California lawmakers have proposed a bill restricting self-defense, mandating “retreat,” ending crime-stopping protections and limiting force to what’s “reasonably necessary.”

Bystanders intervening to protect others or stop crimes could face higher legal risks. Someone like New York’s Daniel Penny, for instance, might face conviction for holding down a dangerous individual. A Manhattan jury in December found Penny, whose attorneys said was acting in self-defense, not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.

Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group, backs the bill, claiming it blocks white supremacists from exploiting self-defense to justify shootings.

Should have shoved his cane in their spokes and if done right the bicyclists will go head over heels for his prank.

More malarkey from the anti-gunners. But what else could we expect from the land of fruits and nuts? ;)

Shit happens and if you are on the wrong side of the law, you get what you deserve. ;)
