The guy is a convicted felon. I thought we wanted honest citizens to be able to own guns for self defense but that guns should be kept out of the hands of crazy people and convicted felons. Has that changed?

----------------------

It has not changed, and shouldn't be changed. Law regarding that area should be enforced --but strictly under that rationale. The statement of violation should be strictly linited to that rather than being a statement of metaphorical poetry that has no place on the bench or any other part of the courtroom. If no concrete physically violent act was committed, a person should not be judged guilty of that act through application of metaphor or other vagueness of language, regardless of whether or not he broke some other law.
