Trayvon Martin’s mom Sybrina asks us to take action against dangerous gun laws this Mother’s Day. Sign her card to governors here: http://secondchangeonshootfirst/card.
“The senseless and tragic gunning down of Trayvon Martin has drawn national attention to Florida’s reckless “Stand Your Ground” law. This dangerous law not only encourages gun-toting vigilantism, it also allows people to use deadly force by simply asserting that they feel threatened.”
“MIAMI — Nearly three weeks after an unarmed teenager was killed in a small city north of Orlando, stirring an outcry, a few indisputable facts remain: the teenager, who was black, was carrying nothing but a bag of Skittles, some money and a can of iced tea when he was shot. The neighborhood crime watch volunteer who got out of his car and shot him is white and Hispanic. He has not been arrested and is claiming self-defense.”
