Goldberg On Heller
My feelings, pretty much:
Maybe it's my long experience in Israel, but I believe that the
average, law-abiding citizen can be trusted with a firearm. More than
that -- and again, maybe this is my experience in Israel talking -- I
don't like the idea of subcontracting my own defense to the police. Why
should a person who is paid $40,000 a year, who doesn't know me, who
doesn't live in my neighborhood, risk his life for me when, properly
armed, I'm fully capable of defending myself? It never seemed fair to
me.
One of my good friends is a DC cop. I'd trust him to defend me. But he'd also trust me to defend myself. I should add that I live on a corner in DC that has had its share of gun violence. I will feel no less secure after this decision.
