The title says that he is a Border “soldier”. He appears to be a member of some self named militia group and therefore is not a soldier.

28 years after a burglary, he is still a convicted felon and not allowed to own a firearm. Absent other offenses, that is extreme. But soon, many other circumstances will warrant denial of firearm ownership. For example, notation of PTSD in someone’s VA health records. Certainly the war on gun owners is in high gear by the Feds.

"The title says that he is a Border “soldier”. He appears to be a member of some self named militia group and therefore is not a soldier."

Per 10 U.S. Code § 311, the militia consists of all able-bodied males between 17-64, in both organized (National Guard) and non-organized capacities.

Although he is not a soldier in the sense of the word that is typically used today, the law remains as stated above.
