    She had a gun, which is the right the 2nd amendment gives you.

    It doesnt give you the right to kill other people because you feel like it.

      Exactly.

      Even if the fact pattern were that the shooting was justified (and I don’t know enough of the facts to comment on that), being convicted incorrectly for it wouldn’t be related to the second amendment.

      militia in the second amendment is a duty like a firefighter. If you own a gun you’re supposed to go help your neighbors when they need help. Its never been an “individual right”

      Imo, there should be some kind of “good will” pledge people are forced to take every time they purchase a gun or ammo just so they are reminded the second amendment was 1700s communism.
