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And that is what distinguishes them from privileges, which may be granted, withheld or withdrawn.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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
