It's actually happening.I've cited many examples of it right here in this thread.Of course you won't remember the story of the Lima Ohio cops who raided the wrong house and shot the young mother who was holding her baby, but things like this happen every day.The police have no responsibility for their mistakes, if indeed they are mistakes.They are immune from civil suit, and when they shoot someone they aren't even required to make a statement until after 48 hours.When your door comes crashing in, followed by several men dressed in black with their faces hidden, why shouldn't the lawful owner of the property be allowed to open fire?Why aren't cops held to the simple standards of our constitution?Why shouldn't cops be protecting our rights instead of violating them?Like I said, I have no trust in the people writing these laws.There is no public demand for such laws.They are being instituted at the behest of ALEC and the NRA.Many legislators are being bankrolled by them.I thought they were supposed to work for us.
