murders by burglars, rapist we have JUSTIFIED killing. Killing a bad guy keeps him from killing how many others, how many burglaries are prevented?
It is a shame that Martin had to die, but, it was justified. As far as I’m concerned bad guys don’t deserve to be in society. If Martin was just a burglar then he shouldn’t have had to die, but he was not just a burglar, he was a violent criminal out to kill Zimmerman and steal his gun. It was the gun he wanted. It started out just giving some pain to whitey but when he discovered the gun it was time for Travon to kill. Fortunately it was Travon Martin that got killed instead of the good law abiding citizen Zimmerman.
I am so tired of people saying Zimmerman disobeyed a police order to stop following Martin. That is not what happened, a police radio dispatcher, not a cop, more like a receptionist told Zimmerman that he didn’t have to keep following. Nobody told him not to. As it turns out Zimmerman probably protected his community from Martins life of crime.
Stand your ground laws simply protect you when you stand up to a criminal. There should be a reward given to a person who kills a criminal in the commission of a crime.
