26 felonies. They're charging him with 26 felonies, each of which has a mandatory minimum of 3.5 years in prison.
Why?
Because an otherwise upstanding, peaceable citizen with a license for 5 rifles...didn't have a license for his other guns.

If he has a NYC permit for 5 rifles, he's an upstanding citizen *according the city itself*.
The process for obtaining a rifle permit is virtually identical to the one for a pistol permit, except that the latter is twice as expensive and requires an in-person interview.

But both require extensive background checks, fingerprinting, notarized character references, and signed affidavits from any "adult co-habitants." They have to be renewed every three years, to the tune of hundreds of dollars in non-refundable fees.
He has "assault weapons," "high capacity magazines," and body armor which he likely legally purchased prior to NY's respective bans and just never got rid of...probably because those are thousands of dollars in personal property.
We've been told over and over again that no one wants to punish peaceable citizens for merely possessing firearms and defending themselves. We've been called crazy every time for saying that's a lie and we all know it.
But here we are.
But here we are.
If the mugger had lived, he'd be facing infinitely less time in prison than the peaceable citizen who had the *audacity* to defend himself in public without begging the government's permission and schlepping it countless hundreds of dollars.
What dystopian hell is this?
