Stand Your Ground Was Written By The NRA, Pushed By ALEC & Is 4X More Likely To Protect A White Shooter Who Killed A Black Person

In 2005, the NRA's then-president Marion Hammer drafted a bill in Florida. She brought it to two Florida state legislators who were both members of ALEC — the American Legislative Exchange Council. Governor Jeb Bush signed it. And within a year, 13 more states had passed nearly identical laws. Today Stand Your Ground exists in some form in more than half of U.S. states. And the research is clear: in Stand Your Ground states, homicides involving white shooters and Black victims are ruled justifiable four times more often than when the roles are reversed. In Michigan — more than twelve times more often. Trayvon Martin. Ahmaud Arbery. Jordan Davis. Ralph Yarl. AJ Owens. These are not isolated cases. They are the documented pattern of a law designed and deployed to protect some people — and expose others. In this episode, XO, AZ, and CDA sit in the man cave and go through the full story.
