From time to time, I take my life in my own hands and write a column that I know lots of people will not like. This is one of those times.
The headlines in Milwaukee say homicides are up 80 percent. In Chicago they are up 23 percent. In Charlotte five more are dead in a drive-by shooting. The United States is on schedule to set a record of gun deaths in 2015.

So this, guy, if a juror for a murder trial, would vote "Not Guilty" based on the following plea:
"Your Honor, my client pleads not guilty. He didn't kill the victim, the bullet did... and if not the bullet, the handgun from which the bullet was fired. All my client did was to load the bullet into the firearm, point the firearm in the direction of the victim, and gently squeeze the trigger.
My client is innocent. He was at least fifty feet from the victim and could not have inflicted the injuries resulting in death. It's all on the video.
I move for a directed verdict of acquittal." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
