- Gun Owners for America circulates a petition riddled with factual errors trying to save the “Stand Your Ground” law that will play such a significant roll in the George Zimmerman trial.
- Meanwhile, a gun group in Tennessee calls for a leading Republican who did not push through their guns-in-parking-lots bill to be “politically crucified.”
- A Mississippi court declared the state’s cap on non-economic damages in lawsuits unconstitutional.
- Barry Friedman and Dahlia Lithwick explain what the legal scholarship actually has to say about the Supreme Court and public opinion.
