Are gun control laws immoral?

Not just yes, but HELL YES! Take this story from Fox News

An 80-year-old Chicago man shot and killed an armed man who broke into his two-story house in a pre-dawn home invasion Wednesday on the city’s West Side.

At about 5:20 a.m., the homeowner and his wife, also in her 80s, discovered the intruder entering their home through a back door. The homeowner, who had a gun, confronted and killed the burglar on the doorstep, police said. Cops said the intruder also fired his gun during the struggle.

“It’s a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead,” said Curtis Thompson, who lives next door to the couple, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Well that seems simple enough right? An armed bad guy is killed by a man defending himself and his wife, case closed right? Ah, not quite, this went down in Chicago, which has draconian Stalinistic gun laws, and frowns upon things like self-defense.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner, but Chicago currently has a statute outlawing the possession of handguns. Its legality is currently being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A high-profile Chicago attorney has already stepped forward offering to represent the man pro bono if he faces charges for possessing a weapon.

“Self-defense isn’t just a right, it’s a duty,” said attorney Joel Brodsky. “If this man is prosecuted for saving his own life it’s not just a travesty, it’s justice turned inside out.”

Oh, so, this man could actually face charges? For what, defending his life? For protecting his  home? Now, I do not know about you, but any law that criminalizes the most basic human right, that of self-defense, is not only immoral, it is also EVIL!
