The measure before Scott would effectively require a trial-before-a-trial whenever someone invokes self-defense, making prosecutors prove the suspect doesn’t deserve immunity.
Scott hasn’t revealed his intentions, but he’s a National Rifle Association supporter, and this is an NRA priority.
“If it passes in Florida, then they take that same legislation and they push it on the legislative floors across the country,” said McBath, whose 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was killed by Michael Dunn outside a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012. |

| Before the liberals changed the SYG law, the prosicuters had to prove it was NOT self-defence...the new proposal is just going back to REAL jurisprodence! |

| Before the liberal state courts, including the SCOF, changed the law (which, BTW, they are not constitutionally empowered to do), that's the way the law read. They rewrote the law from the bench, which is why the Florida legislature is taking this action. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
