“Had I attended the FSA conference, I would have voted against the FSA statement on the Stand Your Ground law,” Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told the Sun Sentinel. “I support an individual’s right to use armed self-defense when faced with the immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury, and without requiring any duty to retreat in one’s own home. However, if there is a safe opportunity in other settings to retreat and de-escalate potentially deadly violence, it should be done. For this reason, I support legislative changes to more narrowly restrict the use of the Stand Your Ground defense.”

I have been warning for a long time that Broward County is not a friendly place for gun owners. If it was not for the state’s pre-emption laws, the county to the north (of me) would be the New York of the South with sprinkles of New Jersey.

It is not the first time the Broward Sheriff Office has gone out of their way to fight the Second Amendment. The video below shows former Sheriff (and now federal felon) Ken Jenne lying to millions of viewers on CNN about the differences between the Pre-ban AK 47 and the AWB-legal AK 47.

If you have any complaints, you can direct them to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz who represents most of Broward County and is the Chair of the Democratic National Committee…..I was kidding there. I know that at least one reader is seriously in love with her. 😛
