Making Self Defense Illegal

I see a pattern developing in the “anti-gun” fight. That pattern is the disarming of the LEGAL gun owners while denying them the right guaranteed to them by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, to “bear arms” for self defense. I know self defense is not mentioned, but it is implied by the very existence of the Second Amendment. Look at recent history, if you will. In one place, a teenager was physically attacked by rioters, who promised to kill him for daring to try and defend a business from their violence. They were trying hard to kill him when he shot two of them to death, and wounded a third, saving his own life and the lives of many others in the process. So what did the local “authorities” do? They charged him with two counts of murder and one of attempted murder. Whether or not those charges will be thrown out of court depends on whether or not he goes before a liberal, or conservative judge. In St. Louis, a homeowner showed his guns to a mob of rioters who had promised to kill him and his wife, and burn down his house. He knew they were serious because they had already damaged part of his property while trespassing. Did the “authorities” charge the rioters with anything? No! They are charging the homeowner with “menacing” charges for “displaying a dangerous weapon,” completely ignoring the deadly provocation. Again, their future depends on what kind of a judge they get. Or maybe the Supreme Court will throw both cases out of court, IF Trump manages to get his candidate confirmed. (Just common sense)
