At a time when the overall U.S. homicide rate is declining, more civilians are killing each other and claiming self-defense—a trend that is most pronounced in states with new "stand your ground" laws.

These laws, which grant people more leeway to attack and even kill someone who is threatening them, are attracting close scrutiny following February's controversial killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida by a neighborhood watchman. Florida has one of the broadest self-defense laws of the 25 states with some version of a "stand your ground" principle.

So-called justifiable homicides nearly doubled from 2000 to 2010, the most ...

That is a good thing.

That is a good thing.

"It's an obscene law and a license to kill," said Barbara Standard, whose 46-year-old son, Scott Sumner Standard, was shot to death in January 2011 outside his house in Ozello, Fla. The neighbor who killed him claimed self-defense, saying Standard had thrown a rock at his truck's windshield.

It is not an obscene law, and you have a right to defend yourself with or without that law. You can kill someone by throwing a rock through a windshield. I didn't read your story, but was he driving?

Here is a quote from your link. This quote shows it is not a serious article. As the law certainly does not give you the right to kill Uncle Joe because you don't like his barbeque. That is preposterous.

"It has nothing to do with self-defense. It's just expanding the use of self-defense to justify shooting Uncle Joe in the backyard because you don't like his barbecue," Hayhoe said.

That is a good thing.

I'm glad to see you have come to your senses and are now supporting this fine law.
