| Pity that Mr. Williamson felt he had to "cherry pick" his examples but then failed to recognize there's no incumbency upon the threatened to determine if the weapon used is lethal. Self-defense, or defense of family or others "in extremis" isn't "vigilantism". Perhaps Mr. Williamson can persuade the gang bangers and gun-using drug peddlers/users not to randomly shoot their victims and be content with money. But until that miracle happens, legally armed citizens will continue to defend themselves and theirs with lethal force if its thrust upon them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
