The Administration wants to push gun control. "Stand Your Ground" law was made a prominent issue in the Zimmerman case until his lawyers declined to pursue that defense. So they will use whatever gets people upset, regardless of how misinformed they may be, to get voters motivatedand active.
Traditional allies of the Administration will help just because they will cash in that favor at some later date. You'll see teacher's unions and all kinds of groups who can't even tell you what the distinction in law is come out against SYG.
The other part to be aware of is that any self-defense shooting that can be politicized to push gun control is now fair game for federal pressure and media circus.
