on capitol hill today, the mother of trayvon martin called on lawmakers to work with state and localofficials to reevaluate the purpose of the controversial stand your ground law. stand your ground is the piece of legislation that took front and center -- when george zimmerman was put on trial for the death of trayvon martin. a committee hearing took a look at the way the law is practiced in 30 different states. the panel also heard from lucio mcbeth, the mother of another slain african-american teenager named jordan davis. the man who killed davis is currently trend use the stand your ground law in his defense. rt spoke with the davis family attorney john phillips and he talked in depth about how this law is being used and abused. >> stand your ground since 2005, when it was implemented, has taken the role of the jury to judge the facts and look at both sides and look at evidence and try to figure it out and saying we don't need to do that. let's just find legal gun owners in a legal place and look at them and what their situation is and let's examine their brains and try to determi

i think so i think that if they if they did i think that if you know trayvon martin lawyers would have you know taken different approach that it might have got a different verdict i do believe i do believe it is your you had a tough upbringing right crazy but did that upbringing inspire robin-hood. i want to think i want to say that everything that i've ever been through any controversy or turmoil or any hurdles that you know of dover you know have all kind of contributed to you know while become today how did you get the name game the name game was given to me by my grandmother she was you know rest or so and now she was a really really really sweet little texas lady and she used to call me again because i was when i was younger i was pretty much good at everything and that's to moan horn but i play basketball you know swim really good. play football soccer baseball videogames i was fast and so she used to just say you know apple is game for anything old texas saying and sort of stuck with me and you know when it came time for me to become a rapper i kind of put the t.h.d. on it as a

the case of trayvon martin like sandy hook massacre -- mr. chairman i requested hearings on this matter as member of the house judiciary committee that receive no response from the chairman. examining the "stand your ground" law's and whether they make our communities safer or less safe is critically important as part of a larger emanation of the impact of gun violence on america. sadly we lose a classroom full of kids every day to gun violence across this country and there have been no hearings in the house so senator durbin i applaud you for your leadership and for holding this hearing are the fundamental problem is americans are so afraid of other americans that they feel they must arm themselves. the gum lobby is pursuing to reshape our laws to make this practice more socially and legally acceptable. special interest are relaxing our laws resulting in an escalation of the deadliness of these confrontations. i've never believed allowing more guns will mean less gun violence. we must confront the deadly combination on easily available guns.
