And that firmly puts you in the realm of murder as you are not under imminent threat.
LOL!
Short on coffee today? Most folks would have understood that the comment was referring to the fact that a .357 with a 6" barrel can be accurate and powerful enough to be effective at 100 yards - how you tied that to a murderous impulse is a mystery.
Exactly.
Absolutely
This still leaves a nebulous problem, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but while this was a state decision that then put him on the federal NICS, it was a state decision that removed him.
My point is that had it been a federal decision to put him on the NICS, such as with a federal felony conviction, is it still true that there is no mechanism at the federal level to restore his gun rights?
My Ruger .44 magnum with a 9.5” barrel is what I like to carry when fishing in Grizzly country.
Size Is Always an Issue with some.
“...you are not under imminent threat.”
Unless you are being targeted by somebody with an M-14.
Why the hell did a stroke take away his God given rights?
WTF?????
“My point is that had it been a federal decision to put him on the NICS, such as with a federal felony conviction, is it still true that there is no mechanism at the federal level to restore his gun rights?”
I believe that you are correct.
To point out the obvious then, it seems this would be a great way for a federal level politician to get pro-gun recognition. An Act that would “create a mechanism” by which those denied guns at the federal level (especially veterans, by VA bureaucrats), could have their rights restored. (And some pro-gun recognition, right before a close election, might make all the difference in the world.)
By itself, it would not restore rights, just make restoration by a judge possible. Only gun controllers are in favor of perpetual loss of gun rights when there is no logical reason to do so.
