Between all that has gone on in this and the health care threads, I'd imagine people would be more careful about posting stuff without double checking it.

Clearly you don't understand what it takes to get an "A" from the NRA. It's absolutely as political as any other form of politics and does not necessarily apply to people who are categorically "pro-gun." But that really isn't my point.
Paine wrote about people having to live under the laws that they wrote - one of the reasons congressional term limits are so important in keeping politicians in check.
The "castle doctrine" establishes a person's duty to retreat in self defense situations. The only reason he was charged is because NC's castle doctrine does not extend to outside of a person's home (their yard). If he's been a legislator for 40 years, he undoubtedly had a hand in establishing the castle doctrine of NC. In short, you are over-reacting to my original statement.
