Why?Actually it does matter if he is a criminal and a member of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
If he was not engaged in criminal activity at the time of the crime why should he not be allowed to defend himself just as any other law abiding person
Source?First of all - I do not think any criminals are allowed to posses firearms.
Was he a convicted felon was he engaged in criminal activity at the time?
If not what is the prohibition on alleged criminals owning guns
I missed that in the articles.Second of all - how would you like it - if a criminal "defending" himself from other criminals shooting indiscriminately shoots up your house and injures your SO, dogs and kid?
But what if the preacher next door defends his home by shooting indiscriminately and hits something he didn't want to
That gonna make you feel any better?
But regardless being a criminal does not take away your right to life and self defense, until the state says it does
How I, or you, feel about it has nothing to do with nothing
