"Stand Your Ground" allows people to shoot and kill someone even when there's a clear and safe way to walk away from the situation. HB 227 would take Utah's "Stand Your Ground" law even further and give an accused shooter the opportunity to avoid a trial.
HB 216 would allow 18–21 year olds to carry guns on campus, lowering the age on a policy that's already dangerous for students and a liability for universities.
Send a message to Governor Cox telling him to VETO HB 227 and HB 216 >>
Dear Governor,
As your constituent, I urge you to veto HB 227 and HB 216.
"Stand Your Ground" is a racist policy associated with increased homicide rates and encourages armed vigilantism. It allows people to shoot and kill someone even when there's a clear and safe way to walk away from the situation. HB 227 would take Utah's "Stand Your Ground" law even further and give an accused shooter the opportunity to avoid a trial.
HB 216 is a bill that would allow 18–21 year olds to carry guns on campus with a provisional permit, lowering the age on a policy that's already dangerous for students and creates liability for universities.
I urge you to act in the interest of public safety by opposing these extreme gun bills. Please veto HB 227 and HB 216.
