THAT NEW FLORIDA SELF DEFENSE LAW
Florida Governor Jeb Bush has now signed the bill .. and the left is mightily upset. The bill? You know, that bill that actually recognizes the basic human right of self defense. Simply put, the new Florida law says that if find yourself under attack in a public place you don't have to look for a way to run away before you respond with deadly force. Here's your actual wording: In Florida a person now has "the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so, to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another."

What, pray tell, is the problem with that? You're attacked. You have a reasonable belief that you are in danger of great harm or death, or someone else is in danger, and you get to protect yourself with deadly force. Imagine that! A basic human right is the right of self defense. The very first governments formed by humankind were governments formed for one purpose ... to act to defend the people.

But what about the opponents? Well, it's the same old cast of characters. The mainstream media and liberals ... Democratic leftists. Democrats have a long history of opposing virtually any law that would allow a person to exercise their right to self defense. Most of you don't remember this, but about 30 years ago Ted "The Slug" Kennedy came up with a law introducing a new Federal Criminal Code. His idea was to compel the 50 states to adopt the federal code as their own. In that bill there was a retreat requirement. If you woke up in the middle of the night and heard someone rummaging around your home, you would be required to leave your home to the intruder if there was any way you could escape. You were simply not allowed to protect your home and its contents if you had the option to turn tail and run. Thankfully, Kennedy's bill failed.

But why is it that Democrats always seem to oppose measures like this? Because it's all part of the standard Democratic/leftist mindset. It's part of the war against individualism. It's part of building reliance and dependence on government. A law like Florida's actually reinforces the concept of individualism. It recognizes the individual's right to self defense; the individual's right to dominion over their own body, their own personal safety and their own future. Don't we realize that we're supposed to depend on government to protect us? How dare we take that responsibility on ourselves? To the liberal, it is the government that gives us, if it chooses to do so, the right to defend ourselves; and since our right to self-defense comes from the government, then it is the government's right and responsibility to tell us just what we can and can't do to defend our lives and our property.

Recognizing one's right to self defense only serves to reinforce our sense of individuality. Remember, Democrats have flatly stated that our nation is at war against individuality. Attacking the individual right of self defense is part and parcel of that war.

Oh .. and as for those hysterical leftists who will scream about the "Wild Wild West?" You need to know that there was less crime in the so-called Wild Wild West, where everyone carried a gun, then there is in almost any major urban area in America today.

actually that is a myth that people in the wild west carried shooten
irons in town
for the most part towns were quite and civilized and people respected other
peoples space and viewed guns as a tool unlike today were guns are viewed as
a means of power and control
