Now that the shooter, George Zimmerman, has been charged with second-degree murder, his defense under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law will become the focus of discussion. This law is grounded in a factual error and a deeply flawed principle. The factual error is that a proliferation of handguns makes us safer. The flawed principle is that somehow the right to bear arms needs to be enlarged to a right to resolve disputes with guns.

Wrong on both counts.
- More handguns DOES make us safer. The statistics prove that beyond doubt.
- Nothing about the Martin case in any way suggests that Florida's law created a "right to resolve disputes with guns."
Idjits.
