If you still think that I'm off my rocker in insisting that the gun laws in New York aren't about gun safety or keeping the guns away from criminals, and that they're really pro- criminal to the point of criminalizing self-defense -- look up Charles Foehner.
Mr. Foehner is a 65-year-old retiree who, given the recent spike in crime in NYC, felt he needed a gun for self-defense. He was quickly proven right when he was assaulted on the street by a much younger man, and used his gun to kill his attacker.
Mr. Foehner is now facing charges. Still, what the leftist media are glossing over is what it means that he's only facing illegal weapons charges. It means that even in NYC, one of the worst cities in the country in regard to self-defense law, it was determined that Mr. Foehner was justified in using lethal force against his attacker -- if they hadn't determined that, he'd be facing murder charges.
Still, he's facing a quarter of a century in prison simply for his illegal possession of firearms. He has no prior criminal record. There's no evidence that at any time, during his 65 years on this planet, he ever hurt anybody who wasn't trying to hurt him.
Yeah, New York is trying to tell the people to let the bad guy kill you because, if you don't, the government will.
