There is the question on self defense laws themselves and how they apply in situations like this. Basically he's out there armed and taking the law into his own hand. The thing he's supposedly protecting has no link to him. If he's not armed to the hilt does any of this happen? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/13/u...e=articleShare |
This has more to do with gun control laws.
At that point in the night there were many looters out, some of them armed themselves. The local law enforcement was encouraging people to defend their own property.
The obvious solution is to pull the guns off the street. It's even nuttier that teenagers are allowed to carry guns, the major restriction being barrel length. Not only do you have guns, but they are in the hands of emotionally immature people, who aren't deemed old enough to drink or vote.... But they can carry an ar-15 as long as the barrel is long enough and then purposely walk into a tense situation with that weapon.
