re: #817 jcm

You wind up with arguments about compelling state interest vs rational interest. The state has a compelling interest to protect the POTUS. It only has a rational interest to protect me. It makes all the difference in equal protection stuff. But I do get really pissed off at these guys who live in these protected compounds telling me I shouldn’t be able to defend me and mine in my own house. They finally changed the law in MA so that I don’t have to retreat from my own house before I can shoot somebody. Previously I had to. You still have to try and disengage outside your house, but at least one thing has improved.
