    | 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 trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country.  — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |  |  |
