Also, the assurance of the authorities that "no one would be prosecuted for a gun law violation in cases of self-defense" was just bizarre. Either it's a valid law that needs to be enforced (you, know, like a law), or if violating it is not a crime, then remove it from the damn books. If it's enforced selectively, then it seems more like a tool of harassment than an actual method of protecting the citizenry. Augh.
Totally. The best way to sum it up is that gravity is a law, it doesn't pick and choose what it will and will not affect.
If you selectively enforce something, then it's not a law. This is where police get the idea that they are somehow involved in the decision making process instead of realizing they are at the bottom of the legal system, they are merely the enforcers.
