Reply to comment by degggendorf in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

So the guy would have been defenseless against an armed group of vigilantes at best trying to throw him out into the street in winter.

I guess it wasn't clear...I also think that laws regarding evictions, threatening with a deadly weapon, etc. ought to be enforced too.

The problem is that enforcement of gun laws by both practice and design exists to enable vigilantes and punish "undesirables" who are often the people who actually need guns to defend themselves like this man.

Like why aren't any of the vigilantes being charged but the one guy who fought for his life is?

Well, because one is dead and the others are being pursued as we speak. I hope they're found and charged too, for sure.

Oh, i see, so the evections should be enforced by guys with guns. Against people who no longer have guns. Seems like the guns are kinda important and everybody should have them
