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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
