Here in Virginia, there are two ways you can be declared legally insane for the purpose of a NGBRI plea. First, if you did not know what you were doing, as for example a guy carves up his boss but does it because he thought he as carving a turkey (a Thanksgiing turkey; I know a lot of us have idiot bosses but "turkey" in the street sense won't fly and I know, more's the pity)
The other definition of legal insanity is the inability to distinguish right from wrong. I just heard a song from the turbulent late 60s that had the lyric:
"I'm not talking 'bout 'Party ideology'; I'm talking 'bout RIGHT AND WRONG! Do you know the difference?"
A few years ago I posed the question to a bunch of people I knew: (A) do you know the difference between right and wrong? (YES) (B) Okay. Then define it.
Since you have to be sane to own a firearm in this country, I hope everybody here can answer Part A. But canyou answer Part B (in 25 words or less)?
