Other State Incredibly Insane Reasons For TX Bill to Remove their 'Castle Doctrine'

[RVTECH]

In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "castle doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.

Now listen to what she has to say...
"I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed."
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill "would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Under the new law the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner."

"In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance will reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."

Actually, I do not have the time or desire to perform even a simple means test on prospective Self Robin Hood types.

So in the interest of fairness, Imma cap y'all!

Perhaps armed people should break into her house, hold her at gun point and possibly assault her physically or sexually as victims of home invasions often have to suffer... Maybe then this crazy c**t will understand her political agenda here not only harms the law abiding gun community.. but innocent women and families that get attacked like this every day in their homes.

Wow, I thought an IQ of 20 was the minimum to register on the IQ chart? But apparently vegetables can successfully run for state congress.

If you haven't watched the movie Idiocracy please do. It is not fiction and we are witnessing the same progression in real time.

On the forum I read this on the first part was suggested however there was no mention of the 2nd part - and her pic explains why not....

Another stupid liberal making stupid suggestions that hopefully the sane members of that august legislature will laugh out of the house.
Complete effing idiot.
She'll be crying to her attacker/home invader "I'm on your side! Why are you doing this to me??

What is the source for the full quote? I found the proposed legislation, but I could only find the text of her comments on various forums and Free Republic.

Not that I would put anything past the human garbage in office these days, of course. Just curious. Thanks.

Sounds like something I would read on The Onion

Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection

It truly amazes me!

I just copied it from another gun forum.

No source noted.

I'm fairly certain that Neanderthals were smarter than this.

What do we expect from Austin? Not surprising at all...

Do we notice how "they" keep trotting out all the old tropes???

 

[Medic!]

Just calmly explain to the robbers that ''I aint got nuthin''.

But your rich next door neighbor dose! [ State Representative perhaps? ]
And you need their help robing her azz!




Come on people.
Be part of the solution.
