They're funded almost exclusively by big multinational corporations and the sort of rich folks who have large stakes in such corporations. It makes sense that they'd want "pro-business" legislation for things like tax cuts and making it harder to sue companies and easier to fire employees and whatnot. But how does Stand Your Ground help them?

If anything, they ought to be campaigning against SYG because that would fuel the perception that gun rights were under attack, which would incite angry white men to buy more guns and ammunition, helping gun manufacturers make more money.

Because many of the types who are part of ALEC are conservative ideologues.

You consider John Engler to be a "conservative ideologue"?
