Sen. John McCain says President Barack Obama's speech about race relations was "very impressive" and agreed that "stand your ground" laws should be re-examined, including those in his own state of Arizona.
"The 'stand your ground' law may be something that may needs to be reviewed by the Florida legislature or any other legislature that has passed such legislation," McCain said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Arizona is one of 30 states that have such laws, which give individuals certain legal rights in cases of self-defense. The law in Florida has come under scrutiny recently during the trial of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin last year during a confrontation.
Asked if he thinks Arizona should review the law, McCain said: "Yes, I do."
"And I'm confident that the members of the Arizona legislature will, because it is very controversial legislation," he told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley.

Re-examined? Were these laws passed in the dark, like that health care law?
Juan, what is the problem with self-defense?
Since "stand your ground" had nothing to do with the Zimmerman case....................... :???:
The more I hear from him, the more I'm convinced this is his last term in the Senate.
No way he'd get another term from the voters in AZ. Remember, they have NO CCW restrictions there (one of only 4 states where CCW allowed without a permit.)
Juan needs to be re-examined.
With a cactus up his.........
.
I think it has long past the time when McCain should have ridden off in to the sunset, never to be heard from again. Adios Amigo.
In my movie it will be with Harry Reid, call it Broke Hack Skelators.

I keep praying that some of his shinnannigans catch up to Harry Reid, and the "Honorable" Senator from Nevada is forced to leave the seat under an "other than honorable" discharge. Perp walking and blue-helmeted UN thugs with extradition papers to The Hague optional.
Why the f*ck should someone who's trying to do me harm have more rights than I have? I seriously don't understand that line of thinking.

McCain's mind is gone and he has one foot in the ground.
Re-examined? Were these laws passed in the dark, like that health care law?It should be afforded only to minorities and womyn.
Juan, what is the problem with self-defense?
I tend to agree.
Juan McLame has done his damage. His work is done. <insert Photoshop of complete desecration with Juan in his shirt sleeves mopping his brow>
On the other hand, as long as he's got Candy Crowley and the Communist News Network, he's probably in like Flynn.
That woman must have the least fitting name...ever. I often wondered why she ever got a job on televised news. She has a face for radio. How do they not see that just looking at her drives viewers away ?
They love her politics and her biases. Ergo, she gets maximum moonface time.
Maybe she just gives some mean blow jobs?

She has a face for newsprint...Her voice is much better in print too...
I've been saying for awhile this guy is a liberal plant. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
