    It is sad that we even need a law that allows us to defend ourselves.

    I read something about this a week or two ago. The usual suspects were lamenting this as ''a license to kill black people!''.

    Good for Ohio. They are certainly a state that seems to have been moving in a positive direction when it comes to the 2nd over the last couple of years.

    Its the authoritarianism of the left. "Who the fuck do you peons think you are to deal with your own problems?" That's the government's job.
