Canada allows nonviolent felons to obtain a firearms license. No constitutional right however much more narrow in their prohibitions.
My case is a bit more serious and extensive than Bryan Range's but nonviolent and decades in the past. Two years probation for receiving stolen property in Bucks County Pennsylvania in 1985; in 1987 the county probation officer advised me I could own guns now that my sentence was ending. This was an era before the Internet and NICS checks and states were only aware of and concerned with their own laws pertaining to firearms ownership. Since I wasn't convicted of a crime of violence I wasn't in any violation on the state level. Two years later one of the gun shops ended up under investigation and the 4473s were reviewed for compliance (they were still on the honor system then). As a result I was arrested by ATF and convicted in federal court in 1991 for violating the Gun Control Act 18 USC 922(g), which still applied regardless of existing state law. Now more than 30 years later I'm hoping I can get my firearms rights back. Hanna Hill from NAGR referred me to The Firearms Firm in early 2021 but David over there said I didn't stand a chance. Hopefully Bruen will change this.
A cop said I punched him in the face, is that a violent crime? I smacked his arm when he grabbed me.
Braydon: I believe in the second amendment, BUT…
So people with misdomeners are still screwed??? I know I spelled it wrong.
$498.12 ???
In California, under Proposition 47, shoplifters can steal up to $950 of merchandise, per offense. If the offender is apprehended they are given a citation with a notice to appear, and then released. The are not arrested, booked or placed in jail.
So, theoretically, a shoplifter could steal $950 of merchandise, on multiple occasions throughout their waking hours. Once an hour, for eight hours, would be $7,600. Multiplied by a five day work week, $38,000 of merchandise.
If that person is caught, each offense is a misdemeanor. So, they would still be allowed to purchase a firearm in California.
Whats even more upsetting, is that >>non violent, FEDERAL offenders<< no matter how long ago the crime was committed, are even worse off. There is absolutely zero means for FEDERAL non violent felons to restore their 2A rights, unless they receive a Presidential Pardon which is pretty much impossible.
As per WWW dot Justice dot Gov
"With respect to Federal felony convictions, the Supreme Court declared in Beecham v. United States, 511 U.S. 368 (1994), that only Federal law can nullify the effect of the conviction through expungement, pardon, or restoration of civil rights. This is so, the Court ruled, even though there is no Federal procedure for restoring the civil rights of Federal felons."
Additionally, there used to be a way for non violent FEDERAL offenders to petition the ATF to restore 2A rights, however the D's voted to de-fund that department in 1992.
As per WWW dot ATF dot gov
"Although federal law provides a means for the relief of firearms disabilities, ATF’s annual appropriation since October 1992 has prohibited the expending of any funds to investigate or act upon applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals. As long as this provision is included in current ATF appropriations, ATF cannot act upon applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities submitted by individuals. [18 U.S.C. 925(c); 27 CFR 478.144] "
So basically, if a non violent FEDERAL felon is convicted of a FEDERAL financial crime or any FEDERAL non violent crime, regardless of the dollar amount or how long ago it was or how much the person has turned their life around, there is no means to restore their rights.
Non violent felons should not be saddled with this. A felon that has paid their debt to society should have full rights restored.
What about misdemeanor domestic violence?
@Langley outdoors would this restore rights for NONVIOLENT Felons for child support ?
And if the Supreme Court agrees that nonviolent felons should have gun rights restored. Do all stayes have to recognize this ?
I have nonviolent felon child support in Kentucky. 20+ years ago. That since then i had paid in full did my time and parole with no problems and i had completed expungement on both cases. I should get my gun rights restored
When is scotus going to rule on this case ???
Gun rights should not be taken from anyone. If your felony is so violent that they want to take your firearms, then they should lock you up and never let you out. Simple
I dont think non violent crimes should be felonies. So yes i think non violent felons should have gun rights.
And things are rarely black and white. I think thats half our problem in the US, too many view issues in black and white. It rarely ever is that simple.
Define "violent felony".
My question to you did they disarm John Wesley Hardin when he got out of prison
In jail, a person is not an equal citizen, limited rights. Once a person is released from jail, all their rights should be restored. They paid their debt to society by doing their time.
I'm as close to a 2A absolutist as you can get without being a "no limits" absolutist. Used to be that a felon when released from supervision, received a horse (I'm sure just short of the glue factory, $5 and a sidearm. If you're too dangerous to bear arms, keep them in jail. If not, they have a right to be able to protect themselves IMHO.
In either case, non cartridge replicas of, actual and even cartridge weapons manufactured prior to 1895 (IIRC) are not firearms according to the ATF. Consult competent legal aid prior to acting on that of course.
Guns, apparently being so easy to acquire that even the unborn baby you aborted can do it. And criminals being too dangerous, to be in possession of said firearms. Seems like you would wanna keep dangerous felons in prison where they couldn’t acquire all these guns from all these aborted babies.
Give her her firearms
No
I can't say I even agree that trying to pass a bad check be a FELONY!
I can see the point, but this becomes very subjective. And this plaintiff has demonstrated questionable judgement by promoting a syringe exchange service which tends to encourage illegal drug use. Yes, this was a very minor felony even 15 years ago. But I still lean toward keeping it illegal for any convicted felon to posses firearms as just part of the penalty for committing a felony.
I pray the Supreme Court begins to rule more aggressively rule to protect our constitutional rights and finally pushing back on the Evil democrats and corrupt republicans and allow for more prosecutions against those who violate or try to violate our constitutional rights!!!
If she changed her ways,, I’m good with it
if you have served your time and paid your fines your rights should be fully reinstated.
To the best of my knowledge there is no history of disarming people for what amounts to a “money-crime” conviction after they were released from “debtors prison” in 1791 and the immediately surrounding time period. If that is this woman’s only “crime” on record, then there is no justification for preventing her from being able to be armed. Only my thoughts
She needs a firearm
The only felony that mattered in 1791 was TREASON
2ALIFE
think of the tens of thousands of non violent drug users that have lost their rights forever.
As long as the conviction is not for violence or a sexual crime, they should absolutely get their rights back after time served.
She should get her gun back
The second Ammendment was directly put in constitution to tell its own government to not infringe the rights of American citizens! The words Shall not infringe directly anything else is subservience! Obey Scotus!
WOW how things have changed!! Now you can bust a store window and steal $99.99 worth of stuff and get away scot free !!! I'm also curious if this would include non violent illegal aliens ? Asking for a friend?
Let's face it the govts been stealing money from people for a long time.
The "felony" was much different at the signing of the constitution…
Well if all else fails, claim your an illegal alien. They're being made peace officers in Illinois and California.
Where is the precedent for ANY of these ridiculous gun control laws as other than murder (where the convicted person was probably hung and couldn't get a gun anyway) i don't remember learning anything about restricting ones Right to Bear Arms until the 1930s under FDR (a Democrat of course)
