This is my first diary here for my fellow New Yorkers. It's short but very important. New York State Senator George Maziarz, of the 62nd District up by Buffalo wants to re-introduce a SYG legislation. He tried before in 2008.
Maziarz has been a long time supporter of gun rights and believes people should be able to shoot to protect themselves if they are being threatened. With respect to the SYG law and the tragic Trayvon Martin killing, Maziarz says
"I think that there are people now that want to take political advantage of it, some of my opponents. I believe very strongly that people should have a right to defend themselves when they legitimately, legitimately feel threatened.”
