FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 246-13 July 14, 2013 STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG “Sadly, all the facts in this tragic case will probably never be known. But one fact has long been crystal clear: ‘shoot first’ laws like those in Florida can inspire dangerous vigilantism and protect those who act recklessly with guns. Such laws – drafted by gun lobby extremists in Washington – encourage deadly confrontations by enabling people to shoot first and argue 'justifiable homicide' later.
