1) There is no such law
Fine. We can disagree as to the intent of the second amendment.
I didn’t make it up, and I said all along there may be others who don’t agree but I choose to go with this one.
2) Even if there were The court applies the law.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
that’s what I have been trying to get you to understand all along.
You list all sorts of variables for the knife case to try to obfuscate the issue (see not just me!). It really isnt complicated the law is (not a verbatim quote ) “No killing unless in self defense”
Who gets to decide what is self defense ? the court. easy.
Really. So when the guy is coming at his victim with knife upraised
The victim tells him, ”hang tight, let me just make a quick call to my local court to see if I can kill you in self defense right now. BTW can you tell me the exact specifications of your knife because they will need to know. Also how much do you weigh?
OMG! It’s after the close of business 2pm Wednesday erev Thanksgiving. The court is closed till Monday morning.
Mr murderer, can you please come back around 12 next Monday?
I should know by then if I’m allowed to kill you in self defense.
That’s how you see this played out?
Glad I don’t live in your country.
I see it that the law says self defense is permitted. I see the situation in in currently and I make a quick decision based on how I think the law applies to my specific scenario.
I don’t worry about the fact that I will not know how to answer in every other scenario. It really makes no difference.
Same here.
The law (according to my chosen constitutional scholar) allows overthrow of tyrannical government.
I, decide that the government stealing the vote fits the bill. Bingo I can act on it. (legal disclaimer. not I personally .I think it’s a foolish course of action because it’s going to land you in jail or worse)
Do I know if a different situation that you are curious about, also fits the bill of this law?
Dunno. Come over shabbos after the cholent. If I can keep my eyes open we can schmooze about it. Whats the difference??
