Licensed gun owner Donald Trump will have to turn over all of his firearms in the coming weeks now that he has been found guilty of felonies in the Manhattan “hush money” case.
Under New York state and federal law, convicted felons are banned from possessing any type of firearm, and the former president must have his weapons legally passed off to another person or surrendered to authorities by his July 11 sentencing, criminal defense attorney Peter Tilem said.
“There is no grace period,” Tilem told The Post. “You are federally prohibited once you are convicted.”…

I’m not interested in all the details of the kangaroo court - no one should be taking it seriously.
Can’t pardon non-federal crimes.
He can pass them to his family.
“Trump has armed guards protecting him. So, should the secret service agents have to surrender their weapons too?”
Non sequitur.
Bull. A felon is just not allowed to possess or control. Nothing about proximity in the law. That would be rediculous.
I can see the agencies resisting the sharing of information with a convicted felon who otherwise would not have a security clearance.
There are two laws prohibiting possession of firearms by felons. One is at the state level, the other is federal. That's why.
Uh, he and the rest of us, did not see this coming. The USA has devolved quickly.
Doesn’t prevent other convicted felons from having guns though, they just dont want Trump to have any guns since it will make him easier to kill thats the whole point, its not about putting him behind bars its about killing him thats the ultimate goal
From the sea to shining sea
Donald Trump will be free!
Free Free Donald Trump!
Free Free Donald Trump!
No one has the authority to deny the voters a president by saying he needs to pass their security standard, we went through this with Obama, no one gives the boss of security clearances a clearance. Fiefdoms do play games with information and Presidents but if it comes to the attention of the boss, then he can assert his authority over them.
Don Jr. lives just down the ICW from me. He has a beautiful place to store them. I’m not even sure why this is a question.
It is only temporary anyway.
He can have them in his home. It’s already settled suorem court case
He can have them in his home. Federal and state level. Dems are just being ghey again.
Except it is a federal law and the FIB and ATF will be after him. Deep state….
I will not cooperate with Federal Law Enforcement going forward. I have been the victim in a bank robbery and was interviewed by the FBI multiple times. Not any more. Sorry, I don’t speak to law enforcement.
He never dreamed that the city that was his home, and for which he did so much, would turn on him so utterly.
Transfer them to his wife or kids. It happens every day.
Look what they did to Giuliani.
A felon can own firearms in FL? I did not know that. I thought it was a federal checklist I had to sign.
