With laws that complex that only an elitarist clique of secret specialists can understand them (if so), but neverthless often can read this out of them, and the exact opposite on another day, with such laws I have a problem.

I also have a problem with laws that rule or imply that ignoring a problem and not acting instead of confronting it, is the way to go.

I have a problem with highly subjective, almost arbitrary statements about "appropriate force" and "reasonably balancing" of one's own means. In military combat, we do not score points and win by a sufficient margin of two points when playing 12:10. We want to win by a score "to Nil", because every point scored by the others means dead and wounded for us. Overkill firepower is a relatively safe bet to prevent that.

And finally I have a problem with these laws by own experience, for I got almost sentenced for having defended myself against an unprovoked suprising street attack by a knife-armed junkey who almost killed me - and in the first reaction sued me for having used what he called "excessive force" when I defend mysyelf and took him out, causing injuries to him - while I had his knife in my side. The next burglar attacking me I will kill, most likely, claiming self-defence afterwards without being sued by some stupid sucker. That is advise given by a sport shooting colleague of my father - his friend being a police inspector.

the Q-shipt thing has been vetoed in grmany, for it "unfairly provokes attacks by the pirates". Oh these many geniusses in parliament, they are all so clever, so noble, so wise.
