"Many prosecutors oppose the laws, saying they are unnecessary at best and pernicious at worst. 'They’re basically giving citizens more rights to use deadly force than we give police officers, and with less review,' said Paul A. Logli, president of the National District Attorneys Association." from above NYT article.

This is a timely article from Detroit-- Florida killing will test limits of self-defense | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
If I understand you correctly, you are against people defending themselves. You want the killer punished even if it was self-defense. What is not to like about the law. It is good for the good guy and bad for thebad guy. What if it were you?


All the SYG law does is to prevent prosecution if it is believed to be self-defense and to protect the defender from civil suit if it was a lawful killing.
