The Congressional Progressive Caucus has announced it will introduce legislation designed to strip Americans of the right to defend themselves. Called "Stop Shoot First Laws," the amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill under consideration in the House would deny states federal funding allocated under section 505 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 if they continue to allow citizens to defend themselves.
"Shoot first laws have already cost too many lives," said Progressive Caucus co-chairs Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva <http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/05/08/democrats-try-to-reverse-stand-your-ground-in-appropriations-bill/>
upon introducing their amendment. "In Florida alone, deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted. Federal money shouldn't be spent supporting states with laws that endanger their own people. This is no different than withholding transportation funds from states that don't enforce seatbelt laws."
"The message here is if you have this kind of law that your federal funding is going to take a hit because they make states less safe," Adam Sarvana, communications director for Grijalva, told Politico <http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/76045.html>.
In other words, the Democrats will force states to choose between putting their citizens at the mercy of violent criminals or taking federal largess.
Because the House does not have an open amendment process, the amendment will likely not see a vote on the floor. Ellison and Grijalva introduced the amendment in and effort to further politicize the Trayvon Martin case and increase pressure on the Second Amendment.
Democrats are using "Shoot First" instead of "Stand Your Ground" in an effort to portray self defense as homicide.
"Stand Your Ground" is a legal extension of the Castle doctrine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine> stating that a person has a right to defend himself against an intruder. "Stand Your Ground" laws state that one can use deadly force in any location one is legally allowed to be and removes the requirement that the threat must occur on one's own property.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus is the largest caucus within the Democratic caucus in Congress. It is supported by the Institute for Policy Studies, MoveOn.org, the NAACP, National Council of La Raza, Hip Hop Caucus, and other liberal and so-called "progressive" organizations.
