I don’t know how I missed this, but earlier this year a law was passed in Indiana that allows citizens to shoot at police. This very law was backed by the NRA:
Every time police Sergeant Joseph Hubbard stops a speeder or serves a search warrant, he says he worries suspects assume they can open fire — without breaking the law.
Hubbard, a 17-year veteran of the police department in Jeffersonville, Indiana, says his apprehension stems from a state law approved this year that allows residents to use deadly force in response to the “unlawful intrusion” by a “public servant” to protect themselves and others, or their property.
“If I pull over a car and I walk up to it and the guy shoots me, he’s going to say, ‘Well, he was trying to illegally enter my property,’” said Hubbard, 40, who is president of Jeffersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 100. “Somebody is going get away with killing a cop because of this law.”
The NRA and gun nuts in this country are bound and determined to take us back to the days of the wild west. They don’t realize the biggest threat facing this country is them. I believe it’s past time to classify the NRA as a terrorist organization and treat them as such.
