Ok…so I probably can’t walk down the street now

So basically the Supreme Court, in their ever-knowing wisdom of all things conservatively true, basically said that the 2nd Amendment protects the right of an individual to carry a gun.  Yay.  Here is a situation that could plausibly happen.

  • I walk down the street and trip on a curb since I’m a clumsy bastard.
  • I fall into someones lawn.
  • This person comes out with his or her now offically legal right to carry a gun and shoots me.
  • In court, the person argues that I was “trespassing” and he or she had the right to defend themselves and their property.
  • They get off on self-defense.

Oh joy.  There is a logical difference between people having a right and people having the logical and mature responsibility to that right.  I can’t wait for the Court to realize this…especially with something that was freaking designed to kill.
