You are not crazy. If a person is too dangerous to legally own the means to defend himself, why is he released? If he intends to commit crimes he can always get a gun anyway. Or use a knife, baseball bat, fists, etc.
“he can always get a gun anyway. Or use a knife, baseball bat, fists, etc.”
Or in this case a BB gun. Now there is a slow death. A Red Ryder can hold 650 bbs.
