A statement that Assemblywoman and Congressional candidate Michele Fiore made in an interview with Politics NOW’s Steve Sebelius is at the center of a growing controversy.
"I would never, ever point my firearm at anyone, including an officer of the law, unless they pointed their firearm at me. Now, once you point your firearm at me, I'm sorry, then it becomes self-defense,” she said on Politics NOW last month. “Whether you're a stranger, a bad guy, or an officer, and you point your gun at me, and you're going to shoot me, and I have to decide whether it's my life or your life, well, I choose my life." |

She's right, of course. I've been the victim of badge toting criminals more than once, in one case a felonious assault, but I've never shot any of them, for the simple reason that none of them ever threatened to shoot me. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
