The fate of a controversial ‘stand your ground’ measure is now in the hands of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem after House Bill 1212 cleared the Senate on Monday. The bill, which was killed in the Senate Judiciary committee on March 4, was recovered via the ‘smoke out’ rule just hours later. The Senate voted 21-14 in favor of approving the bill.
...
In response to the question, Noem’s director of communications, Ian Fury, says, “Governor Noem supports that legislation.” |

"Islam also says that the bill offers too much latitude for the average citizen to decide for themselves if deadly force should be used."
???!!! Eau, PEDDISH the THAWGHT.
"The bill states that a person would have the right to use deadly force if they have “reasonable fear” of 'imminent death' or 'great bodily injury.' Section 5 clarifies that a person is presumed to have held 'reasonable fear' if the person they kill was in the process of unlawfully entering a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, was attempting to remove someone from a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if the person using deadly force believes that un unlawful entry or forcible act was occurring[.]"
*ahek, mutter, blubber* PREPOSTEROUS!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
