Obama Supported "Stand Your Ground" as a Senator in 2004

-

President Obama supported the "Stand Your Ground" law as a Illinois Senator in 2004, which is now being brought up after he called on states to review the controversial law. Last Friday, Obama said that the law may need to be reviewed following the George Zimmerman trial.

"I know that there's been commentary about the fact that stand your ground laws in Florida were not used as defense of the case. On the other hand, if we're sending a message as society in our communities that someone who is armed has a right to use those firearms even if there's a way for them to exit from the situation, is that really going to be contributing to the kind of peace and security and order that we'd like to see?"

Obama also posed a question, asking if Trayvon Martin was carrying a gun and felt threatned by George Zimmerman, would it have been acceptable for him to shoot? 

"And if the answer to that question is at least ambiguous, then it seems to me that we might want to examine those kinds of laws," he said.

We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!” Reddit users were quick to spread the word, with pm_me-please posting “I just tweeted #DenzelIsJamesBond everybody do it now!” British actor Craig  has been playing 007 since 2006 when he starred in a darker remake of  Casino Royale . His version of the spy marked a departure from the more cheesy action romps that the franchise was previously known for. Along with the Bond question, Washington was al
