One local faith leader joined over 60 other faith leaders across Arkansas in signing and submitting a letter as Arkansas Faith Against “Stand Your Ground,” to Governor Asa Hutchinson and members of the Arkansas Legislature this week advocating against the passage of bill SB24 or the Stand Your Ground defense bill.
The Arkansas State Senate passed a ‘Stand Your Ground’ bill, which removed a duty to retreat from an attacker if possible and expanded a current self-defence law to apply to areas outside one’s property, on Jan. 19. |

| A violent felon killed in flagrante delicto is not a "senseless loss of life," it is eminently sensible. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
