Set aside emotional arguments. Look at the facts: Richard Lusher is a FELON. FELONS cannot own guns. He, once again, broke the law by possessing a gun (that alone is enough for a conviction even if he was found not guilty of the additional crimes for which he is charged) . He is a sentient being who makes autonomous decisions. Blaming other people is unfair. He must take responsibility for his actions. At the end of the day, one can only blame one's self for our place in life.
