I don t feel the need; the good side won. That 's enuf.

I've already said what I think about this matter. Go back and re-read my posts.
It has ofen been the case that lawyers have been very
eager
to proffer their legal theories; I thought u might be. That 's OK.
I saw (in passing) your discussions of your ideas qua the facts,
not the excerpted law. I was just mildly curious; no need to "banter"
an
exegesis of the allegedly applicable statute.
I will take the inference that u have
NOT found any support
for your theories in the words of the statute; no problem.

I judge not,
that I be not judged. I 'm not getting paid to judge.
A lot of people have their personal problems; none of my business.
His thoughtful kindness to his nabors, his protection from burglary,
on the nite of the fight was enuf to remember him by.

The truth is that I don 't care much.
He will have to address any mistakes for which he is held to account,
the same as anyone, but that is not relevant to anyone 's right
to kill in active defense of his life. No matter
how bad anyone 's
character is, he still has the right to defend his life;
"equal protection of the laws".
That 's what I call the Saints and Angels interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.
The Bill of Rights was enacted for the protection of
EVERYONE,
not just for the Saints and Angels of America.

In even the most
severe disarmament-based scenario, blackmarket gunsmiths will abound.
For many centuries before the advent of electric tools guns were made by hand;
its a lot more convenient now and u end up with a
custom made result. (Easy, home made submachine guns:

Anyone and everyone is within his rights
to end his human life at a time of his choosing. Its
HIS life.
He has sovereign autonomy over it. Its a private, personal decision.
People did not wait until guns were invented to begin committing suicide.
