This is called a diversion. People tend to do it when they know they are losing. Here is a thought, stay on point.
The man who shot up those people did it illegally. I thank him for protecting his workers, but he did it illegally. He should be prosecuted. If they determine he is to get a slap on the wrist, so be it.
Gun laws are there for a reason, not for convenience when you think the shooter is justified.
Selective law enforcement is wrong. Agree?
No, because the law he broke is unjust in the first place. Had he not broken the law he would have at least been robbed, probably assaulted, and maybe dead. Any law that makes it illegal to defend yourself, your property, and other innocent people is unjust and needs to go immediately.
Personally, I don't believe there should be any restrictions on the right to bear arms. However, according to the Constitution, the individual states have the authority to place restrictions on the said right as they see fit.
If the restriction was passed without the ability of the employers to have a say, I would agree with you that said law is unjust. That isn't the case though.
That would be the argument between common law and natural law. Do we have to accept a law just because the government has the right to enact it if it violates our natural rights? I say any law, regardless of whether the government has the right to enact it or not, that violates the natural law is unjust.
