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 |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
