3. Exactly, and the NRA used ALEC

to write complete packages of bogus "Protect the Second Amendment" legislative bills, ready made for introduction and signing. These boiler-plate pieces of legislation were given to City Councils, and State Legislatures in almost every state. ALEC was the developer and distributor of almost all Stand-Your-Ground, Concealed/Open-Carry, and No-Wait laws across the nation.

These laws set the stage for vigilantism by assholes like Zimmerman to take the law into their own hands and get away with it. Now we must work very hard to repeal these obscene anti-American, pro right-wing gun lobby laws and return to some sense of normalcy in our neighborhoods.

Vote for anti-NRA Democrats at all levels of government, and help to stop the gun madness in this country.
