Then Young became a suspect in burglaries at storage facilities and vehicles in the area, and the police searched his home and found the forgotten shotgun shells as well as some stolen goods. The United States attorney in Chattanooga prosecuted Young under a federal law that bars ex-felons from possessing guns or ammunition. In this case, under the Armed Career Criminal Act, that meant a 15-year minimum sentence.

Oh, you will...?

As we've said before... a few problems with that. First, almost anything and everything is a "felony" these days, and more are being invented every day.
Second, the criminal thugs that infest the mean streets of Chicago, Detroit, etc. are very often in police uniform of one kind or another. Until those ranks are purged of violent aggressors, the non aggressors among the citizens will have little or no chance for peace or safety. And, of course, the more the uniformed thugs are augmented to go after free lance criminals of any kind, the worse things will become.
The ideal outcome of any violent attack is the death or serious injury of the aggressor at the hands of his/her intended victim. That would clean up the streets quickly, and leave the vast system of prisons pretty much empty.
