Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Unreal, Canadian being fully prosecuted, for using a home invader's gun against him... [View all]
My resolve to resist silly, pointless gun control just grew a bit more.
The two in the home seized a firearm from one of the suspects and several shots were fired as the suspects fled. Police later located one of the suspects, who had non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Munroe faces charges of attempted murder, intent to discharge a firearm, intent to discharge a firearm when being reckless, careless use of a firearm, improper storage of a firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing that possession is unauthorized, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

When you enforce laws in this harsh way, respect for the law goes out the window.
