Gun Nut Kills Two Innocent Neighbors On Their Own Property

[Laxman]

54. There Is A Long List...

of infamous people who committed heinous crimes and were sentenced to death or life in prison after being afforded due process. Here you can add two more names to the list of innocent people summarily executed by someone who believed it was within their right as a gun owner to "keep the peace". That ability to end someone else's life based on the subjective perception of an untrained individual without proper justification is a serious problem in this country and it is linked to a gross misinterpretation of what the 2nd amendment meant when it was written. Morphing it into the form that the NRA and their supporters claim it takes today is almost laughable since so many of them are for the "strict interpretation" of the Constitution and threaten to use 2nd amendment remedies to return "constitutional" government to the U.S. I say "almost" laughable because this incident is yet another example of the consequences of that thinking and there is nothing here to laugh about.
