There is nothing all that strange about this one.

This was their first attempt at outlawing self-defense, as it is outlawed in Europe.

In Europe and the UK, if home-invaders kick in your door and grab your wife and start carrying your TV out and you grab a knife from the kitchen and stab one of them, you go to jail and the perps get to sue you for everything you own.

This is the brave new world they have envisioned for us, and they will not stop until they get it.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
