No need to look for a reason, because at this point it’s historical. Like many Democrat talismans, gun control is so deeply ingrained in their platform that there is no thought given to whether it is right or constitutional, only to how to use it for maximum influence on their voter base.
The rank and file in Iran are surprisingly fond of the USA (and Israel, shockingly). They would like the Mullahs and all their henchmen taken out so they can resume their lives.
@dwa12479, you seem to have a very aggressive interpretation of the contours of NY's self defense laws and practicalities. I wish you the best of luck should you run afoul of our legal system in a defensive shooting situation.
You're 100% turned around on this. When the homeowner shot the guy then the police would search his home (with a warrant).
Had he called the police, the police would come but would have no right to enter your house or even get a warrant unless you were foolish enough to leave something illegal...
Watching a criminal skulking around your property, trying to break into your cars and your home, then stepping out the door to confront = bad shoot. It's even more true in NY than Indiana...
New York: where murder, rape, robbery, burglary are all low priorities. But try and steal toll revenue from the Queen's Treasury? That gets enforcement.
That's contorting an apologist gloss if there ever was one. Dumping 2.5 gallons of gasoline at the entrance to an office building is pretty bad stuff. That's Arson First or Second, depending on how you want to charge it.
The asshole pictured below did the exact same thing and killed 87 people...
Well that didn’t take long. The WSJ just broke a minute ago he is likely dropping out due to a sexual assault allegation from an ex-girlfriend.
ETA: He is toast
