.The gun rights group urged supporters to contact senators on the stand your ground bill, calling it vital self- defense legislation. A lobbyist worked the halls in gun- friendly Juneau, telling at least one senator that the highly- publicized slaying of the unarmed black teen in Sanford, Florida, is irrelevant to the debate in Alaska, according to Senator Hollis French, an Anchorage Democrat.
.As the 4-million-member NRA continued its push in Alaska, it faced mounting challenges in other states. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick pledged yesterday to veto a similar bill if it made it to his desk. Legislation in New York and Iowa stalled in committees as lawmakers in Georgia, Texas and other states said they would try to repeal laws already on the books. A Florida-like measure in Minnesota was vetoed by Governor Mark Dayton on March 5, before the Martin case was widely covered in the national media.
.You have to ask why they are doubling down in the face of this case, said French, a former prosecutor and chairman of the judiciary committee, which approved the Alaska bill last week. You are tipping the balance in favor of more shootings. There is no other way to put it.
