    "Generally, an intention to cause great bodily harm is considered indistinguishable from an intention to kill, as is an act so inherently dangerous that any reasonable person would realize the likelihood of fatality."

    Any type of fighting as an adult could so easily result in serious bodily harm or death - we aren't action hero's, people die from falling in the bathtub. Anyone recklessly engaging in an an assault, past the point of consciousness, could be tried for murder (of first or second degree), especially if they were the initial aggressor and/or threats were made. If they were the initial defender, they could get off if their life was in danger, but if that cannot be substantiated (maybe the squabble started as a slap fest and ended as a ground and point to the death) they could go down for manslaughter.

    This is why I believe in carrying a gun. I am a little guy with health issues and if a big guy starts attempting to assault me, technology could allow me to overcome his power in order to protect myself from serious bodily harm or death. There is no such thing as a fist fight in adulthood. Obviously this means that I am as timid as can be and look to de-escalate even embarrassing assaults on my character and manliness in order to avoid potentially deadly conflict.

    If you are the kind of guy who, armed with a gun, would go after people for the volume of their stereo or because they didn't hold the door, you are an insane person and you should realize that you are no longer in grade school. Healthy firearm carry requires timidity And de-escalation of all conflict even if embarrassing.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
