Rep. Jackson Lee introduces bill to cut funds to stand-your-ground states

Rep Sheila Jackson LeeFrom TheDailyCaller.com:

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee reintroduced the Justice Exists for Us All Act to Congress Wednesday.

The bill, which the Texas Democrat stated is a response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, would pressure states to drop stand-your-ground laws, which assert that citizens can use force for self-defense rather than being required to retreat from dangerous situations.

Under the Justice Exists proposal, states that didn’t amend their stand-your-ground laws and require a “duty to retreat” would face a 20 percent cut to previously allocated funds.

I wonder: how many laws were passed by the federal government when OJ Simpson was found not guilty in 1995?

Correct: none.
