Thus almost every pre 72 Pennsylvania conviction for any misdemeanor such as a single DWI, drag racing or bastardy mandates the lifelong loss of gun rights even if no one was harmed and no jail times was involved. In Pennsylvania, with NRA support, they unsealed previously sealed juvenile records and took away the gun rights of people who were convicted of very minor offenses back in the 50's as 60's and have been model citizens ever since.

This is a clear violation of the ex post facto provision of the Constitution and taken directly from the Clintigula playbook.

To apply further punishment because someone "could have been sentenced to a certain term" smacks of the nineties conundrum "the facts of the case are not relevant, only the gravity of the allegation should determine punishment suffered by the accused"

These are very dangerous precedents and can lead to all manner of mayhem. Are you "guilty" of child abuse if a seatbelt is improperly fastened? Are you guilty of "domestic violence" if you don't remove snow and ice from your sidewalk in a manner designated by the state?

Bush '41 endorsed ex post facto tax law and now Bush '43 endorses Clintigulan ex post facto gun control.

If Citizens continue to abdicate their Sovereignty their Sovereignty will continue to evaporate.

Funny, I was just thinking about sovereignty the other day when I happened upon a road block. They said it was a "safety check." I had to provide my dl, ins card, and registration while other officers were glaring at me checking out my car's interior. They particulary wanted to know how I could afford such a car?
