Fairfax, VA - Stand Your Ground laws have been signed by governors in 20 states, including eight democratic governors, two of whom – Kathleen Sebelius (D-KA) and Janet Napolitano (D-AZ) – were appointed to cabinet positions by President Obama. If Sen. Durbin is truly interested in making Americans safer, he should compel Attorney General Eric Holder to testify over what Mayor Rahm Emmanuel called the federal government’s “horrible” effort of prosecuting criminals with firearms in Chicago – America’s murder capital in Durbin’s home state.
