   Say, Headley,   
      
   I know this is a non-sequiter, but I've been wanting to ask: do you   
   guys still support the second amendment? (The one to the Constitution,   
   I mean.)   
      
   Now, I have always been outspoken that I see 2A as a compromise by   
   which we could get the 1787 Constitution accepted without codifying   
   slavery into it in any meaningful way.  You and your cohort, OTOH,   
   have loudly stated that it exists to allow citizens to respond to a   
   government invasion with deadly force.   
      
   So, here we have a person who was shot, and the only evident reason is   
   that: "He was armed and had two magazines."  Now, don't get me wrong,   
   I think carrying a gun *should* be a serious crime, but it simply   
   isn't.  So what, he had a gun?  We all have guns.  It's 2026 and we're   
   all violent sociopaths.   
      
   While I oppose gun carry, if I were the person under assault by the   
   ICE agents (and had a gun), I would have gone for it immediately...   
   it's a "target rich environment"; all I gotta do is get a round off   
   and I've got a good chance of hitting someone.  I'm aware I'd be dead,   
   but ICE has a history of shooting people anyway and I might get lucky.   
      
   So, here is my question: do you still believe that gun carry is a   
   human right?  Do you still believe that a person has an indelible   
   right to defend him or herself if attacked... even when the attackers   
   are federal agents?   
      
   It's an honest question.  I know, we usually don't take questions on   
   Usenet, but, if you'll address this one, I will reciprocate.  It's not   
   an easy question, because I think you're in a bit of a dilema here.
