Stand Your Ground Laws is about making money for Gun Manufacturers!
These Laws are being passed with one sole purpose and that is to make money for gun Manufacturers.
They are basically nonsencical laws that put lives at risk.
The sole purpose of these laws is to make money for companies that feed off of fear and hate!
Gun buyers swamped retailers nationwide last year, prompting a record 16.4 million instant criminal background checks of potential owners, up 14.2 percent from 2010, according to FBI figures. While some buyers may not have followed through with gun purchases or may have been denied, others bought more than one, so background checks are considered a good proxy for sales in the industry.

Relaxed gun laws are likely a factor behind the boom in sales, although not the only reason and perhaps not the primary one, industry experts say
The NRA heavily lobbied the Florida legislature for the bill. Their chief Florida lobbyist, Marion Hammer, called the measure the group’s top priority for the year.

= new reply since forum marked as read
they are "people" you know 
...if I chase down a corporation in a public street, attack it, and then kill the corporation with a gun, that it's Stand-Your-Ground and I get a presumption of self-defense for criminal/civil liability purposes?
exalted people
...and have him test that theory on BP. 
"I reasonably believed BP was going to cause be serious bodily harm or death." 
As a very long-time poster in the Guns forum, a former moderator (something that struck me as somewhat odd, that you would mod a forum where you were so actively engaged on one "side"
and current host of the group, you have to be as aware as I am that using the word "irrational", let alone "irrational hatred", to refer to advocates of gun control measures was expressly prohibited in the past.
You claim that legislators - Democrats - who supported this particular measure (the "assault weapons ban" that outlawed firearms with certain combinations of characteristics -- a pistol grip alone not meeting the test) are irrational.
You know absolutely that there are arguments for that measure that do not begin to meet the standard for "irrational", let alone for your initial claim of "irrational hatred" of objects.
Under the former DU2 arrangements, discourses like yours were confined to the Guns forum, where at least minimal standards like I've described were enforced.
Now that we're all over GD with this stuff, it seems there are no standards at all.
what weight I put on the deleting/hiding of posts, and what I think of both the moderation process and the jury process. Somebody else might think you have a case to make, but it holds no water for me.
There's always been a whole lot more than a perception of bias going on.
Not that it's always bias. Sometimes it's just utter failure.
NICS checks went up. Remember the paranoia? ARs going for $1,500 a copy, ammo hard to find, etc?
Obama's comin' fer yer guns!!! 
where he was a gun dealer. In his narration, he said something like, "Last year (X number) of guns were sold in the world. That's one for every 12 person on the planet. My question is, 'How can we sell to the other 11?'" Should I use quotes for a paraphrase?
Yeah in capitalism it's ALL connected and it's ALL about money.
Household firearms ownership rates in the US have declined steadily for about 35 years. Hunting and sports shooting (with long guns) have become much less popular and significantly fewer people are involved in them, thus in buying guns for them. High crime rates 35 years ago coincided with the industry's need for new products/markets. Voilà: handguns for the masses. Fifty years ago, handguns were much rarer among the general public.
But it isn't just corporations. It's the broader right wing.
Occuping society's public spaces is very important to the right wing. Vulnerable groups and individuals have to be kept in that state, and especially must not get uppity and start making demands.
The whole free-speech thing starting a few years ago was one front in the war. Horowitz and that ilk. Retaking campuses from the liberals; battling the PC army and making them safe for bigoted speech of all varieties. Free speech as a weapon against the enemy.
Guns serve the same purpose. In fact, the guns on campus crusade mimics its "free speech" on campus predecessor. Funded by the right wing, used by the right wing as an organizing tool, carried out by intimidation tactics. Ditto for "concealed carry" (let alone "open carry" . Let them all know that the right wing is there, everywhere, and armed to the teeth. The guns are heavily symbolic of the power they wield over anybody they don't like.
The NRA, of course, is a fully integrated wing of the right wing. It's the symbolic infantry.
