Do you need a background check to buy a .22 in Texas?
I had a conviction when I was a juvenile but it has never stopped me from purchasing a weapon. I even went into the Corps with this conviction.
The lesson? Never plead guilty to ANYTHING. Make them prosecute you, wasting their time and money.
And never, ever talk to any “mental health professional”, even at a cocktail party!
Since when does a misdemeanor conviction affect 2nd Amendment or voting rights? Since when has it been a FedMob law? I thought those circumstances were covered by state laws. In fact I think he should have appealed to his state for a return of his rights.
Ok he was denied over a 42 year old conviction because of weed. Then shouldn’t that apply to ODumbo for cocaine use in his college years too - disqualified to be President?
something smells in this article. My friend was quite the hell raiser in his youth. I know for a fact he had been convicted a few times for possession. I took him out last month and he bought a mosin-nagant and passed his background check.
(Catch 22)
Yet using cocaine qualifies O to shoot missiles.
It’s 1966 or 1967. My Big Brother has just returned from Viet Nam. 101st Air Cav, 82nd Airborne. Purple Heart, received for injuries in the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley.
I’m like 14 or 15, and I tell him that I have been honing my Sharpshooting skills with a BB gun. But, I’m out of BB’s.
We hoof it down to Sears on Rte 3A in Woburn, MA, to buy some BB’s. My brother is wearing his uniform - with Jump Boots, numerous combat ribbons and Sharpshooter pins. He was home on leave and didn’t bring many articles of clothing.
At Sears, they wouldn’t sell either of us BB’s, because my Big Brother, was not yet 21.
It all depends on where you live, I guess, and the gun\anti gun culture that exists.
Here in SC, if my brother had attempted this, he would have gotten all the ammo he needed.
Plus, a steak dinner...
Pretty soon the Justice Department will try disqualifying citizens for a traffic ticket.
Currently, according to tbe FBI, medical marijuana use disqualifies gun purchases. Is he still considered an illegal drug user because of the old conviction?
This poor citizen is in need of some pro bono citizen heavy duty support. We are 3/4 of the way down that slippery slope, if this is allowed to stand.
What's next? A single isolated DUI while a teenager?
This affects pretty much 95% of the American citizenry, and is clearly an arbitrary and capricious policy. This regime seems to be really a runaway with stupid moves.
The reasonable man, if he still exists, would conclude the prohibition being applied refers to both convictions and felonies. And even these must be subject to the statute of limitations.
Did Sandy Burglar ever serve time for stealing national documents? Was he even charged and convicted?
Does he own a gun? ?
EFF this crap
