re: #54 Rightwingconspirator

A grenade (frag not flash) is laughably excessive.

Why? What makes it excessive, and a gun appropriate? Put it into concrete terms.

Anyone can say what they want. My response to a statement like that would be a restraining order not a gunshot. I don’t accept preemptive as self defense at all. What am I defending against? Harsh words? Guy says that and reaches for my throat for real and it’s a battle.

Okay. Just so you know, in the US and in most countries, credible threats justify self-defense. I support it too, because rational and reasonable people often respond to threats by fighting back. I can’t tell, again, if you’re just talking about your personal views and what you think should be public policy but since you said you don’t accept it at all, I’m assuming you’d like it criminalized?
