Several very interesting legal issues are framed by this post below: Whether the legal prohibition against felons possessing firearms applies where the black felon's own life is at imminent risk of termination by an outraged white police officer whom he has just beat up, and whose gun he has taken and fled with from fear? Is not the 2nd Amendment's right to bear arms, the 13th Amendment's abolition of slavery and the 14th Amendment's equal treatment under law all thereby implicated/offended?
Do felons have a right to life, and to protect their lives from abuses of vengeful state power? Or must they humbly submit to their own homicide?
