California lawmakers betrayed the proposal to limit the state's right to self-defense after an angry backlash from Californians.
Congressman Rick Chavez Zbur, from Santa Monica, argued that Congressional Bill 1333 was not intended to erode self-defense rights, and said the legislative proposal would be clarified.
“If you can't be safe in your own home, where can you escape?”
“This bill excludes certain circumstances in which murder can justify, including defending residence or property, among other things. The bill further clarifies situations in which murder cannot justify, including when a person uses more force than necessary to protect danger,” reads the bill.
Among the critics of the bill was Republican Rep. David Tangipa, who discussed it. Go to kmph-tv.
“If they have bats and I have guns, can I stop and have Frisk at the criminal in the middle of them?” Tangipa said.
“If that person has bats, I rarely need to allow them to attack me first. Then I need to prove that they have an intention to kill me,” he continued. That is unacceptable. And not only that, it stomps our right to amendment.
Zbur responded to the conflict Claim That the bill was not intended to erode defense rights.
“AB 1333 was not intended to limit the rights of crime victims to protect themselves, your family, or your home,” Zbur wrote on social media. “The goal is to prevent aspiring vigilantes like Kyle Rittenhouse from causing violence and claiming self-defense after the fact. We will amend the bill that clarifies this crystal.”
His claims were inconsistent with the law that ridiculed the claims and community notes cited other people online.
“Assembly member ZBUR is backtracking and claims that AB1333 is not going to do it… and that's exactly what I say is to do.” I answered Civil rights lawyer Laura Powell. “Fellow Californians, the pressure was already working! The vast majority of Dems are used to passing what they want without peeping from the public. Keep that up!”
Tangipa told KMPH that Democrats are making amendments to the proposal in response to backlash.
