I thought that sounded fishy, and I can find no such requirement in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures, nor so far in any other Code. Is there any actual statutory/legal precedent/or other actual rule that says this? All I have found so far is that if the DA wants to prosecute a felony, he has to take it to a grand jury and get an indictment (unlike misdemeanors where he can issue an information and prosecute on his own authority).

Any idea where this notion comes from?

That's not true. Most homicides are presented to a grand jury, but it's not required. When it's a self-defense case, it's to the benefit of the intended victim to get a "no bill."

Michael Bloomberg wants you to believe that gun control is about saving lives, but when a civilian uses his gun to save over 200 people's lives, he doesn’t talk about the lives saved, nor does he congratulate the person who saved those lives.

Instead, he talks about how those people shouldn’t have had those guns because the only people responsible enough to make a decision about saving your life are the cops.

So essentially, our control over those 200 plus lives is more important than your ability to save those same lives. So to Bloomberg, if you use your gun to save lives, he doesn’t care because you’re not a cop.
