"... deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted"

Is there a problem here?

House to vote on Trayvon amendment

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.

"'Shoot-first' laws have already cost too many lives. In Florida alone, deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted. 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."

Florida's law, which allows residents to use force in response to an attack without first having to retreat, has come under scrutiny after the nationally-polarizing death of teenager Trayvon Martin. George Zimmermann, a neighborhood watch volunteer, has been charged with murder in the case.

Those Dems are just playing to their constituents. Their voters will love them for this.

I thought Blackmail was illegal, oh yea I forgot, only for all the rest of us, not for the Government.

Holy f'ing.... Congratulations, Grijalva: You crammed three stupid statements into the same sentence.

KEith Ellison is your Islamic representative! Enjoy.

All this OC and firearm stuff may be a moot point when the Democratic Senate (House has no vote) UN treaties are signed later this year. Our Constitutional laws will be superseded by world law, even in our own country. Obama has stated that we need to conform to the world, and he will sign them. Once signed, there is no recourse. Whether you like him or not, agree with him much or not, you might need to take a look at what Dick Morris has to say. If he is only 1/10 accurate, we are in for another change.

Remember that every death has a 50% probability of being a lost Demosucker vote.

It's very hard to get a treaty through the process.The president needs 2/3 of the Senate to approve it, not likely to happen ever with this one much less in an election year
