The original article's link to the resolution is broken, so here's a working one:

And a summary. The resolution is short- only four pages long- and resolves to accomplish five things:
1) Admonish officials who did not pursue an investigation.
2) Admonish parties who proposed Stand Your Ground in Florida.
3) Encourages future cases not to lean too heavily on SYG in place of a proper investigation.
4) Encourages rejecting of future SYG proposals.
5) Encourages repeal of existing SYG law.
It also seeks to "honor" Martin and his death. This is among the least harmless "controversial" things I've seen proposed in a while (it's just liberals arguing that SYG law goes too far in protecting gun ownership; nothing out of the ordinary), but leave it to SMuffin to make it into this huge deal.
Oh, and I wonder why he added "black lawmakers" into the heading? What a loser.
