As the mourning maternal aunt of Thomas A. Dickinson, gunned down in the middle of the desert after a verbal altercation, I am heartened to see Tim Steller's column in which he clearly conveys alarm with our self-defense law, which raises monumental concerns in its written interpretation and egregious failure to be effectively applied in the defense of victims in court. |

BS.
It may fail the COLLECTIVE (it actually does not), but it definitely does not fail the INDIVIDUAL.
The United States of America is built upon and centered around INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, not collective ones. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
