As a once-kid who used to take shortcuts across open ranch land, this bill would give land owners a license to kill:

The bill comes as an Arizona rancher awaits trial after he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault for killing 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Butimea after he shot at a group of unarmed migrants walking through his 170-acre ranch outside of Nogales. Under its provisions, 73-year-old George Alan Kelly would have been justified for allegedly killing any of the migrants.

    Historically speaking, most governments have encouraged it in specific scenarios.

    Basically, as long as it’s a minority of some sort most governments have thought this will keep the majority less likely to revolt.

    That’s how messed up we are :)
