I love this forum!

Even if the person has/distributes kiddie porn?
I always hear the "they did their time..." still feel the same? |

Good, if they did their time and aren't violent then let them have it. Too many people getting caught up with stupid felonies over white collar crimes or casual drug use.

The system needs revamped if your not safe in public with arms that means your not safe in public.

In the case of heinous and violent crimes such as murder, I don't understand the concept that serving a prison sentence repays a debt to society, especially for those that repeatedly commit those acts. Prison time is punishment, not absolution of sins.

View Quote The only practical argument I see here is if the person would use a gun to kidnap a child. Sorry, I have become a “prohibited person” due to spending time in a psychiatric hospital 5 times, all because of a prescription medication some quack put me on, who had had his license suspended years before, but only for 90 days, by the state medical board. I was never in such a hospital before being on this medication. So many of these gun laws are fucking bullshit and need to go. |

I hope this makes it to the SC ASAP.
I know multiple people who have been denied their rights for silly shit. One that got caught growing a single marijuana plant in college... etc. |

View Quote Dissent cites precedent which existed in the 9th before Bruen, then claims Bruen has nothing to do with this case so they must follow pre-Bruen case law. That should give you an idea how the Dem nominated blackrobes will continue to treat this subject. In Vongxay, we held that § 922(g)(1) does not violate the Second Amendment as applied to persons with nonviolent felony convictions. The Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), did not overrule Vongxay. Instead, Bruen reiterates that the Second Amendment right belongs only to law-abiding citizens. Duarte’s Second Amendment challenge to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), as applied to nonviolent offenders, is therefore foreclosed. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent. |

Good for rights.
9th circuit deciding this as the news talks about Biden losing support and votes. Seems overly coincidental. |

I should've worded it differently. Physical molestation is and always had been violent in referring to the mingling/possession/distribution of kiddie porn. |

For every 1 person who committed non violent felony and straightens their life out, there are 10 who progress to more violent crime.
It’s easy to think of the cherry picked “good guy” case but the reality is these “non-violent” felons progress in their criminal career. I personally disagree with this, but obviously ymmv. |

Good. If you are trustworthy enough to be part of free society you should be able to arm yourself. If you shouldn’t have guns you shouldn’t be part of free society.

Once you have done your time and are no longer "justice involved" you should no longer have your rights infringed upon. If that is still necessary you should still be locked up.

The core constitutional issue I see here:
The government wants "the people" to mean literally everyone in the world for the purpose of 25 amendments, but something totally different for just one other amendment. If it's all or nothing, then felons also have a notionally unencumbered right to vote. |

Are we going to define what "non-violent" entails? Because recently, speech has been identified as being "violent."
Those fragile little snowflakes that see an American flag and get triggered into a meltdown thinks anything that offends them is violent. Aside- it's a pretty obvious indicator of mental illness when someone breaks down crying at the sight of a MAGA hat, yet I haven't seen or heard any instance where a conservative breaks down at the sight of the USSR or Chinese flag. Imagine if the Right had the emotional fortitude of the Left. We would just crumble at the sight of a Che Guevara shirt. |

View Quote Maybe there's a significant disconnect between crime and punishment in America that can't be fixed by banning people from doing things while not in prison. If you send someone to prison and they come out a worse person, you are either fucking people up in prison, or letting people out who should not be let out. |

This is the only way we will eventually get something like provisions of the NFA repealed. We have to win every gun rights case, even if we don't like that it may restore 2A rights to people we aren't comfortable with. When a ban against certain people or a ban against certain kinds of guns is upheld, it makes this much harder... over the last century 2A restrictions have only grown, and we can't be picky about the wins we get.

However, if they did their time, and other constitutional rights are restored, then I don’t have a problem with 2A rights restoration also. When we start carving out exceptions to deny rights based on this, that, or the other, we start down a slippery slope our enemies will try to use to deny rights for all sorts of things. |

If one is a free person then they are free and should retain their rights once free Can't punish everyone because of a flawed system that lets pedos out. They should be executed or put away for life in my opinion. |

I don't want a government funded or staffed at a level to prohibit who has gun outside of the courts/jails/etc. The edge cases for big gov far outweigh any it could ever prevent.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I am responsible for everything I do.
