Oppose AB-1333: Protect Self-Defense Rights

Subject: Oppose AB-1333: Protect Justifiable Homicide Rights and Self-Defense Protections

My name is [Full Name], and I am writing as a concerned constituent to express my opposition to AB-1333. This bill proposes changes that could significantly undermine individuals' rights to defend themselves and their property. AB-1333 seeks to eliminate the justification of homicide in defense of habitation or property. This change restricts legal protections for individuals defending their homes from violent intrusions, potentially leaving them vulnerable. The bill also emphasizes that using more force than necessary is not justifiable, complicating self-defense claims. This could lead to increased legal challenges for those acting in self-defense, as they must now prove their response was proportionate to the threat. The proposed amendments in AB-1333 alter the legal landscape for justifiable homicide, particularly in scenarios involving defense of habitation and the proportionality of force used. These changes could be perceived as overly restrictive, potentially undermining individuals' ability to defend themselves and their property effectively. I urge you to reconsider the implications of this bill and oppose AB-1333 to protect the rights of individuals to defend themselves and their homes. Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical issue. Sincerely,
