Florida Gov. Rick Scott is expected to sign a bill making it tougher to prosecute people who claim they commit violence in self-defense, creating an opportunity for wrongdoers to unfairly take advantage of “stand your ground” defense laws. The bill would set a high hurdle for prosecutors, making them prove a negative that the assailant wasn’t standing his ground. In the tumble-down effect that Republican-controlled states have on each other, there’s little doubt that similar legislation will surface in Missouri. |

Editorial commentary from St. Louis, Florida? No? Then why doesn't the St Louis Today editorial staff find something of local interest to write about? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
