The massive power of government prosecutors is a dangerous loophole in the sane limitation of state authority. As was mentioned in the article, the burden of proof is on the government in every other instance of criminal procedure. It is disingenuous to argue that the elements of due process are somehow different because self-defense is involved - in fact, self-defense is where all considerations should start, because it deals with our very first and most important fundamental right - LIFE.
Ohio, pass this law, shove it down Kasich's RINO throat, and watch a broad smile spread across the face of Lady Justice. |

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)] |
