Its called deprivation of rights under color of authority. The home owners had every right under the second amendment to possess and use their firearms to protect them selves.
The prosecutor is violating those rights by prosecuting them for exorcising those rights.
Its no different than a state passing a law impeding peoples right to vote.
All I am saying is that the 2nd amendment is just as much a civil right as all the other ones. Just because the DOJ has never focused on or enforced its provisions does not mean they can't.
But if they committed a crime while doing that then the deprivation of rights defense falls apart. Bear in mind that they haven't been charged with anything yet but the expectation is they'll be charged with unlawful use of a weapon, one of offenses being "Exhibits, in the presence of one or more persons, any weapon readily capable of lethal use in an angry or threatening manner." From what video I've seen it's hard to make the self-defense case but if they are charged then we'll see.
The prosecutor is violating those rights by prosecuting them for exorcising those rights.
Not if they're charged with a crime.

| The state denied people the right to vote or the right to keep arms all the time. Just commit a felony and do time and see what happens.
FYI...Doodledawg is probably the biggest POS troll on FR.
