Ninth Circuit: Felon Has ‘Right to Possess Firearm for Self-Defense’

[Blue Heeler]

So let me get this straight, some of y’all are complaining that the 9th circuit actually ruled IN FAVOR of a citizens 2A rights?? I don’t care how many felonies this guy has had, if he is out of prison then he should have ALL his rights restored, period. Now I know some of y’all Fudds don’t like that. But shall not be infringed means what it says, whether you agree with it or not.

I believe this guy was a five time convicted felon.

Interesting. I have to first differentiate what "type" of felon I would apply this to:

1) Felon that has served the sentence for their crime.
2) Felon who is on a deferred or suspended sentence.


No issue with a Felon who has served their sentence owning a firearm or voting.

Felon serving sentence in the public: they should not be allowed to posses a firearm (or vote) until the term of the sentence is completed.


People deserve a second chance.

Yes he was. But as long as he was out of prison free and clear and wasn’t on parole or on any conditions then he should have ALL his rights restored. That’s the way our constitution is supposed to work.
