What does the Second Amendment look like in a quiet, residential neighborhood? How does it work? More specifically, 1) who gets to bear arms, 2) what arms can they bear, and 3) who gets to shoot first? New Mexico got a raw look at these questions in the April 5 shooting of Robert Dotson in Farmington at the hands of the Farmington Police Department. The answer to these questions seems to be: anyone without a felony conviction; any weapon; and the fastest on the draw. Robert Dotson of Farmington, New Mexico, is dead.
