On the 1 year anniversary of the shooting death of Miami Gardens teenager, Trayvon Martin, we notify the Blogging Black Miami family that State Sen. Dwight Bullard has filed Senate Bill 622 and State Rep. Alan B. Williams has filed House Bill 4009 to repeal Florida's Stand Your Ground law. FL Governor Rick Scott and his Stand Your Ground Task Force have already concluded that no changes are needed in the law.

Let's be prepared to advocate, for SB 622 and HB 4009 during the upcoming Legislative Session. The Bills still protect 2nd Amendment Rights regarding the right to bear and keep arms. The position of the Stand Your Ground Task Force illustrates the uphill battle that passage of SB 622 and HB 4009 face.

Florida's 2013 Legislative Session starts March 5 and ends May 3. If you can write a letter or an email, make a phone call or send a fax, we need you to let your voice be heard. Stay tuned for more information on this issue. Thank you.
