Destroy the lives of anyone who dares to defend themselves.
While Leftist racist felons get $1,000 bail for trying to murder their girlfriends.
Change my mind.

At the moment the question is not the right to keep and bear arms. But how you use the arms.
What is really happening is that the get out of jail free phrase isn’t working in every instance. I was afeared for my life just ain’t cutting it anymore.
So what is driving this change? Mostly it is video. With Video being involved in most cases now, I was afeared for my life loses some of its power.
Take the case of Drejka in Florida. The State where Zimmerman was found not guilty. Ok. So we know self defense is a viable legal defense. So what was different? We didn’t have the words of the survivor as the only version. We had the dispassionate view of the camera.
Drejka was found guilty. The jury did not find his actions were “reasonable”.
Earlier this week, Florida, same state, found that a man was using Self Defense and found him Not Guilty on Murder and Attempted Murder.
It is what the Jury believes is Reasonable.
None of these cases are based upon your Second Amendment Rights. All of them are about how you employ that weapon. The picture in the OP is of the St. Louis couple. They broke the law by “Brandishing” their weapons. I’ve written how their actions were stupid Legally, Tactically, and Strategically. Enough so that you should have no problem finding those comments.
You are free to keep them. Free to bear them. But you can’t run around waving the bang sticks about. That is where you run into trouble.
Your second amendment rights are not under attack. Your lack of restraint in how you handle them is the issue. And it should be.
