A tenant living in government-subsidized housing in Rockland is in the middle of a lawsuit with his landlord over his Second Amendment rights.
He and his neighbors say they have the right to own a gun, but building owners say otherwise.
The Park Place Apartments in Rockland have been the center of controversy over the last year.
After Harvey Lembo, a wheelchair-bound tenant, shot an intruder last summer he was told to give up his gun; that it was against apartment policy.
But since that night, neighbors say they’d feel safer with a weapon.

More cluelessness.
One's landlord, neighbors or community members have no right to deny, diminish or restrict others' exercise of fundamental unalienable rights.
That's what fundamental rights are - unalienable.
And that is what distinguishes them from privileges, which may be granted, withheld or withdrawn. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
