Comments about ‘Court upholds gunman's conviction’

Another in a long train of abuses! I would bet my next paycheck that the judge who rendered this foolish decision had a gun under her robe.

I can perhaps understand disarming a man who had a felony conviction relating to a violent act. But I can NOT understand a conviction for pot being used as grounds to deny a man the right to defend his own life in his own home!

THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA!!!!!

Felons are barred from possessing a gun, but there may be other weapons a felon, who has served their time and is not on any probation, might be able to use in the defense of his/her life.
Polearm, Knife, Sword, Pipe, or many other types of instruments which can be used to stop or mortally wound an attacker. The question is are felons allowed to use ANY weapon in his/her defense against an attacker?
