I’d like to see reduced sentences for people like this. They’d just have to agree to permanent sterilization.
In a Constitutional Republic, there should be no such a crime as “Illegal Firearm Possession!”
The crime should be the crime that was committed using a firearm!
All laws against possessing a firearm are unconstitutional!
That’s true.
So all 20 million illegals in our country should never be charged with illegally possessing a firearm?
This is why when you are a convicted felon, you should lose your civil rights such as the right to vote and the right to own a gun. There is no good reason why a convicted violent felon should be anywhere near ownership or possession of a gun. The state has an obligation to protect me from enemies foreign and domestic. Schoonover is a domestic enemy.
The story is silent as to the actual amount of time Schoonover served in Oregon state prison for the murder. I’ll be it was no more than 50% of his 15 year stretch.
The article is also silent as to whether the state of Oregon has any intention of prosecuting him for being in possession of a stolen vehicle, which the federal charges didn’t cover.
Why TF are they all receiving so little time behind bars? That’s insane. It should be at least five years minimum for an illegal firearm, add further time for drugs and previous records if they exist.
Absolutely right! Every ex-felon who did their time, no matter what his likely extensive career convictions entail, should be allowed to own a firearm following their last release from prison........./s
A Hi Point, a no name .25, and a Taurus PT111.
IMO, firearms charges are a bit of a stretch.
You have things backwards!
There shouldn’t be 20 million illegals ... in our country!
Prosecute the crime, the criminal, leave the rest of us alone!
Completely tasteless.
The “guns” or my comment?
First, there is no Right to vote, at least in a federal election.
Too, when a person has paid his penalty according to his sentencing .. he, or she should have every ‘right’ returned to them just like everyone else!
You need to read up on and understand how our constitution works!
The constitution doesn’t bestow Rights on it’s people, those are God given.
The constitution is a Restriction on government powers/control!
Neither the Congress, the States, nor Judges have the Constitutional authority to create, make-up or pass laws that “infringe” upon the 2nd amendment!
If he’s too dangerous to own a gun, then he’s too dangerous to be loose on the streets in the first place.
Nothing there that I would carry.
Meth head.
Just looking at that guy..... You just KNOW he ain’t supposed have guns.
He might was well ave FELON stamped on his forehead.
I take exception to that. I have a Hi-Point in .40 S&W, and it works great. As a club.
No. Our laws ought to be for citizens.
Illegal aliens, OTOH, should be given an immediate deportation via parachute and C-130 back to their cesspool of origin.
