Senator John McCain: 'Stand your ground' laws should be re-examined'

Posted: 07/21/2013 | Last Updated: 23 hours and 50 minutes ago | By: CNN Wire

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?

My guess? Self defense against individual threats is a reinforcing stepping stone to the traditional Founder's interpretation of the 2nd Amendment; self defense against government run amok.

Can't have that, now can we?

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.)

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.

You're seriously overdue to call it a day, John.  If you hadn't had Sarah on that ticket with you, you would have found out just what the Conservative base thinks of your RINO bullshit.  Hell, enough of them couldn't take it to cost you the election as it was, but I'm talking true embarrassment without her, not just a close-but-no-cigar.  And you still don't get it.

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.

IMO he is no better than the Halfrican-American in the WH.
