Nevada Bill Would Allow Criminals to Sue Victims Who Defend Themselves
- Thread starter mikeyp
- Start date
Ran it through Google translate. Comes out as "I got caught submitting a change that supports my criminal constituents, so I'm going to back off for now until hopefully no one is looking. Then I'll resubmit it."
Dead men can't sue..... Just saying.... that's what the law will encourage.
If acquitted of murder, the accused legally is not a murderer and the deceased in that case is not a 'stand your ground "victim"'. But nice try weasel! Someone reading or hearing his statement might not pick up on exactly what he's saying and think it reasonable, when it sure as Hell isn't.
SYG is not always also "civil immunity"
This is where civil immunity (e.g. RSA 627:1-a) is valuable -- it doesn't prevent the attacker's family from trying to sue you, but makes it highly unlikely they will find a lawyer willing to take the case on contingency.
Dead Men's estates can sue, but they can't testify.

How do these people sleep at night dreaming up this shit?

While this is true, and a good outcome, the following facts remain:
- The bill was supported by 10 of 21 NV Senators, including their entire Senate leadership;
- The bill died in the committee chaired by the only Democrat who did not officially support the bill; and,
- Democrats have a majority in the Nevada Senate.
I would bet anything that they did not actually come up with this shit. Some aide to Bloomberg probably drafted it for them, it got emailed to them, they smiled and nodded and submitted it, like good little moonbat sheep, following the the motions of the "big people" in their ranks.
Remember when Carolyn Mc Carthy couldn't tell Tucker Carlson what a Barrel Shroud was? Well, there's a good reason for that. Because she didn't actually write the legislation. Someone else did and handed it to her. Antis have been doing this shit for awhile.
I strongly suspect that if NV has a pro 2A organization, that its either not very strong or doesn't have much influence, ,otherwise this is the kind of thing that could be cut off at the pass through various means. It's pretty obvious here that Bloomberg sees a weakness in NV and is kinda bitter after he wasted that 6 million bucks or whatever it was to try to get UBC passed there and it didn't work, he is now armflapping and flailing about trying to get some "anti gun murderboner ROI" on his investment there.

It's not just antis. Much if not most legislation is not written by legislators, it's written by special interest groups. The quality of our law has noticeably declined in step with that trend- how many new laws have a mens rea component.
It's not just about guns.
It's anti self defense period .
Shoot em , stab em, whack em in the head with a bat or just a good old fashioned ass whipping.
In England you can be sued if not outright jailed for fighting back against someone trying to kill you.
There was a guy who wounded a home invader in England and he was sued by the guy because now the dude was afraid to do home invasions anymore because of his injuries and it robbed him of a living.
He won.

They really need to hit the reset button. You know if French laws make you look weak you are doing something wrong

Was that the story about the old guy who shot a couple kids full of bird shot with his double barrel shotgun because they kept burglarizing his house? Didn't they toss the old guy in jail in addition to the didindonuffins suing him?
...a public official in the performance of his duties is immune from civil suit...
Unofficially, it's called "professional courtesy". Same way politicians and off-duty officers (used to) get immunity for DUI.
For example, New Hampshire Representative Elaine Andrews-Ahearn often cribs from here http://smartgunlaws.org/resources/model-laws/
Officially? In general “qualified immunity” applies anytime the officer is "acting within the scope of his employment". The defense has it's limits.

Many lobby groups, including the hoplophobes, have law firms writing "model legislation" for them which their adherents then introduce, with few or no changes, at the state level.

It's called liberalism.

And some here think there is NO Difference between Liberals and Conservatives.![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Not shitting you- I just had a "conservative" that voted for trump, tell me 10 minutes ago he didn't like the new NH carry law because "it should have only been extended to NH residents" because "we dont know these people and whether or not they have a license somewhere else" and a bunch of other effluvial bullshit. My only retort was "Well, VT has had that kind of system in place for probably as long as you've been alive, maybe longer, and they haven't had any problems from it. "
My mind is numb.
America is loaded with retarded self described "conservatives" too.

Fudds gonna Fudd!
The only area something like this would pass is in Vegas. Having lived in NV for a couple years, no other area would consider it. Like NH, NV is a Shall Issue state, but the head of Clark? county is an ass and ignores the law. Everywhere else, it's legal CCW/home invasion vs intruder no questions asked. Just my exposure to both people and talking to law enforcement, both local and state.
The view of wanting things to apply/not apply to you while not applying/applying to someone else, is a common view on multitudes of issues held by people of every political spectrum. Different rules for different people. I know I wouldn't do that, but I don't know that someone else wouldn't, therefore they should have to have x, y, and z apply, but nothing need apply to me.
So that persons opinion had little if anything to do with guns specifically.
