So, a 2012 second degree theft conviction equals lifetime gun ban.
Anyone else believe that law needs to disappear?
Anyone else believe that law is nothing more than an effort to ban guns, or provide as many prohibited persons as the law can manufacture.
The same could be said of the law that demands the same from a misdemeanor conviction for spouse abuse, or any other idea contrary to “Shall NOT be infringed” but is in every sense of the word infringed.
I ought to know the history of said law, as I believe it will prove helpful in knowing the reasoning behind it’s passage and who in the Congress voted for it.
You can learn a great deal here: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/identify-prohibited-persons You can also study the three major laws, the 1934, 1968, and 1986 Congressional acts where most if not all of the prohibitions come from. All of them designed to chip away at Shall Not be infringed.
If I am not mistaken all of the Law against shall not be infringed is unconstitutional and should be dealt with appropriately, as in nullified and ignored until taken off the books. In addition, the amount of work dedicated by law enforcement pursuing said offenders should be looked at to determine how much effort is spent investigating little fish while the big fish enjoy their immunity just because.
Lastly, the NRA has been around for everyone of those acts designed to remove gun rights from as many people as possible. The effort continues to this day when those gun loving democrats the NRA has been giving A ratings to are now in charge of the entirety of the Federal Government.
It may have involved a firearm and he took a plea deal........we don't know.
The situation is worse than that. That law is used to justify the entire Federal Firearms License system which imposes prior restraint on the purchase of new firearms.
This in turn was used in California to justify registration of virtually all firearms as well as the restrictions on so-called “assault weapons”.
Finally, this entire scheme has now led to a requirement that background checks be required for ammunition purchases.
All of these infringements are justified by anti-gunners by their presumed ability to deny guns to people who should be in prison.
