[Loyal Sedition]

The judge is either a liar or ignorant.

Neither makes him look good.

This guy was not a violent felon, he’s a paper abusing felon, similar to the guy who writes bad cheques.
No rational reason beyond vindictive spite to not allow him arms in his old age.
He’s supposed to have “paid his debt” and be “rehabilitated” now.

I suppose that once EVERYONE has been found guilty of some felony the second amendment will be moot, once playground antics are felonies no one will escape losing their rights.
No more voting either, Komrad!

“This guy was not a violent felon, he’s a paper abusing felon, similar to the guy who writes bad cheques.”

This guy stole 2.4 million dollars and is an American Tax Payer Abusing Felon and the money he stole belonged to us.

Not at all like writing bad checks.

The way this usually works is that at some point before the full sentence is served, a felon is offered a parole deal which includes limits to his rights. Voting rights and second amendment rights are typically bargained away for early release. I have no idea why they pick on these rights but the deal is usually taken.

That is EXACTLY the danger!

1. First, legislate so that conviction of a crime removes your rights for life.

2. Second, legislate so that every action this side of breathing is illegal.

3. Third, apply the laws selectively to your political, social, and personal enemies.

4. Fourth, Totalitarian Paridise!!

Anyone who says "It can't happen here" is a damn fool.
