Are you arguing that stand your ground should protect someone who leaves a dangerous situation coming back with a gun?

I'm glad that you're here to provide some real world experience to people who don't really understand how it works in reality.

If your life is hard, you will be uglier? Or did you mean the inverse "If you are not ugly, your life will not be harder"?

Exactly the problem with modern gun control proposals.

Also forgot, possessing a gun "while white" is also a recipe for getting shot in the US by police. You'll find that the NRA doesn't care about those cases either.

What happens if you go to a shooting rage a few times a year and volunteer at Planned Parenthood?

If you were intending to be a parody of a gun control zealot, unaware of the subject proposing to be regulated as well as what regulation already exist, you have done a wonderful job. AR-15 does not stand for assault rifle 15, and assault r
