Uh, no. Your right to self defense doesn’t negate my right to private property. Which is the whole point.

Sorry, but life trumps property. Even the Founders and Locke thought so.

Who wouldn’t waste property to save a life, that is the Founders argument, but they noted carefully that your property is your life and your use of it your liberty. To lose either is to infringe on liberty.

That is what this law does.

The original Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property, was simply too limited and was changed to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (self-defined).
