They spent a lot of time on the issue of the militia, and arcane legal technicalities. Not a lot on the right of personal defense. There were hopeful elements, but who knows? Read it yourself and you be the judge.; 7:07 PM

Compare that with the news story about the woman who shot her stalker while on the phone to 911.; 4:32 PM
