Ebbie, I have re-read my posts and I do not know what you are referring to or where you picked up your obvious misquote. Almost and murder??? Huh?

The thing about rights, our God-given rights according to the Declaration, is that they are your rights! You can't give them up as they are unalienable. They are part and parcel of what you are as a human being. If you abuse your rights at the expense of another person's rights then you have jeopardized your rights and a jury of peers can take various actions to remedy the abuse or abuses. Everyone has the right to defend their life and the lives of the innocent folks in their house and community. And we have the right to be able to meet force with force sufficient to counter whatever force is weilded aganst us, hence we have the right to keep and bear arms. It is the resposiblity of the person to conduct himself or herself in a way that does not threaten or abuse the rights of others and our laws are, or were originally, designed to delineate those responsibilities and to provide penalty and compensation for abuses.

If someone has demonstrated mental illness of the type and to the degree which constitutes a threat, they need to be identified and limited in their personal sovereignty, that is as a free moral agent.
