(http://malegislature.gov/Bills/187/Senate/S00661) Bill 661 allows Massachusetts to become a Stand Your Ground state that protects citizens like George Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin in Florida. Massachusetts Law Ch 278, 8A (http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleII/Chapter278/Section8A) already allows for broad protection within the home.

Research has shown that states that have adopted similar legislation have seen an increase in justifiable homicides. It is well-known that local and national guns-rights organizations are putting pressure on its members and lawmakers to consider and pass Stand Your Ground laws.
