Nada was referring to an American's Constitutional right of armed self-defense.

This is the Irish version.

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

Personal Rights

Article 40

1.    All citizens shall, as human persons, be held equal
before the law.

This shall not be held to mean that the State shall not in its
enactments have due regard to differences of capacity, physical and moral, and
of social function.

2.    1° Titles of nobility shall not be conferred by the
State.

2° No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen
except with the prior approval of the Government.

3.    1° The State guarantees in its laws to respect,
and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate the personal
rights of the citizen.

2° The State shall, in particular, by its laws protect as best it may
from unjust attack and, in the case of injustice done, vindicate the life,
person, good name, and property rights of every citizen.

3° The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with
due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to
respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that
right.

This subsection shall not limit freedom to travel between the State
and another state.

This subsection shall not limit freedom to obtain or make available,
in the State, subject to such conditions as may be laid down by law,
information relating to services lawfully available in another state.

4.    1° No citizen shall be deprived of his personal
liberty save in accordance with law.

2° Upon complaint being made by or on behalf of any person to the High Court or
any judge thereof alleging that such person is being unlawfully detained, the
High Court and any and every judge thereof to whom such complaint is made shall
forthwith enquire into the said complaint and may order the person in whose
custody such person is detained to produce the body of such person before the
High Court on a named day and to certify in writing the grounds of his
detention, and the High Court shall, upon the body of such person being
produced before that Court and after giving the person in whose custody he is
detained an opportunity of justifying the detention, order the release of such
person from such detention unless satisfied that he is being detained in
accordance with the law.

3° Where the body of a person alleged to be unlawfully detained is
produced before the High Court in pursuance of an order in that behalf made
under this section and that Court is satisfied that such person is being
detained in accordance with a law but that such law is invalid having regard to
the provisions of this Constitution, the High Court shall refer the question of
the validity of such law to the Supreme Court by way of case stated and may, at
the time of such reference or at any time thereafter, allow the said person to
be at liberty on such bail and subject to such conditions as the High Court
shall fix until the Supreme Court has determined the question so referred to
it.

4° The High Court before which the body of a person alleged to be
unlawfully detained is to be produced in pursuance of an order in that behalf
made under this section shall, if the President of the High Court or, if he is
not available, the senior judge of that Court who is available so directs in
respect of any particular case, consist of three judges and shall, in every
other case, consist of one judge only.

5° Nothing in this section, however, shall be invoked to prohibit,
control, or interfere with any act of the Defence Forces during the existence
of a state of war or armed rebellion.

6° Provision may be made by law for the refusal of bail by a court to a person
charged with a serious offence where it is reasonably considered necessary to
prevent the commission of a serious offence by that person.

5.    The dwelling of every citizen is inviolable and
shall not be forcibly entered save in accordance with law.

6.    1° The State guarantees liberty for the exercise of
the following rights, subject to public order and morality:

                              
i.           
The right of the
citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions.

The education of public opinion being, however, a matter of such grave
import to the common good, the State shall endeavour to ensure that organs of
public opinion, such as the radio, the press, the cinema, while preserving
their rightful liberty of expression, including criticism of Government policy,
shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the
State.

The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent
matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.

                           
ii.           
The right of the
citizens to assemble peaceably and without arms.

Provision may be made by law to prevent or control meetings which are
determined in accordance with law to be calculated to cause a breach of the
peace or to be a danger or nuisance to the general public and to prevent or
control meetings in the vicinity of either House of the Oireachtas.

                         
iii.           
The right of the
citizens to form associations and unions.

Laws, however, may be enacted for the regulation and control in the public
interest of the exercise of the foregoing right.

2° Laws regulating the manner in which the right of forming
associations and unions and the right of free assembly may be exercised shall
contain no political, religious or class discrimination.

So the "State" defends your personal rights. That is the opposite of our Consitution. (and what nadadhimmi was talking about) I like all the provisions for the unborn.

That high-pitched scream you hear is the troll under my heel. 

Whistles are way more efficient against criminals!

That and lots of appologies and rehabilitation fight crime very well.

"stop, or......I'll say stop again!"
