Ok, here you are: in 1987 in Florida was passed a law allowing citizens to carry weapons and number of murders decreased by 36%. And in general, the states that allows carry weapons have lower level of crime than in the states which not allows to carry the guns.

So the Russian law moved a little bit further and came up with other reasons

right, this is a nice word play from NRA. Murders maybe decreased but not homicides
Let's see the changes from 2005, shall we?

That is exactly I'm talking about. This law (stand your ground) is a rubbish. Everybody should be punished for murdering.

Homicide is a killing
Murder is an unlawful killing

The high level of aggression makes talented soldiers and poor civilians. What do you think of that?

You forgot the schools
