Mike Papantonio, the president of The National Trial Lawyers, talked about the recent killing of a young black man in Florida on MSNBC’s The Ed Show on Wednesday, March 21, 2012.  Papantonio criticized the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) involvement in passing the “Stand Your Ground” law passed in Florida.  The “Stand Your Ground” law is getting attention after the recent fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.  Police say George Zimmerman shot Martin February 26 while acting as a neighborhood watchman.  Zimmerman, who has not been arrested, says he shot Martin in self-defense.  The Justice Department is investigating the shooting.
