Ummm, Torah is Bible and is indeed the basis of most of our Western laws. IIRC, isn't there something called the Ten Commandments that has something to do with the basis for law? More specifically Exodus 20:13 - You shall not murder.

Torah is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. What many call Bible, I call sequel.

There are too many 2A supporters who seem to trivialize the other parts of the BoR or other amendments. How can you support 2A but not 5A or 6A? (How many of you reading this hold 1A and 2A near and dear, yet now have to look up 5A and 6A?) What about 21st amendment to the constitution, if that goes against your personal beliefs or religion should we deny others?

Now to save you from looking it up:
Fifth Amendment: Due Process...nor shall any person...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...
Sixth Amendment: Speedy and Public Trial...In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial...

In this particular news story, the shooter is every bit the murderer that he believed his victim to be. Ironically, many who feel sympathy toward this murderer also have limited respect or understanding of our 1st amendment.

And regarding challenges to the 21st amendment, they can take my cold beer when they pry my still warm dead fingers off the bottle.
