Murder has a specific definition, it means the intentional killing of an innocent person.
The left would LOVE for it to be illegal to defend yourself.
Then we can rejoin the UK..... and be just like them.
Great people, and like us they have Stupid A$$ legislators
Former Dim presidential candidate, M. Stanley Dukakis, as governor of MA, managed to get a "duty to flee" [from your own abode] law passed.
Dukakis was, probably still is, a kool-aid drinker, but I'm pretty sure the MA solons went along to protect their own ne'er-do-well offspring, relatives, and voters, from people with common sense.
They always have. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws explicitly to prevent blacks from defending themselves from lynch mobs.
(Also, there is no shortage of nations that passed gun control laws just a few years before mass killings began.)
