Finally something good appears to have happened from the Ersland case. The entire House committee voted to support this bill and with Republicans in control of both House and Senate it is likely it will pass. I believe it is only up to the new Governor on whether this bill becomes law or not. As for the Ersland case I hope that Mr. Ersland is acquitted. What that fanatical left wing democratic District Attorney did to him was unacceptable and Prater should be removed from office.

The sad thing is that the states have to create new statutes to protect law abiding citizens who want to defend themselves. You would think Police Officers and/or Prosecutors would have enough sense.

Not a matter of sense. It's a matter of ideaology. Most government bureaucrats abhor the thought of the peasants having the power to defend themselves. Any power in the hands of the people (ala the constitution) is power NOT in the hands of the government officials.

With Blacks committing 40+% of all crimes in the USA...there has to be a racial component to this passing/failing.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Unfortunately, too many who run law enforcement and the courts fear citizen self-defense.....too many dead criminals means fewer jobs for cops and lawyers.

Citizens should have unlimited rights into Self Defense....including no criminal or civil penalties for self defense. We have too many laws ensuring Criminal Rights
