UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — He was arrested for protecting his property and family.
But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.
He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.
George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious “MS-13.” He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.

Yep, the "servants" have more rights than their employers. And even though the Supreme Court itself recently upheld the 2nd Amendment as an individual right, dirty places like NYC enforce laws that say, well, okay, you can own a firearm but you better not use it.
The fight continues. Hard to win when the cops grapple tooth and nail to prevent mere peons from defending themselves, but in the end even the cowardly police will be put in their place too.
