There has occasionally been a case where someone was acquitted on self-defense grounds after shooting at police. The most prominent one I know of involved a guy named Larry Davis. But such verdicts are extremely rare. With regard to crooked politicians, the best-known case is the so-called "Battle of Athens [Tennessee]" (Google it).Actually, I don't really want everyone walking around with a gun either. But the Second Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights, like it or not. And I don't want the precedent set that the Bill of Rights can be weakened by a new Amendment. If they can do it to the Second, they could do it to the First. |
