One local faith leader joined over 60 other faith leaders across Arkansas in signing and submitting a letter as Arkansas Faith Against “Stand Your Ground,” to Governor Asa Hutchinson and members of the Arkansas Legislature this week advocating against the passage of bill SB24 or the Stand Your Ground defense bill.
The Arkansas State Senate passed a ‘Stand Your Ground’ bill, which removed a duty to retreat from an attacker if possible and expanded a current self-defence law to apply to areas outside one’s property, on Jan. 19. |

A violent felon killed in flagrante delicto is not a "senseless loss of life," it is eminently sensible. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
