1670 WTDY's Sly in the Morning is gun crazy. He and I have been debating this for years. Sly tried his best a few weeks back to defend the states new Castle Doctrine, a law that's already claimed its first victim, Bo Morrison. Guest attorney John Walsh presents a simple and convincing case against it. But the small part of the brain that accepts the logic of gun ownership, is like a cerebral weed, spreading its toxic roots into every neuron and cranial cavity.
We should ban guns today and create testosterone release centers (regulated militia's), to keep these thuggish tendencies in check.
One thing I really hate about the Castle Doctrine is that it can shortcut the investigation of a shooting. The law's presumption of self-defense makes it so difficult to prove otherwise that many prosecutors won't bother to make a case against a suspicious shooter. Thus, the shooting is never fully investigated and we don't learn anything that can help us prevent the next tragic death.
ReplyDeleteWho was the victim and who was the aggressor? We may never really know.
