BTT!
The fact any “conservative” thinks someone must give up their right to self-defense because they made past mistakes (even felony mistakes) means that person does not understand what grace, mercy, or being Conservative actually means!
I was assigned to jury duty recently. When I was interviewed in jury selection I was honest with the judge. The charge was illegal possession of a weapon, and the perp appeared to be a drug dealer. Now personally, I'd execute all drug dealers. But even a felon has a right to self defense, so I could not in good conscience find him guilty.
I was excused from the case.
There’s a lot of truth in that.
In this story, it sounds a lot like “trash taking out the trash”.
I’m comfortable with that.
