No good deed goes unpunished.

Police also seized three legally owned rifles from Freamon's house, which he said had been burglarized before.

Legally owned! Hello! WTF? I guess they want to make sure that next time this guy doesn't stand a chance against someone coming into his home.

[rudehost]

Freamon, meanwhile, was charged with fourth-degree weapons possession for the pistol

Can anyone explain exactly what law it is in new york that makes this gun illegal?

This innocent man lives in Nassau County, a few blocks east of the border with New York City. He is now in the hands of the lawyers and the judges of that county, who are highly corrupt. He can kiss $50,000 in equity in his home good-bye to the local corrupt lawyer industry.

[Russ7]

Authorities say nobody should have a hand gun because we all have police protection available to us and therefore the self protection argument is moot.

That's the big lie. The cops function in all this would be to fill out the paperwork after the homeowner is dead, maybe his family hurt or killed and his possessions taken.

We have an inalienable right to self defense and no court can take that right away. It's time to allow honest citizens to carry and/or possess handguns.

Licenses in NY are only for rich white folks.

....bought out of state...

If it was a legal purchase in another state, how can it be illegally owned in New York?

[SevenDaysInMay]

RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED - Article II of our Bill of Rights with our 14th Amendment: either the blackrobes agree with what our Constitution clearly states, or through their own userpations thusly prove that they are willing enemies our our Constitutional government. Judicial "ruling" is a revealing term.

[wunderkind54]

Out here in the west, we have the " Make my Day " law. Homeowners have the right to use deadly force if they feel threatened while defending their homes.

Perhaps New York should reconsider its foolish law. If homeowners cannot protect themselves from intrusion, what's left?? Only bars on doors and windows??

A strange and unhappy society indeed where innocent folk are required to live behind bars.

[VermiciousKnid]

Just to keep the record straight...this gentleman (who has performed a public service by ridding us of one more thug) lives not in New York City, but in Nassau County, Long Island. Unfortunately, Nassau County and Suffolk County have almost as stupid gun laws as NYC -- the only exception I can think of is you are allowed to have unlicensed and unregistered shotguns and rifles on Long Island. In NYC, all guns must be registered.

He should have known a 45 Caliber semi auto would have been more effective in his protecting his home.
When a person cannot protect himself from an intruder breaking into his home, something is seriously wrong with our laws.
Should he have waited until the intruder shot first???

[RISU]

So, we are "free", are we? So we have the right to self-defense do we? So, the government is on the side of the property owner is it?

[G Larry]

How and why did they know the other 3 firearms were present?

He should never have told the cops those firearms existed.
They didn't have a warrent.
Did they need one?
Did the registration of the other firearms result in their confiscation?

[Redbob]

A case could be made that Freamon is a d*mn fool for calling 911 in the first place - he'd already dealt with the situation, and probably thoroughly deterred the burglar.

Now, though, the burglar knows he's unarmed!

[PatrioticAmerican]

This is sad, just sad. The means for self-defense is outlawd in many places in America, and the use of a firearm in self-defense will most likely result in person's arrest.

[Southack]

Freamon is living proof that the Democratic Party's fascination with "gun control" discriminates against law-abiding Blacks.

Protect your home and family in a Democratic Party "gun control" zone and then you go to jail for your "crime".

NEWSFLASH To the Democratic Party: the average Black family man does NOT live in crime-free gated communities, no, the average Black family man lives in areas where it makes the MOST sense to be armed for your own defense.

Yet another issue on which the Democratic Party's view is counter to the best interests of minorities...
