I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Voltaire said: "To the wicked everything serves as pretext". If you have a woke DA they will get you regardless of the law. If you have to defend, you loose.

The final defense is Jury Nullification. Sadly.

The truly troublesome thing is that he feels that he can propose such a thung and not fear any repercussions. This is a failure of the Republican Party.

These people are so removed from reality it’s not even a joke anymore. None of this helps the average person, just weakens them, which seem to be the agenda these days.

Why don't we talk about this for a moment. We know from referencing imperical data that gun control does not reduce crime. It has the opposite effect. The folks who are pushing gun control are not uneducated. So what is the real agenda here? I have not figured out this out. It's like saying xxxx people die from car accidents so we need to remove seatbelts and airbags...

But I agree Edward, the hypocrisy and contradiction with these politicians are nothing more than astounding.

Us gun owners and culture lovers have a very lax response to our rights being attacked. It’s been that way for years. Now people are starting to wake up to the lefts mobilization against the 2A. They literally are taking advantage of our laziness. But the answer like Lee and others have stated, is to fight fire with fire. We must stay stead fast and vocalize the fight. We must use energy like they are, or else we will falter.

Thanks for your coverage of this, Lee. I sure hope I don’t ever find myself in a defensive position where I have to think about running away, with my back to a guy with a gun...not only to save my life, but to allow the bad guy to keep, while maybe enjoying having the run of my home.

Then Castle Doctrine would be next. Sorry, I'm not pushing my wife out of a tiny bathroom window.

Besides, my wife has asthma. Her "duty to retreat" would be about 2 feet under that kind of stress.

Which reminds me - I suggest letting your doctor know about ALL physical problems, even if you don't need meds for them. If it came down to it, you'll have a list on record that you can't perform the gymnastics required by any anti-gunners.

Bad idea. Demonstrates premeditation. Like have a "Nothing in here is worth your life" sign on the front lawn.

I disagree. You could say target practice demonstrates premeditation.

To the wicked etc etc.

If you get a prosecutor that wants to make a name EVERYTHING demonstrates premeditation. You posting on this topic, for example.

The left has gone in my mind from clueless to evil bastards. Not sure how they feel this will play out well for them in the long run?
