Arkansas State Senator Stephanie Flowers gained national attention this week for an impassioned plea against a Stand Your Ground gun law proposal before the senate’s judiciary committee.
Flowers, a graduate of Philander Smith College and Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law according to the Arkansas Times, is no stranger to outspoken views on gun laws and gun violence.

Following Flowers’ speech, the bill proposal was defeated 4-3 in committee, but could be raised again next week.
