Savannah City Council to introduce a new resolution to repeal what they describe as a dangerous law.
The resolution is in support of repealing Georgia’s "stand your ground" law. The law was made to give residents the ability to protect themselves and property through self-defense. But local officials say it encourages vigilantism and prevents just from being served justice.
“It’s a dangerous law because right now it allows somebody to shoot and kill somebody even though they can safely get away,” said Savannah Mayor Van Johnson. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
