I donβt think a federal negligence claim would do. I think thereβd be all kinds of immunities and defenses.
Iβd like to see a state law tort claim - let them prove some legitimate federal defense. But you have to find the individual first.

Right? Iβd love to see that.
One difficulty is not knowing who the individuals are. And if youβre filing a state court claim against John Does, you canβt subpoena the feds to tell you.
Weβre getting paid this time? Awesome!

But the crime charged was victimless and technical.
Yes, Trump is a criminal. But you canβt credibly deny that the NY/GA prosecutions were politically motivated.
To be clear, if the question is βwhoβs worse, Trump or Biden/James/Willis/Garland,β the answer is Trump.

But cmon. James is a Dem politician. She won her office by promising the majority-Dem electorate that sheβd prosecute the leader of the opposition party. That doesnβt happen all the time.
It was still lawfare. James ran for office promising to prosecute Trump. She was just good at it.

1. By definition, doesnβt an indictment mean thereβs probable cause to believe the person committed a crime?
2. Jamesβs prosecution of Trump was clearly politically motivated.
3. How can we know if James committed crimes before now?
Youβre absolutely right.
Iβm curious, though - were you saying this when James targeted Trump for criminal prosecution?
You have to represent Utah.

My overall point is that any anti-tyranny benefit from widespread gun ownership is minimal at best and is far outweighed by the destruction guns cause.
To me, the cost of that particular freedom is too high.
Fair.
