Yes, actually it has. The more the right pushes it's no rules agenda, the more people think they can carry and shoot and kill in public as much as they do in defending their home.
"Stand your ground" bullshit, is simply saying shoot first, is ok even in public.
It is simply extending the mentality of defending your personal home to defending the community as if it were your personal home.
These assholes were not defending shit, they were gang members.
No, it hasn't. Vigilantism lead to the castle doctrine. The latter is a particular (and much narrower) expression of the former.
