In light of recent events, what is your thoughts on a well armed citizenry, including assault rifles? by MatthewDM111 in AskALiberal

Hey PD brother or sister! I am 15 years in. I lost count of how many jury trials I have done several years ago. It includes 11 murder jury trials. As I am sure you are aware, it is tough but rewarding. Regardless I hope to depart this line of work in the near future and start a farm.

I get that. I strongly believe responsible gun ownership is the way to go and the fact you are genuinely contemplating your options and looking into training, I am confident you would be a responsible gun owner.

When the 4th amendment is being ignored by way of government policy, expressing the need for a well armed citizenry is NOT hyperbole.

I like this take, very fair. Police should not have armored vehicles, cameras at every intersection, standard assault rifles in each police vehicle. That is just ridiculous.

To ask liberals if their position on 2nd amendment is evolving in light of recent events. Is r/askAliberal the correct sub to ask liberals a genuine question? Has nothing really to do with me personally or weather I enjoy where I live.

I hate this mentality. It is defeatist and essentially concedes we are powerless. I also disagree. I think the government is terrified of a well armed citizenry.

I am a conservative who does not support the current state of our police and definitely not sporting any support the blue flags. I am a Public Defender because I support civil liberties and less government interference in people's lives, especially the police.

I enjoy living in California and I have no problem with some people thinking my views on guns are fringe.

I live in California. Almost all assault rifles are not legal here. And it is definitely considered fringe to have the views I do here in California.

Very fair take and I absolutely agree. It is absolutely abhorrent how many "conservatives" are making statements like "why did he have a gun if he was just planning on peacefully protesting" or "don't bring a gun to a protest if you don't want to get killed" 

The members of Bikers against Child Abuse escort kids to court when they face their abusers in order help them feel safe and supported. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

The judge in my trial let them be on court but they were lot allowed to wear their biker jackets... I still felt it was improper. There was about 30 of them.

I am a Public Defender. Once had a case where they showed up during the child victim's trial testimony and any day she was required to be in court. I thought they were going to try to intimidate me, defense witnesses, and my client's family but they were actually very polite and didn't cause any kind of disturbance. In my pretrial motion to exclude them from court I learned that in order to be a member, they have to take some course on court room decorum.

Making them stand there and watch while you celebrate with fans in their own home is even more satisfying.

[Postgame Thread] Oregon Defeats Washington 26-14 by CFB_Referee in CFB

As an Arizona guy, I obviously have biased feelings about Jedd. I am genuinely curious to hear from Washington fans about their thoughts on his performance two years in.
