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.

        No, you did not say that. You said, "The National Guard and Reserves are simply reserve forces..."
