The next Federal Pro Gun Law? Felons that should not be prohibited.
A handgun may have saved Harold Williams’ life, but it could also send him to prison.
“I feel justified,” Williams said. “If I had it to do over again, I would do it the same way”.
Williams, who is a convicted felon, is now charged with possessing a firearm. He said he used it against a couple of armed robbers who stormed in through the front door of his home last week and kicked open the bedroom door.
“They kicked in my bedroom door,” said Williams. “One took a low stance. One took a high stance. Both were armed and wearing masks. I grabbed the gun and did what I can do.”
…Williams says his felony charge was for possessing stolen property in 1989.

I touched on this before and will continue to do so. Specially with the decriminalization of pot, it feels dumb that non-violent felons should be subjected to such a harsh refusal of rights. If you commuted a non-violent felony, served your time and have been a good member of society, we cannot in good conscience support that he remains unarmed. Restore his/her rights.
