Argument for the Second Amendment

2nd Amendment South Carolina

Here’s a great argument for keeping the Second Amendment and not limiting it any further.

13-year-old pulls pistol, foils robbery

George Dickert wore a .38-caliber pistol on his hip on Monday — the same weapon he says his 13-year-old son used to chase off a gunman and others who he says barged into their Greenville home a day earlier. Dickert, 44, said that while he was swinging at a gun-wielding suspect, his son was retrieving a pistol from a bedroom. “He is the hero in this situation,” Dickert said.

Good thing we have a Castle Doctrine law in South Carolina now. If the Dad had been forced to use deadly force to protect his family, he wouldn’t have been prosecuted.

The great thing about this is the Dad has been training his son to defend himself. The police can’t protect us all the time. We must have the freedom to protect ourselves. If the kid hadn’t pulled a gun, his entire family would probably be dead right now.

Fined Furniture

South Carolina

Adults in Anderson, S.C., are still allowed to sit on their front porches, but if Bea Thompson, the mayor pro tem, gets her way, the city will soon be able to fine homeowners who rock there in ugly chairs or display anything not specified as suitably attractive by local lawmakers. A July 16 report by WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C., quotes Ms. Thompson saying that residents should have “appropriate porch furniture.” Aunt Bee was never so bossy.

The idiocy of this kind of regulation is so blatantly obvious, it doesn’t need further comment.
