In my CCW class, the POINT of being an armed citizen is to get the goblin to cease and desist, NOT to ventilate him/her (except as a last resort).  

One can't hold the goblin at gunpoint - that's kidnapping.  (which I also don't get).  Now I can't threaten someone who is threatening ME????

"Why did you shoot him 12 times?"

"The clip only holds 12 rounds."  

I like that.

Since the majority of our elected officials are lawyers, and as lawyers, they know that words matter, I believe such "not reading" is done on purpose...

In my experience, laywers become politicians because they are 1) too stupid, or 2) too lazy, to make a living practicing law,  That having been said, I agree with the philosopher who opined:  "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Ah, yaaaas. The old, "Halt, or *BLAM!* I'll shoot" trick...
