In my opinion, the whole reason we have the Second Amendment is that sometimes the King's Men need killing, and the people need to have the ability to do so.

Very true. But this is not one of those times.

Eminent domain is a power reserved by every sovereign government since the dawn of civilization. We are Constitutionally protected by the Takings clause of the Fifth Amendment, which requires the government to pay us fair value for land they require for public purposes.

However, we are not protected from eminent domain itself. This man was wrong. He had no right or standing to deprive these two men of their lives. He had no reason to leave their families widowed and fatherless.

Idiots like this do terrible damage to the Second Amendment rights we must preserve for the day of REAL injustice.

What is your breaking point? When is enough, enough? I fear we're getting awfully close to that breaking point where hell will be unleashed upon those that would tread upon our freedoms.

A day that is creeping closer and closer, gathering speed by the minute.
