The right to life

[jmg257]

2. Has someone passed an act somewhere removing "self-defense" from Justification

for the use of deadly physical force??

Is the only means of self-defense a gun? No doubt it can be an effective option.

Lately, many courts seem to think as long as there is an alternative available, restrictions of certain arms does not interfere with your right to self-defense. In fact, some say there may be compelling reasons for govt to attempt to limit your choices - usually involving protecting the right to life of others is given as a base cause.


"Justification; use of physical force in defense of a person.
1. A person may, subject to the provisions of subdivision two, use
physical force upon another person when and to the extent he or she
reasonably believes such to be necessary to defend himself, herself or a
third person from what he or she reasonably believes to be the use or
imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person..."
2. A person may not use deadly physical force upon another person
under circumstances specified in subdivision one unless:
(a) The actor reasonably believes that such other person is using or
about to use deadly physical force.


The natural right of defending life was not given up by the people.
It is of a such a nature that it can't be.

"But it is not necessary, for this purpose, that individuals should relinquish all their natural rights. Some are of such a nature that they cannot be surrendered. Of this kind are the rights of conscience, the right of enjoying and defending life, etc. "
