Three men were recently convicted in Georgia for felony murder after killing Ahmaud Arbery, a man they believed was responsible for a string of robberies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"see-also-exclusive-everytown-spent-200k-on-losing-democrats-who-flipped-virginia-house-to-republicans\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/exclusive-everytown-spent-200k-on-losing-democrats-who-flipped-virginia-house-to-republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-hosts-hour-of-action-to-demand-repeal-of-georgias-racist-shoot-first-law\" title=\"Everytown Hosts 'Hour of Action' to Demand Repeal of Georgia\u2019s 'Racist, Shoot-First Law'\">Exclusive: Everytown Spent $200K on Losing Democrats Who Flipped Virginia House to Republicans<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The self-defense argument failed to convince the jurors, however, because the men were the aggressors, and they couldn\u2019t reasonably prove that their lives were in danger (among other reasons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recent \u201cstand your ground\u201d case in Georgia also failed to grant immunity to a defendant. Marc Wilson made a \u201cstand your ground\u201d defense after he shot and killed a woman who was riding in a car being driven by someone he claims was trying to kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe evidence shows that Marc Wilson was justified in his use of force. And he applied a level of force necessary that he thought was necessary to\u2026 defend himself,\u201d the defense argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge denied Wilson\u2019s request, and the case is headed to trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outcome of these cases suggests that Everytown severely mischaracterizes Georgia\u2019s \u201cstand your ground\u201d law. If this law truly granted gun owners the ability to \u201cshoot first,\u201d the defendants would have been exonerated in both cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgians can find and contact their state representatives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/find-my-legislator\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-hosts-hour-of-action-to-demand-repeal-of-georgias-racist-shoot-first-law\" title=\"Everytown Hosts 'Hour of Action' to Demand Repeal of Georgia\u2019s 'Racist, Shoot-First Law'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"track-link-url-https-www-gunsamerica-com-campaign-buysellga-target-blank-buy-and-sell-on-gunsamerica-all-local-sales-are-free-track-link\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anti-Second Amendment group Everytown for Gun Safety is hosting an \u201chour of action\u201d to demand the repeal of Georgia\u2019s \u201cstand your ground law,\u201d which the group characterizes as a \u201cshoot first law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":156631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,593,240],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-160736","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-jordan-michaels","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-gun-control","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Everytown Hosts &#039;Hour of Action&#039;
