Irish homeowners can now legally use guns to defend themselves

if their homes are attacked under new legislation.

The new home defense bill has moved the balance of rights back to the house owner if his home is broken into "where it should always have been", say top Irish police.

The police association of superintendents and inspectors, the AGSI, stated that “the current situation, which legally demands a house owner retreat from an intruder, was intolerable"
.
A very fine thing to hear. There are problems, of course:
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties however, stated it would inspect the bill to establish that it was "human-rights compliant".
Which makes me wonder, where were these bozos when the human right of self-defense was being castrated?
Oh, that's right; they don't think that one counts.
