re: #54 Daniel Ballard

Why not enshrine our right to defend ourselves legally?

Why claim that’s what I said?

In important ways we already have. Let’s not toss all that out over Zimmerman.

Please, for the love of god, stop saying that I”m saying we should toss all that out.

And that is a part of the operating principle I tried to illustrate to you above. Give the innocent the tools to prevail from a criminal attack.

I’m fine with that. They should flee if they can, which is the best defense, and if they can’t, they can use whatever means necessary in self-defense, in accordance with the force used against them.

What exactly is the problem with that?
