According to the Huffington Post, it should be illegal for you to defend yourself because it denies “justice” to criminals who attack you. I am not making this up. (HT: AoSHQ ONT QOTD)
The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights.

Contrary to Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg, the Second Amendment doesn’t exist because the Founding Fathers were avid hunters and sportsmen. The Second Amendment codifies the right of the individual to defend himself from criminal individuals AND criminal Governments. Criminal individuals and criminal Governments have never been happy about that arrangements, hence the Democrat Party’s all-out assault on the Second Amendment.
He’s stoned and a really good hacker.
Bull. It’s been a basic understanding of Western justice for millennia that one who attempts to deprive others of rights have their own rights revoked. If one attempts to end another person’s life, the victim is fully within his or her rights to deprive the attacker of his or her life.
The Leftist cry of “But he’s disadvantaged!” is becoming intolerable.
Now we know why much of the commentating class has more in common with Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill.
Under common law and statute law, an innocent victim may use deadly force, if necessary, against an attacker. If a criminal assaults someone and the intended victim kills him in self-defense, then that criminal has received due process of justice.
There is a big difference between a resident shooting a home invasion robber in self-defense, or a cop shooting a bank robber in a gunfight, and a lynch mob hanging a helpless suspected criminal without a trial. Leftists are too stupid to see the distinction. So what else is new.
“Violence in self-defense, all societies, from the most primitive to the most civilized, have always accepted as legal and moral. Self-defense, even involving weapons and bloodshed, has never been condemned, not even by Gandhi.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Common-sense “Gun Control” is two rounds into the body-mass, and one to the head.
What liberals are making clear is that only the attacker has rights.
This is in line with Barack Obama’s belief that terrorists and illegals have rights that law-abiding American citizens don’t.
Democrats are setting everything up for a civil war they will lose.
Fair trial? The purpose of a trial is to determine the facts and weigh evidence – after the crime has been committed.
If someone is kicking in my door or trying to get into the car with me, unbidden, the facts aren’t in dispute.
Unlike Milo if a black guy is breaking into my window at 3am, I know he isn’t looking for sex.
This whole affair reminds me of similar leftist argument concerning warfare, namely that somehow we’re supposed to be the most squeaky clean and honorable people in the world against the most evil of foes. This ignores a basic concept of rules of engagement, namely that if someone isn’t willing to uphold their end of the rules, then the opposing side is under no obligation to hold up theirs. Justice, similarly, is a two-way street, an agreement between all parties that we should behave in a civilized manner. If someone breaks the covenant, then they sacrifice their rights to be treated in a civil manner.
You have to love the sheer stupidity of the criminal and violent borderline confrontational 2%er, regardless of their political affiliation. Thank God for the foresight our founding fathers had regarding the behavior of batmerdecrazy 2%ers.
Oh yes.
And in April of 2016, Pres. Obama wants the Federal Government, + its police, and any other [state, city, town, or etc.] police, to use the, [my words, unreasonable devices], known as SMART GUNS and/or SMART GUN TECHNOLOGY, to prevent some people from getting wounds or deaths- from stolen cop guns, + accidentally acquired cop guns.
And by his hints + suggested comments, he wants ALL GUNS/firearms in the USA, including guns owned by civilians, to be controlled by the same [smart gun] technology.
I do not think that making guns harder to- buy, find, or mechanically use, will significantly lower the amount of people- who are accidentally shot, and accidentally shot and killed, with police guns.
I do not think that smart gun devices in or on: police guns, civilian guns, or any other guns, will significantly lower the number of people- accidentally shot, criminally shot, or accidentally shot and killed, in The United States.
Please instead treat guns safely, by doing things like:
-Always know where your gun[s] are, + do not accidentally leave them anywhere, at any time,
-Always keep your guns + ammunition locked up when they are not in use,
-In your house + vehicles: keep guns + ammunition locked away + out of the hands of children 20 + younger, or move that age higher, if you prefer,
-Please don’t ever leave guns or ammunition with children that you have not personally trained in proper firearms safety + proper [firearms + ammunition] storage.
Please follow these rules for safe gun use and safe ammunition use.
Thank you for considering these ideas.
None of that can happen without mandatory training/class implementation addressing those issues.

Let’s see.
There are an estimated 300 million firearms in this country.
Which have supposedly resulted in 23 toddler shootings.
That is a rate of approximately 0.000008%, or put differently, over 1 in 13 million occurrences, or 0.0076 per every 100,000 guns.
Meanwhile, gay sex produces a rate of HIV infection, a lethal and disabling disease, of 10.5%, or 10,500 cases per 100,000, and abortions kill women at a rate of 0.6 per 100,000 abortions.
But liberals are obsessed with something hundreds, nay thousands of times less harmful.
But again, we must look in the context of things. Liberals want infected gays because infected gays become dependent on welfare, enslaved to the government, and thus can be expected to reliably vote for the Democrat Party that promises them more government and to cut off their welfare if they disobey. Liberals want maimed and abortion-obsessed women because both become more dependent on and enslaved to the Democrat Party that threatens to cut off their welfare and abortions if they disobey.
Guns, on the other hand, do NOT make one more welfare-dependent or government-dependent. Indeed, they provide the capability for the person to RESIST government domination, as our Revolutionary-era forbears found out rather quickly. And that is why liberals loathe them.
An armed populace is able to resist government. A welfare-dependent and helpless one is not. And that is why Democrats relentlessly push anything that makes people more helpless and welfare-dependent and tries to destroy anything that does the opposite.
So ND30 supports babies killing themselves with guns.
