Stand Your Ground Laws Violate the 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution

Unilateral Decisions Over Life & Death Does Not Constitute "Due Process

There are 20 or more states that have enacted some version of the notorious "stand your ground" laws. In each case, these statutes allow for the use of deadly force when someone feels that their life and in some instances, their property is threatened. When the individual makes that determination, these statutes allow them to take the life of another human being and avoid prosecution for murder. Each and all of these various statutes violate the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
