Gun laws are reasonable...

Back to Alexander, what was reasonable about her case?

 

[The Albatross]

Read again and you will see, that I do not believe the law was an issue... I believe the conviction was wrong and that the error was the interpretation of the law already on the books by the prosecutors and judiciary branch. [edited to add, I also believe that her sentencing was WAY too harsh]

 

[The Albatross]

I guess I should be thankful you aren't interested in Treyvon Martin. Anthony, commented to me and I responded... so with that, I'll leave you to it.

Gun laws are reasonable

I'll quietly disagree with the generalization, but I think other than that we're pretty much in agreement :cry: :hug:

 

[The Albatross]

Frankly I didn't expect otherwise, cuz you're a Brit just as Anthony is in Oz. And also, this topic has already "generalized".

Back to Alexander, what was reasonable about her case?

going from your account, nothing was right with it.

The incentive system that DAs, prosecutors and judges operate under, is not conducive to finding justice, and there is next to no mechanism in that system to correct its failings.

on a separate note, and absolutely not writing about the Alexander case;

warning shots are a bad idea for a whole slew of reasons, not least that you don't necessarily know where it's going to end up

I would have liked to express my personal reasons for my support of 2nd Amendment in civil discussion but as a Texan, I've already been stereotyped. I do support all rights granted to me by my Constitution including our Bill of Rights. Each side has their own "facts", there own agenda's, etc. Hmmm

recognized by

those rights (and many more, not enumerated) were pre existing and are not contingent on a piece of paper

they derive from your nature as an individual human being.

Case Information: Voisine v. U.S., No. 14-10154 (U.S. Supreme Court Brief Filed Jan. 26, 2016)

At Issue: Petitioners in this case argue that they should not be prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms, even though they were convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence. The argument is a very technical legal argument that would have the effect of greatly narrowing the circumstances under which a convicted domestic abuser would be prohibited from firearm possession under federal law. These arguments were rejected by the First Circuit, and the case is now on appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Law Center’s Brief: We joined with the Brady Center on an amicus brief in which we argue that the federal firearm prohibition for convicted domestic abusers should be interpreted broadly to include individuals convicted of recklessly injuring a domestic partner. Our brief points out important social science research demonstrating how crucial it is that this life-saving provision be interpreted broadly. For example, studies show that in households with a history of domestic violence, the presence of a gun makes a homicide 5 times more likely.

so just ignore fallacies while commenting here?
