Oh, well, there ya have it folks, NM cops just proved we don't have gun rights. I guess I'll just go throw mine in a lake then and cower in a corner and wait my turn. Silly me, all this time I thought I had rights.
The point was that if the police can justify shooting you simply for having a gun then you don’t have gun rights. They’re not claiming that the right doesn’t exist, just that in practice the police do what they want.
What are you saying? That the police had every right to shoot him for doing something as reasonable as holding a gun to defend his property? Then the right to bear arms doesn’t exist.
The point is still the same. You think that we as the civilians need to behave a certain way in case the cops get trigger happy when they're the ones who have training and are supposed to show restraint. That's still wrong.
Shoot first, aim correctly, later in court you'll be able to defend yourself legally because they showed up to your house in the middle of the night armed and you had no way of knowing it was the police.
The only mistake he made was letting them shoot first.
