Top 10 Victims of Stupid Gun Laws
9. Marissa Alexander
Nine days after giving birth, Marissa Alexander fired a warning shot into the air to fend off her abusive husband who had a court injunction against him for beating Alexander while she was pregnant. She faced up to 60 years in prison for firing that warning shot. I forgot to mention, this happened in Florida of all places. I didn’t even think they had any gun laws down there. She was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years behind bars. Alexander spent three years in prison before overturning the conviction on appeal. She plead guilty to charges of assault in order to avoid a new trial and remains a convicted felon.
