Strawman. I never said you said he was being charged with using lethal force.
I am simply explaining how there are two separate laws at play in this case and that is why he still faces one charge even if exonerated of the other.
You are not a lawyer.
You show evidence of that fact frequently.
Stop trying to lecture us on the law, especially laws from other states. You are not the expert you pretend.
The case comes down to the intended victim being punished for choosing self defense over the state's cumbersome and prohibitive firearm possession laws. It's 100% 2A infringement circumstances.
He was in his own residence. The intruder was uninvited. The man defended himself and his family. The shooting was ruled justified.
To then DECIDE to charge him with a firearm infraction is nothing short of political and everyone with a brain knows this to be true.
Prosecutors have the discretion to charge or not. You seem to think they had no choice in the matter, because the law is the law.
The correct remedy would have been to confiscate the gun, since it was evidence anyway, and tell him to jump through the hoops if he gets another one.
All they did now is open him up to a wrongful death lawsuit by the CRIMINAL'S family on top of the years in prison.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, a prohibited purchaser who lied to obtain a firearm, is walking around free.
