DemocracyNow.org - The Republican National Convention took place in Florida, where the state's so-called "Stand Your Ground" law has come under sharp criticism following the shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin by self-appointed neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, earlier this year. The shooting incident has emboldened some supporters of Stand Your Ground. On the convention floor, Amy Goodman spoke with one of the law's most vocal advocates, Bill Bunting, a Florida delegate and the Second Amendment Chairman for the Republican Party of Florida.
