The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights. In addition, one's mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm.

The libtard that wrote this article believes that people should not shoot violent criminals because it deprives them of their right to a fair trial!
So, let me get this straight; a criminal’s right to a trial trumps might right to life and liberty? Hmmm. Smells like stupid.
Yep, more backwards leftist logic. Like saying that executing a convicted murderer in the gas chamber deprives him of his right to vote, so must be illegal. Mush.
Criminal’s last words: “Just give me the gun, b!tch”.
Is this satire?
“In addition, one’s mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm.”
I must have missed the mental clause within the 2nd. Gotta be in there between restrictive magazine capacity and government approved psychologists to approve such a right.
OK,... so I’ll have a cross bow with a #90 pull and my bow shafts aluminum with forged steel heads
If you break into my place I will be the judge ,jury and executioner.

“...using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights. In addition, one’s mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm.”
Isn’t the corollary “one’s mental capacity is a major factor in deciding whether a man or woman has the right to have a firearm” the real argument?

...The belief that a gun is a useful tool to protect one is counterintuitive because guns get into the hands of people who use them for horrible reasons...
My wife and I used to travel interstate with an 870 in the trunk before CCW was common.
We stopped at a big name motel on the interstate in Missouri one memorable time. I took the shotgun inside the room and leaned it against the bedside nightstand. I had a full magazine tube but not one in the chamber.
At 3am, the door was kicked open, but the flimsy extra chain inside held, I grabbed the shotgun as someone pushed against the door, trying to completely open it.
I charged the shotgun and it made the unmistakeable KA CHUNK
sound as a 00 was chambered. A female voice immediately yelled, “Don’t shoot. Don’t shoot. We be leavin’. We be leavin.” The woman and her two helpers fled down the stairs.
Believe me,it wasn’t room service. Yes, the shotgun was a useful tool for protection for me, my wife, and two kids.
Nothing counterintuitive about that decision in the real world. The author is an idiot.
Justin Curmi is a pathetic little dweeb & further proof that sons should never be named Justin.
My thoughts exactly - would only add I’d be the burial detail as well.
Even for a liberal this is one weak argument.
