House Democrats said Tuesday they will offer an amendment to push to overturn stand-your-ground self-defense laws in states like Florida.
The amendment, which would withhold some grants from states that have such laws, will come as part of the House's debate on the Commerce Department spending bill.

But this would make the perfect opportunity to get the states off the federal dole. Want to assert your independence, pass a SYG law and tell the fed to go f@#$ itself.

Good. No more government grants and a huge decrease in commensurate taxation. FL and states must demand such, as did our Founders.

problem is ... the Zimmerman case was pushed to after the election, a smart move by Florida.
the dems are disparate for a race war to accompany their class warfare rhetoric ... so they will do this and paint anyone against it as racist

NO REPEAT OFFENDERS, and, of course, the recipients were disproportionately "minority" for some reason?

Federal money shouldn’t be spent supporting states with laws that endanger their own people,” said Reps. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the two Democrats who are offering the legislation. “This is no different than withholding transportation funds from states that don’t enforce seat-belt laws.”

Thanks....didn’t know that.

No problemo. We just stop sending them money; we stop feeding the monster. I think that the Texas governor came very close to doing this over another issue. That was real brinksmanship.

10th amendment? Anyone? This will be a catastrophe for Democrats if it passes. Not for the Demo-Rats, but a "catstrophe" for ANY Republi-tard who DARED support this.
To: rarestia
This is posing! The Muslim Ellison and some clown from Kalifornia sponsored it!It will fail big, and I bet a lot of Demonrats vote against it, too.

Will these same bleeding hearts do the same for the couple that were murdered in Tennessee, or the couple recently beaten in Norfolk Va?

Now we see the motive for the Trayvon Martin hoax and the attempted lynching of George Zimmerman—repealing self defense laws and declaring open season on law abiding citizens of all races.

How about, I don’t know...working on a BUDGET! You bunch of asshats!

There are cities that should burn if Obama signs this.
