Convicted ex-New Orleans mayor has done his time. Now, can he get the right to carry a gun?

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who was convicted on federal bribery, money laundering and other corruption charges in 2014, has completed his 10-year sentence and is asking a federal judge to restore his rights to carry a gun and vote.
But prosecutors said Thursday that the New Orleans-based judge has no authority to restore Nagin‘s federal firearms rights, and that it’s up to the state of Texas, where he now lives, to decide on his voting privileges.
Nagin, 67, recently filed a court motion in New Orleans, noting that his federal prison time and supervision were officially over on March 15. Filing without an attorney, he is concerned about his family’s safety “with our country experiencing so much violence.”

The audacity of Nagin asking that his firearms rights be restored is an insult. This is the same Rat-bastard who had his NOPD police goons go door to door confiscating normal people's guns in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Nagin rendered them defenseless against the mobs of sub-human hoards that roamed through New Orleans at will. Now Nagin is concerned about
his family's safety?
Let's hope The State of Texas bitch-slaps Nagin's request. Nagin needs to live through through the fear of being unarmed in the face of violent thugs just like he made everyone else do after Katrina.

Thanks for the comment. When you’re a government TOTALITARIAN it’s one thing. When you’re now a lowly citizen...

Anyone who cannot be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.

Better to use his case to advance the restoration of Second Amendment rights.
It would be a partial restitution for the damage he has done.

While I understand what T_J is saying, I agree with school bus that having served his time (paid his debt to society) he should have his constitutional rights restored.

If he stays in white neighborhoods he should be relatively safe. Except maybe in rural East Texas.

It’s been said that half of Louisiana is under water and the other half is under indictment.
