Republicans in Florida appeared to make a major concession to protestors last week when House Speaker Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel) ordered hearings on the state's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law.
But less thrilling to the law's critics was Weatherford's pick to chair the meetings: staunch "Stand Your Ground" fan Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach).
"I don't support changing one damn comma of the 'Stand Your Ground' law," Gaetz told the Tampa Bay Times Friday. "It would be reactionary and dangerous to make Floridians less safe to pacify uninformed protesters."

I would agree with that up until about 10 years ago..... at least that's when I started noticing the changes for the worse. Most that are older than I would most likely say long before then..... today the constitution means nothing to the mob running DC and voting has been taken over by the mob and their minions....

I don't disagree. The laws are still there. They just need to be enforced. The constitution specifically addreses how to deal with tyrants....
